In order to fit all of our must-have within the confines of our suitcase, we must pick and choose the items most important to us. Luckily, Inc.

Apple® iPad®

The iPad® is even more amazing now, with two cameras for FaceTime® and HD video recording, a dual-core A5 chip and 10-hour battery life, all in a thinner, lighter design.
