Call it a travel emergency stash, a travel essentials kit or a save-the-day bag; whatever the name, it contains crucially helpful items stored in a roller bag or checked luggage that ensures a vacation can get back on track.<\/p>\n

She also recommends taking along a multi-type power adapter, one that doesn\u2019t take up a lot of space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Eye mask and ear plugs: <\/strong>Packing them in your save-the-day bag gives you a second chance to not forget them \u2014 and sleep. Even if you don\u2019t use an eye mask or ear plugs at home, it\u2019s better to not lose sleep over a drape-less window or a rowdy bar next door.<\/p>\n
