The holiday season may have already passed, but I'm taking 10-day vacation now.
It's going to be a tech-light, trans-Atlantic trip to visit some relatives in Europe, and I'm looking forward to it immensely.
It may be a tech-light trip, but I'm still going to be taking some essentials to help me unwind, get some (creative) writing done, and keep half an eye on the rest of the world.
All of these products can fit into a (very specific) backpack, so there's no chance I'll lose them while traveling.
An iPad Pro
Amazon
The only computer-like thing I'm going to be bringing on this trip is my iPad Pro. It has ample power for serious work (which I don't plan on doing), while also being a perfect portal for media.
I'll primarily be using this device to show my overseas family pictures from the past year, with some light writing and photo editing thrown in for good measure. The best part? I won't have to take it out of my bag at airport security.

A Bluetooth iPad Pro keyboard
Amazon
I mentioned I'm going to be doing some writing on this trip, which means I'm going to be taking along my Brydge keyboard.
As a writer who's used to typing on an Apple laptop (or Apple keyboard) all day in my professional life, Brydge's keyboard is perfect. The keys are the same size, arranged in the same way (save for some iPad-specific buttons), and each key is backlit.
As someone who writes, but can get along almost perfectly on an iPad, this keyboard is a travel must-have.

A travel adapter
Amazon
It'd be downright foolish to leave the country without having some travel adapters handy. I bought mine years ago, but they're basically a differently named version of this adapter from LOOP.
Except this adapter bests mine by having plugs for countries all over the world, not just Europe like mine does.
LOOP World Adapter Plug, $17.85, available at Amazon
