Europe Postmortem – Comfort & Safety

WALKING CANE with NEW TIP

I knew I wanted something for stability from time to time but didn’t want it to look like a traditional cane. I found a cane that functioned like a walking stick and folded. I also ordered a slightly wider tip for more stability. I have to say it worked out great and I am sure it will get much use in the future. Click images to see the product pages…

SLING BAGS

Traveling Europe meant being aware of pickpockets. While our Travelon backpacks had locking zippers, wallets and phones needed to be protected. We bought these sling bags for something slim that we could easily jam into our backpacks if needed when flying. Stu’s worked out great and he may use it again while cruising. Time will tell.

For me, before we left, I decided to get a Travelon purse with anti-theft features and it worked out well. I will probably use the sling (I still love the colors/pattern) on cruises if I go ashore. The Travelon purse will go up for sale along with the Travelon backpacks.

CUSTOM LUGGAGE TAGS & LOCKING S-BINERS

These were a huge hit, so much I ordered another set. Colorful and sturdy, they do come from China and take a while, but I wouldn;t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. We attached them with Nite Ize Locking Micro S-Biners. We also used the S-Biners on our ECHO backpacks for a little more protection. Click images to see the product pages…

NITE IZE PHONE HITCH

These worked out well with Stu’s sling bag and my crossbody purse. We never felt worried about losing our phones but the bonus was them working like a bungy cord when the phone was dropped. And yes, we both did that! We took them off our phones when we got home, but plan to use them again during our three weeks of cruising in January. Click image to see the product page…

Ciao for now!
