"When it comes to technology, you really can take it with you these days. And on short business trips, with a bit of planning and a close look at what you need, you can even get it all into the overhead bin."
The toughest part of travel is figuring out what to bring along. Long airport security lines, a greater likelihood of lost and damaged baggage, and tightly enforced weight restrictions make it imperative for road warriors to lighten up and travel smarter.A year ago, I found seven gizmos and a few lightweight bags to help me consolidate the jumble of PCs, cameras, cords, adapters, music players, and other flotsam I travel with into a 10-pound tech payload. Today, sitting comfortably in my seat with my sturdy Tumi T3 Ducati Flip Flap briefcase ($225) and T3 Ducati Turn Transporter 22-inch roller bag ($525) stowed overhead, I'm happy I've replaced those seven electronic essentials with just five—weighing in at a hair over 5 lb.—for short jaunts of two or three days. For longer trips, the number of devices jumps to eight, though they still weigh less than the seven I carried a year ago.
