The Best Bet
Sure, you’ve seen international plug adapters before. But they don’t
usually come with a modem adapter that connects your laptop to telephone outlets in more than 80 countries. Tumi’s deluxe kit fits both adapters inside a mesh carrying case, and they’re simply and sleekly designed, too: No fiddling with obscure folding parts; just press a button and slide out the plug you need. Booking those impulsive
extra few days away just got easier ($95; 646-613-9101
or tumi.com).
