Listmania!

I was looking for something on amazon.com when my eye was caught by one of their many adds, this time on the left. Now they have links to so called Listmania! lists curated by some savvy customers (I would assume). I stumbled upon this one here. Just read the title and its description:



Travel stuff I like that can withstand abuse and long trips


A Listmania! list by N. Hawkins "whereishawkins" (Chicago)
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

The list author says: "I'm like you - I read the lists and buy products that look cool but turn out to be crap. Here's my list of items that survived many international travels and are worth their weight in gold.

Isn't that catchy? Maybe I am too easy to get carried away by cheap marketing. The thing is, I do travel a bit, and I have come to realize that there are gadgets that improve the travel experience substantially. e.g. the GPS. I can't imagine myself driving in an unknown place, especially a foreign country, without one.  We got to try it by accident -the car we rented had it built-in- and I am totally addicted to it since then.


Anyway, I already added to my amazon wishlist a couple of the items from this list. I particularly like the packing cubes and the traveling towel. Have you used any of these? Any recommendation to add or delete from this list? 


Once again, this is not a sponsored post, but hey, amazon, if you ever want to any of these days, I am open to possibilities :-).
