    What's your little luxury item?

    As I was packing last night, I threw in my favourite little luxury item: a $10 shower shelf that attaches itself to a glass surface via suction cups. This little beauty allows me to put the shampoo/soaps/shaving gear within easy reach in hotels that don't have any shelves in the shower.

    Sure enough, the room I've got this morning has no shelf in the shower, so I will happily attach my DIY shelf to make it a bit more like home.

    I'm also off to buy a longer ethernet cable this morning as this hotel has one so short that I have to sit at the desk rather than sitting on the lounge which is much more comfortable.

    So I got to thinking: what's your little luxury item that makes travelling life just that bit more bearable?

    Noise canceling headphones.

    I have 2 pairs:

    One Sony NDR5, for around Australia and to New Zealand.

    One Bose QC2s, for long distance flights.

    My Kensignton power pack. I have the power pack at home which saves me carting a brick back and forth to work. But when travelling it has various adapters that charge the ipod, blackberry and can provide power if flying on a carier with empoer ports (fewer and fewer now).

    russ,

    You shower shelf sound great but I know that I'd leave it behind, probably at the first hotel

    My ANR headphones are my real self treat. Absolutely wonderful.
    cheers,
    Bill.

    Add me to the headphone list as well.

    I bought a pair of Shure in-earphones in the US last year. More expensive than I really wanted to pay for headphones, but the sound quality, and sound isolating characteristics, are superb.

    My Bliss Lemon&Sage Sinkside 6, just in case the hotel offers generic bath amenities.
    I also bring onboard my own PJs on overnight flights in J, unless it's QF J.

    For me it is the NC headphones. I have a great pair of Sony (cant remember the model). Ever since I discovered this technology a few years back I have looked at lots of brands and models. They can make a trip so much more pleasant.

    I have on occasion wondered what would happen if one left it too long to get changed at the end of the flight and had to disembark in the PJs!
