Travelling is easier and more economical these days. And while every jetsetter travels light, I am sure they cannot leave home without most of his gadgets which include his phone (one or two), his laptop and charger batteries. If only we can compute the amount we spend on gadgets on a receipt printer every year, we can correctly assume that technology gadgets are next in line to our basic needs: food, shelter, clothing, transportation AND – you guessed it right – communication technology gadgets.

Here are some you should not leave home without when travelling:

1. The Universal Adapter

Consider what you’ll need a power adapter for — charging your camera, phone, laptop, and e-reader — and pack accordingly.

2. The Chargepod

3. The Transformer

4. The MP3 Player

5. The Laptop and TV Cord

6. The Mobile Phone

7. The Smartphone

Those with an iPhone, Blackberry, Droid, etc can access the Internet while traveling. But don’t forget to go into the phone’s settings panel and turn off "long-distance roaming" to avoid racking up huge data fees.

7½ . The Skype Connection

If you’ve got your laptop or Smartphone with you, use Skype for those long distance calls back home. Set up call forwarding on your Skype account so that people at home can call a different local number to ring you anywhere in the world for free.

8. The iPad

9. The USB Flash Drive

10. The GPS Navigation System
