Surprising Town In Georgia That Is Best For Bed & Breakfast Spots
A new year has started, and of course, many people have big plans for what the year will bring. And for some people, travel ranks pretty high on their list of what they’d like to do more of. When it comes to where you’ll stay, you have choices. Of course, there’s your typical hotel room, and a growing number of Airbnb rentals. Then there are bed and breakfast spots, if you’re looking for a little bit different experience.
What Is A Bed And Breakfast?
Maybe you’ve never been to, or stayed in a bed and breakfast, and you’re wondering what set it apart. First of all, it’s a business that accomodates overnight guests. And just like the name says… you get a bed AND breakfast.
These businesses are often run out of large family homes. This means there are going to be less rooms available. So, if you’re planning a getaway for a large group, you’ll probably need to look for different accomodations. Also, stays at bed and breakfasts are typically shorter periods of time, often just overnight.

10 Must Have Items Every Frequent Traveler Needs to Make Life Easier
Travel Jewelry Organizer
If you love to wear your jewelry and want to be sure to have enough during a trip, then this is for you. I got my jewelry organizer last year and it was a game-changer! No more limiting what jewelry you bring, you can organize it in this and keep everything safe from being tangled or damaged.
Refillable Perfume/Cologne Holders
Whether it’s the fact your original bottle is too big and not TSA approved or you just simply don’t want to carry the entire thing, then this is for you. I LOVE perfumes but sometimes risking losing or breaking a great bottle can be a lot. So, these refillable bottles make traveling easier because it’s small enough to be in a carry-on and you won’t have to worry about losing or damaging an entire bottle.
Packing Cubes
Now, I used to be very skeptical about these because I like to pack a LOT of clothes. But, packing cubes really are worth every penny! You can fit so many clothes, shoes, and items in your suitcase in such an organized way to have ample space. It makes packing so much easier when it’s in there neatly and you still have space for anything extra you may want to add at the last minute. If you haven’t gotten a set already, you need to ASAP.
Travel Cable Organizers
As someone who has tons of cables, this was a must. I have a phone charger, laptop charger, iPad charger, camera charger, portable charger plug, and probably more somewhere. So, this waterproof cable organizer makes everything so much easier. You don’t have to worry about looking everywhere for charger pieces and wondering if you forgot something, it will all be right here in the organizer.
Toiletry Bag
Now, everyone typically has the thing they keep their toiletries in but this is different. It’s not a regular toiletry bag. This one, you can have all of your items (full-sized bottles if needed) in this compartment and then have it hanging somewhere in the hotel, house, etc. It keeps everything organized in separate compartments but also can be put up to hang down so it’s visible and you know exactly where everything is. GENIUS! My first time using it made me realize I had clearly been doing things all wrong.
Travel Blanket + Neck Pillow Combo
This one is pretty self-explanatory. It’s great for planes, car rides, and I am sure anything else you have to sit and travel on. Some places are way colder than you prepare for, so the pillow and blanket combo that can be rolled into one and easily transported makes everything easy.
Air Tag
Worried about losing your stuff? We know how airports can go, so why not track your own luggage just in case? An Air Tag will have the location of your bag right on your phone so that you know exactly where it is at all times!
Travel Bottles Set
In case you have a lot of full-sized items and are using a carry-on, you have to be sure everything is TSA approved. I have learned my lesson, it’s no need to risk not being able to carry your items. So, just having the TSA-approved travel bottle to fill up with any liquids, creams, etc will make your life so much easier.
Headphone Adapter for Planes
We all know planes have those headphone jacks for you to watch movies and shows. But, if you don’t have the classic headphones with the proper cable then you can’t hear anything. It’s the worst. So, this adapter to allow you to use your AirPods and other wireless headphones to listen to movies and shows on the plane will make the trip easier.
Charger Plug Extender
In case you go somewhere with not enough outlets or need more plugs in a specific area, then this is perfect for you. I typically use stuff like this when I need more things plugged up at once. You know, flat irons, curling irons, speakers, phones, cameras, and whatever else I may be charging and need to be somewhat near me it’s the perfect thing to have. You never know when you might need it. You can also be sure to get the ones adaptable for European travel if you’re going out that way.
