Tech to Take On Vacation in 2024

While the best of today’s smartphones take outstanding photos and record high-quality videos, enthusiasts still like the creative control and versatility a separate digital camera or camcorder can provider, whether it be a digital SLR camera or a video camera such as a GoPro. These devices not only tout high resolution and many features, they also have WiFi capability that allows them to upload photos and videos instantly to social media platforms.

A portable laptop gives users a convenient means of journaling travels, editing photos and videos, and keeping up with tasks such as keeping track of finances while away.

These handy, compact devices enable one to shoot and process photos and videos, listen to music, watch pre-recorded video content, and, particularly with e-readers, keep up with both new and favorite books and magazines. 

A portable power bank will provide an instant means to keep smartphones and other portable devices charged and not have to scrounge around for outlets.

Today’s portable, Bluetooth-powered speakers allow high-fidelity reproduction of favorite tunes at the beach or campsite.

Those who travel to foreign countries often know that wall plugs inevitably have different configurations that render chargers and plugs for U.S. outlets largely useless. But fortunately, voltage converters that are configured with various pin arrangements to fit different wall outlets in other countries are readily available.

With overhead compartment space in aircraft at a premium, being able to easily track the whereabouts of luggage is substantially simplifies with Bluetooth-compatible luggage tracking devices such as Apple AirTags.

While ironing clothes in a hotel room is not one of life’s vacation pleasures, the task is sometimes needed to unwrinkle clothes that become disshelved from being packed in luggage. Couple this with the fact that not all hotel rooms have irons, carrying a portable iron and steamer can save an outrageous travel laundary while ensuring one’s clothes look good for an evening out.

Having access to a portable WiFi hotspot avoids the need to hunt for a WiFi connection, particularly in remote areas, and potentially reduces concerns about security with public WiFi networks.

Forget using the cheap egiven out on airplanes. Instead, invest a little in a good set of noise-cancelling headphones or ear buds for a much more enriching audio experience whether with one’s one portable devices or the seat side infotainment systems onboard the plane.
