Carry-On Suitcase – Samsonite Spinner
My wife and I put two suitcases on our wedding registry, and I’m sure glad that I ended up with this one! It is pretty much as large as it can be to still pass for a carry-on, which is why I chose it. It rolls smoothly through the airport or train station and I’ve found that the dividers and straps inside come in handy too. The hard sidewalls make it ideal for collecting precious Japanese souvenirs!

Noise Cancelling, Extra Bass Earbuds
These are essential for the long flight to Japan!
If your earbuds are Apple “flash” compatible or Bluetooth, then you’ll be stuck on the plane with those cheap airline earbuds that have no bass and sound like you’re watching a movie in the airplane’s hanger. In my carry-on bag, I always bring a pair of higher quality earbuds that I can plug into the on-board entertainment system. Plus, they double as earplugs when you want to sleep!

Portable Phone/Tablet Charger
I love this little charger. It has been a lifesaver on long train rides and flights. The 4.8A output means It even charges your phone faster than a wall outlet does! In addition, it has two USB outlets, meaning you can charge two things at once. If you are travelling in pairs, you only need one power bank. It’s a great size and weight, so it doesn’t weigh you down or take up too much space. When fully charged, it holds enough power to charge your phone several times over, but can also charge tablets, ear pods, cameras, or any device that utilizes a USB charger. Be sure to bring it along for long days exploring new cities or traveling between ballparks and never worry about running out of phone battery again. It’s an absolute must have for keeping your devices ready to capture all the magic of our baseball tours.

Travel Laundry Detergent
I take pride in packing light, but I couldn’t do so without these. Humid climates like those in Japan and the Dominican Republic make re-wearing clothes without washing them a disservice to your fellow travelers, but it’s often impractical to do laundry when we’re traveling up and down the country watching baseball games. These detergent packs let you do a small load of laundry in your hotel room’s sink or bathtub. Hang the wet clothes overnight, especially with the AC on, and you’ll be fresh and ready to sweat again in the morning.
