These are the things we use on trips.

We use these mask any time we are traveling.  We have taken 7 cruises in the last 6 months, and we have stayed healthy.

This is our 2nd Delsey bag. It has two unevenly sized compartments, only one side zippers shut. It has spinner wheels. This bag has held up really well through our last 3 cruises, and the associated flights.

When recording video with my DSLR, a gimbal goes a long way to making the video better, less motion and jitter, plus you can use the gimbal to achieve special effects.

 

This is Ken's pill minder. It is large enough to hold  his meds and vitamins. Be sure to take a photo of your med bottles in case you need an unexpected refill on your trip.

This makes it much easier to push the wheelchair with one hand.  I need this because often, I am pushing the wheelchair and pulling a laptop or other rolling case.

This is Cheryl's med minder. She loves the small size per compartment. Using 1 compartment a day this holds med for a whole month. The small size is perfect for discreetly taking your meds to meals.

We purchased these for ourselves and our friends who are traveling with us.  This size will work for both the wide luggage tags and the narrow ones.

We bought these locks for use on some of our suitcases which we no longer have the key to the lock.  They worked well and held up well.

Cheryl pill minder for her many vitamins. The entire pack closes with a tight, yet easy to use clasp across the front, so it stays shut in carry on bags. Each day's pack is removable to take with you to meals.

We purchase the small travel tubes in bulk.  They are much cheaper than buying them at the grocery store, and if you lose one, it is not a big deal.

These work good on the airplane to watch videos on a device, plus they work well for a cell phone or computer.

I installed this on my wife's wheelchair on our Panama Canal cruise, and in one port we traversed some very bumpy terrain.  This kept my gimbal with my action camera mounted steady.

This scooter cover/raincoat has saved our personal items several times when rainstorms came up quickly. It is heavy duty, the weight helps reduce it from flying up in the wind. And the weight helps Cheryl stay warm as well. 

Cheryl loves hew new smaller makeup case. One zipper makes it easy to use, but several compartments in the top section make it easy to find and select the items she needs.

Arm rests have been torn off the wheelchair several times by taxis. The shorter size is long enough for our chair and has less overlap. That reduces the risk of them being torn off. Positioning them more inside than outside the arm frame helps them stay on as well.

This is Cheryl's camera case. It is large enough to hold the Lumix FX80, a battery charger, manual, lens wipes, batteries, and extra SD cards. It is lightweight, but cushions the camera.

This was our first Delsey luggage case. It is evenly divided into two zippered compartments. It rolls so easily we decided to purchase a second case and donate our old suitcases.

 One of these clear bag holds all the small personal items we both need. Each of us has a large and a small section. Being clear it is easy to find what you need. Waterproof for bathroom use. The bottom section zips off to leave by the bed for your nightly routine.

Cheryl's lightweight, water resistant carry on. Clear to easily find that item you are looking for. Holds a water bottle for each of us on excursions. Outer pocket is perfect for extra masks and sanitizer.

This luggage scale has provided us with accurate weights of our luggage before we leave for the airport. No more repacking at the airport to minimize bag fees.

Laundry strips work so well, we even use them at home. A few can be tucked into a small ziplock bag, taking up almost no space. No more buying expensive detergent at hotels.

This is the type of budget-minded wheelchair cushion Cheryl usually uses. But she has covered hers with a flower print to make it less easily forgotten on excursions and flying.

This is Cheryl's most preferrred cushion. Add air to the level of firmness you desire. The fabric cover is very durable. Because it is air filled it is lightweight. You may need to take the air pump with you in case it deflates on your trip.

Our favorite way to charge our phones and cameras on board. The extra outlets are wonderful on older ships.

This is the newest version of the camera Ken uses for photos and videos on our trips. To learn basic functions there are nice videos on YouTube by other photographers. There is a digital user manual available for Lumix cameras, useful for the special features.

This is the camera model Cheryl uses for photo and video. It is lighterweight and less cumbersome than the model used by Ken. Having similar cameras makes it easy to use each other's camera.

This is Ken's camera case for a larger model camera. It has a movable divider to separate the camera from battery chargers and batteries. This case fills an average backpack about 2/3rds full.

GB camera SD cards are the smallest size we use. We also have a few 256 GB SD cards.

This is our favorite tripod for pics with us together on trips. It's lightweight but stable enough to hold either camera.

Having lost a few of these in our travels, we try to carry a spare to mount the camera on the tripod.

We use this for phone selfies and taking video with a phone sitting on a table. The Bluetooth remote makes it easy to take a photo from a distance.

These handy lens cleaners come individually wrapped to stay clean. Washable, reusable.

We use these to protect our camera while taking photos when its raining.

This organizer takes up suitcase space, but for older ships with few closets or shelving it is worth taking. We have used it to store shoes, foldable hats, chargers, cords, and more.

Nearly identical to Cheryl's wheelchair this reclines to rest her back. We remove the headrest and carry it on the plane. Usually we do not use the foot rests as they take room and Cheryl can use her legs to help move her as her long legs reach the floor comfortably. The head cushion was too firm, to minimize space, she uses on a jacket or other small item for a pilow when traveling.
