2024 Fall Travel Essentials Guide

As we transition into a new season it is fun to share some of my latest finds in my fall travel essentials guide! Hitting the road as the leaves change offers new views and new adventures. It is nice to have the products that help ease the way along the road!

The Foldie Sling Bag and Rollink 4 Wheel spinner

This is a new release, the Foldie Sling Bag I received to review. I love so many things about this cross-body sling bag. First, the theft protection, it is RFID safe! RFID stands for radio-frequency identification. The bag is washable and big enough to hold my wallet, keys and phone and a small notebook. This includes all my travel writing needs! Hands free is always the way to go for me. The bag comes in 11 colors. I choose black because that will go with anything on the road. They have larger bags as well, and they all fold! I love travel bags, and this is a great one.

Packing is always a chore. I roll my clothes to save space and like to keep my suitcase as light as possible. I was thrilled to receive the Rollink 4-wheel spinner to review. This is the world’s slimmest 4-wheel spinner, a 22″ carry on. However, it expands, making it perfect for my upcoming train travel to Chicago! Easy to move, lots of room, perfect!

The Original Muck Boot & Dr. Motion Socks

What is more fun than swap meets or fall festivals? If my husband Keith is not in the fields, we like to hit corn picking days, fall tractor shows and we especially love the Spoon River Drive, Covered Bridge Festival and other great fall adventures. While you can predict the event will happen, what you can’t predict is the weather. If the rain comes, Keith is ready with this great original Muck Boot! We received these to review. These Chore Western boots are 100% waterproof. The square toe boots are fashionable, yet sturdy. Although he is a farmer, not a cowboy, this is the perfect fit. Keith has been keeping them in the back of his truck ready for a muddy field or festival. He won’t let a little rain stop him from seeing that part, machine, or flea market find he is after!

Like Keith, I am often out walking at tractor shows, hiking trails, or pounding the pavement at historic sites. While trying to stay fit for travel, I consider comfort is a big consideration, so I was thrilled to receive the pretty, comfortable and breathable Dr. Motion compression socks to review, which they said, “are for small town and big city adventures”.

I have received the crew socks before, but this was the first time I got a pair of the knee socks. I love them and find that I use them as much for slippers as well as with comfortable footwear.

Flea Market Finds and comfort clothes!

Lately I have been finding a few great fleamarket finds in the way of clothing! This last year, our children and their spouses got us a great holiday gift, a trip to Wayne County Indiana! We stayed at the wonderful Inn at High Hats which is above the High Hats Antique Mall. This was a spacious, beautiful place in downtown, historic Cambridge City. We antiqued, dined, and shopped.

Before heading over the Cambridge City, we went to the antique tractor show and flea market in Portland, Indiana. This year like a couple of years ago, we scored a ride on a biplane!

That was amazing! While at the Jay County Fairgrounds I spied a great flea market find, a cool dress that is light, pretty, and perfect for daytrips!

While traveling, I loved my new floral nightgown I received for review! Made by the Ekouaer line of Pj’s, the product is soft, comfy and luxurious!

Back at home

Before leaving on a fall adventure, I want my home and car to be up to par so I don’t have to worry when I return home. With laundry, checking mail and messages, there is enough to do on a return home! I received the great, Dovety 9 in 1 Multifunctional Electric Spin Scrubber for review.

This worked great in my shower and behind my tub where it is hard to reach. There is also a brush for the car which I want to try soon. What a variety of ways this tool can be used! I love that it makes cleaning easier, quicker, and more efficient! This helps me destress!

Travel Memories

While I usually pick up a piece of jewelry on my trips, there are many ways to make travel memories. My sister Debbie’s friend took a plain mug and jazzed it up. On all her trips, she places stickers of the places she visits and has a one-of-a-kind memory to take back home.

What kind of souvenir do you bring home? What travel essentials are you using that I should know about? I will add to my fall travel essential’s guide as I find new and different things to try. In the meantime, I hope these items spur some thoughts for you the next time you head out on a trip!
