Lighter than light!

In the same subject as the frequent traveler must haves, THIS:

Sony Vaio Pro 11 Inch, carbon fiber.
Very good battery life, ideal for traveling because it is le lightest laptop on earth (for new), even lighter than a MacBook Air. for around 1000 USD.

Guys, meet my new ride, Gaaaaaaaaaas



BMW R1200R, 2013, ABS, ESA, AKRA....
The real gentlemen ride :-)

Audio Technica ATH-ANC7

Another frequent traveler must have is a noise canceling headphones, of course, if can't afford the BOSE QC15, go for the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7, they offer a very good sound quality, comfortable over the ears, more than 90% of noise canceling, ok, they perform 5% less than the Bose but I got them 100 Euros less!!!
The battery lasts for a very long time, I used the same battery on a 16h flight to LA (total of 34h both ways)
and they still work.
They come with two mini jack cable, plane adapter and a rigid pouch.
I believe these are obsolete now and replaced with new ones, but you can still find them in some stores.

Long flight ahead? you will need this: Memory foam pillow

Unless all of your travels are in first class, and even if cannot sleep in the plane, you will need this pillow, the material is very nice, a bit warm, but it will envelop your neck, you can adjust it to your morphology and it is very comfortable!!!

For 40 USD, it is a very decent and comfortable pillow, pretty compact when wrapped in its bag.

Galaxy Note 3

What to say about the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, humm, I love it, it's my phone, MP3 player, GPS, Tablet, Plenty of cool travel apps which I'll speak about later.
It comes with very decent in ear headphones, which I prefer from far to the Apple earpods, the Samsung ones fit better in my ears and block a big part of the outside ambient noise including the plane engine sound, babies crying or people talking :-P
The stylus makes really the difference with other mobiles.
The size, a bit big, but you get used to it and any regular phone will look tiny in your hands, and it fits in my casual pants pocket.
Oh, the Note 4, still not sure if I get it or not, technically, the difference is not worth the price difference with the Note 3 which you can get now for a very good price.

The following are some of the frequent traveler must haves, this is coming from my own experience

The best of the best in oral health, the Philips Sonicare DiamondClean, it costs around 300 USD (maybe the most expensive in the market) but it is completely worth the money.
It comes with a lot of accessories, most important are two heads and a travel pouch.
USB rechargeable and the battery lasts for ages.
And of course, gives a very fresh and clean gum and teeth.
By the way, it exists in a black limited version which looks fantastic, but I took the white just because of the replacement heads are all white.
