![]() | Apple iPod touch 32 GB (2nd Generation) OLD MODEL
Buy new: $264.99 / Used from: $210.00 I love my iPod touch. It'll give you something to do in those 18 hour flights. Load it with lots of applications and lots of music. I also like the fact that I have Bank of America, New York Times and Facebook mobile on my iPod. Can't live without those 3 apps. Oh, and lots of games.

Buy used from: $199.00 For bookworms like me, it'll save your sanity during those long hours of waiting at the airport and aboard the planes, cruise ships & trains.

Buy new: $1,349.95 / Used from: $549.99 I love this High Definition handycam. I concede that it's a little heavy to be lugged around all day, but it takes really good videos. So unless you are traveling with your kids and would like for them to have a memento of the trip, leave it home. I always travel alone, so I don't really need to have a handycam all the time.
