This one is a must have for scuba, snorkeling and just any other water activity. Requires weights (See below). Super easy to use and really works great! Made by Canon specifically for G9 (though they make cases for other Canon cameras too, like Digital Elf 1000)

3 weights from this set are needed for Canon G9 underwater enclosure for negative buoyancy

Sometimes you just want small camera which fits in your pocket, so you don't look like a tourist. SD1000 makes killer photos, is super small and uses the same flash cards as G9. There is also an underwater enclosure for it made by Canon -perfect for snorkeling, but for scuba - buy an enclosure for G9 - is it worth exrta $$. Get spare batteries

Many hotels have only one free power outlet - I use this little strip all the time. Very high quality you would expect from Monster cable people.

Protects your iPhone with good-grip plastic shell and as a side benefit hides the Apple logo - providing additional security for your iPhone while in other countries (advertising that you have an expensive phone abroad is a sure recipe for trouble). Mine is the same but in black color.

You ALSO need a small ipod for the beach and other places where having your large one is not practical or safe.

This is the best portable speaker system on the market. Works both plugged in and with batteries. Sturdy and good size. Works with PSP too. Sony used to make another good model (Sony SRS-T77), but it is long discontinued

A simple device allowing for watching movies or listening music by two people from the same device. Yes, I know - it used to come in black too :-(

Double your MacBook's hard drive space for under $100. Medium-Easy self-installation or bring it to your local Mac repair shop. Make sure to back up your original hard drive first to external hard drive using SuperDuper shareware.

These are great for sharing large files. Get a bunch of cheap ones as you will be giving them away. 4GB seems to be the "sweet spot" of price / capacity at the current time.

I wish they had them in black ...

A toolbox in one tool. Again will get confiscated if you try to bring it aboard of a plane. Get one with nylon sheath - leather one is too heavy.

Tumi makes the best luggage. Period. This is the best satshel for a carry-on. See other Tumi luggage pieces here or on Tumi web site. It will last you forever and always look like new.

In some countries you don't want to advertise the country of your citizenshit, so this one makes a nice cover. Protecting your RFID info is an added bonus. Update: RFID protecting metal shield sets off airport metal detector.

Great travel towel - dries fast and lightweight

Super nice sunglasses, high quality, light and durable and come with 4 sets of interchangeable lenses and another set of temple pieces with build in cord, making them perfect for all occasions including extreme sports. 100% UV protection. As a bonus they don't look like "sports glasses" or as "expensive glasses" so they are not as likely to get stolen. I obviously have a pair with black frames.

This company makes the best products. Get the "LifeGuard's Choice" Lip balm for maximum Sun protection - just remember it will come out white.

Trust me - you will need it. Pack both rolls just in case you loose one or need extra. A tube of some variety of "Crazy Glue" is also nice to have.

Antibacterial Hands & Face Wipes - a must have especially considering the swine flu epidemic.

This non-padded pouch with multiple pockets is great for all of your small technology essentials - spare batteries, flash cards, small cords, adaptors and the like. Weights close to nothing and mesh zippered pockets allow to easily see and find the items. I have one in different pocket combination and obviously in black color, but it is not sold on Amazon
