Beyond the Basics: Uncommon Travel Essentials That You Need

Recently, we published two posts reviewing travel essentials, which were centered around technology and packing. I asked many of you what we were missing from our lists, and the results were impressive.  Some of these items, I also use when traveling, but some were totally new to me, and great to discover.  We thought it would be fun to share these “uncommon” items with you, way beyond the basics.
