Traveling can be a hassle.\u00a0 Take off your shoes. Take off your belt. Leave that bottle of water behind. Stand in line. Squeeze into the middle seat. Wait for your bags. Stand in line for a taxi. Dang.<\/p>\n

With all that can be annoying about travel, let\u2019s talk about a couple things that will add pleasure back into the whole travel experience. There\u2019s a pair of items I discovered in the Magellan\u2019s<\/a> catalog of travel accessories that I\u2019ll take on every trip from now on\u2026the Cat Nap Transit Pillow<\/a> and the Men\u2019s Microfiber Travel Robe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Five Star Comfort with this travel robe
\n<\/b><\/h1>\n

\"Magellans<\/a>One of the things I always enjoy about staying at luxurious hotels is the pair of robes awaiting in the closet.\u00a0 After unpacking and grabbing a shower, slipping on a comfortable robe and enjoying a hot cup of coffee is my favorite way to relax.<\/p>\n

But if the travel budget doesn\u2019t allow luxurious accommodations, you can be pretty sure you\u2019re not going to find that robe waiting for you at Motel 6.<\/p>\n

Now however, I\u2019ve discovered a robe light enough to pack, so no matter where I\u2019m staying, I can still relax in comfort.\u00a0 This microfiber robe actually tucks itself into its own zippered 7\u201d x 7\u201d pocket. The MZ001 travel robe is available in Navy or Castlerock (grey) in sizes M\/L or XL\/XXL for men.\u00a0 Ladies WZ025 robes<\/a> come in Wine or Lavendar in sizes S\/M or L\/XL.<\/p>\n

Heavy enough to avoid \u201csee-through\u201d but light enough to take anywhere, these 100% polyester robes can be machine or sink-washed and dry quickly.\u00a0 They come with two pockets and two belt loops. If you enjoy a robe, you\u2019ve got to check these out.<\/p>\n

Infinitely adjustable travel pillow<\/b><\/h1>\n

I\u2019ve used a few travel pillows in the past and was never a big fan of most. That changed with my first use of the Cat Nap Transit Pillow<\/a> from Eagle Creek.<\/p>\n

\"Magellans<\/a>First of all, it\u2019s a generous size.\u00a0 Inflated it\u2019s 12.5\u201d x 16.5\u201d x 5.5\u201d.\u00a0 Deflated it\u2019s only 6\u201d x 8\u201d x1\u201d. It weighs just 8 ounces and is available in two colors \u2013 a micro fleece Charcoal and an embossed micro fleece Jade Bali.<\/p>\n

The inflation valve is unusually large, yet flat, enabling you to really give it a big huff and a puff to blow it up.\u00a0 Just a couple breathes was all it took for me to get it to a comfortable inflation for a head pillow. When it\u2019s time to deflate, it literally can let out the air in just two seconds.<\/p>\n

I recently flew US to Dubai to Africa and back and used this on every leg of the trip. It was fantastic.<\/p>\n

The microfiber exterior cover was extremely comfortable to lay against. None of the sweating I experienced before with other vinyl pillows.\u00a0 The cover even comes off for washing.<\/p>\n

I also used the pillow as a lumbar support for taking a nap.\u00a0 Sliding the pillow behind my lower back, I was able to slouch down into an almost straight reclining position and yet keep my back supported the entire time.\u00a0 Again, the easy to adjust filling valve makes it a snap to over-inflate and then adjust to just the right inflation to suit your position.<\/p>\n

This pillow has earned a permanent place in my travel backpack. Check it out for yourself at Magellan\u2019s<\/a>.
