Caffeinated Travel Soap
You're already waking up in a strange city. Forget about having to hunt down the nearest coffee shop after your morning shower. With Shower Shock's caffeinated soap bars, you can get clean and caffeinated at the same time. Each travel-size bar comes loaded with 900 mg. of caffeine (the equivalent of roughly nine cups of coffee), which is somehow safely absorbed through the skin. Three-pack, $9.99, ThinkGeek.com

Swiss Memory
The geniuses at Swiss Army really outdid themselves this time. Combining classic Swiss Army tools with modern-day technology, they've created the ultimate line of geek tools for businessmen. The knives in the SwissMemory travel collection include the usual scissors, pen, LED light and mini blade. But the signature feature is the USB Memory stick (64MB to 1GB), which can be easily removed for safe travels. $73 to $197, SwissArmy.com

LifeStraw
Not all cities are blessed with safe, drinkable tap water. That's why the good folks at Swiss-based Vestergaard Frandsen are developing an easy-to-use LifeStraw. Just suck and sip, and the straw instantly purifies contaminated surface water. While it won't be available until at least 2007, the straw will surely come in handy for those future off-the-beaten-path trips to places like Borneo, the Amazon or New Jersey. LifeStraw.com

Noise-Canceling Headphones
Serious business travelers never leave town without a pair of quality noise-canceling headphones. We recommend the Plane Quiet NC6, for its comfortable fit, quality sound and collapsible design. In addition to drowning out annoying plane sounds, like the whirring engine or the crying baby two aisles back, the Plane Quiet also works wonders for tuning out those noisy coworkers at the office. $54.95, ProTravelGear.com

XpressCheck Computer Traveler
Travel with Brookestone's 21" XpressCheck Computer Traveler and you'll zip by the security screener faster than he can say, "Spread 'em." Simply unzip the included laptop case from the front compartment, slip your wallet and keys into one of two quick-access pockets and you're in for a clean and speedy getaway. $200, Brookstone.com |
