Posted by Jasco on September 2, 2015 at 9:43 AM. Filed under Mobility

A common theme is emerging in many cities and households. Summer is quickly coming to a close, and with it, a change of mindsets. The change in the calendar leads to leaves changing color. The end of summer also signals the start school for many, and of course, football season.

Interestingly enough, fall doesn't officially start until the end of September, but many see Labor Day as the last weekend of summer. The Friday before Labor Day will also likely be the busiest travel day during the holiday weekend.

You are still a traveler even if you aren't planning to take an airplane. No matter which mode of transportation, you'll likely carry around your electronics to pass the time. Perhaps you'll watch a movie on an Amtrak ride, or gaze outside the car window listening to your favorite music. Either way, there are numerous Labor Day trip essentials you need for traveling this upcoming Labor Day weekend.

Keep your devices running 

Take inventory of what electronic devices you'll be taking on your trip because this list will determine what chargers to bring. You'll most likely have your phone and it's accompanying charger. Unfortunately, technology is not advanced to the point where a single charge can power smartphones for an entire week.

Your charging accessory will depend on your method of travel. It's not possible to use your regular charger while in the car. However, you can still use the USB cord, especially ones with plenty of length, provided you have a car charger. This accessory is designed to easily attach to a car's charging area. Older chargers may only offer one port for charging, but some car chargers are built with two USB slots. The whole family can rest easy knowing their devices will reach 100 percent in no time.

Keep yourself in seclusion

At some point during your Labor Day trip you'll likely want to sit back and listen to some music or watch a movie. If you're taking an airplane or train, service announcements often remind passengers to always use headphones or earbuds, to avoid disturbing others around them. 

If you're unsure whether to get headphones or earbuds, you should consider your travel needs. For instance, if you want high quality sound and comfort for your trip, go with headphones. This accessory can turn any trip into one filled with excellent bass and display the vocal range of your favorite artist. Likewise, little sound will bleed out, meaning other travelers won't hear that slightly embarrassing song on your playlist. With this accessory, your music will sound better than ever and other passengers won't be disturbed.

Earbuds are ideal for the minimal traveler who will likely want to close his or her eyes for a few moments. While wearing earbuds, you'll feel comfortable leaning your head against a pillow as you fall asleep to relaxing music and it packs easily into your pocket.

For everyone

Every smartphone owner needs power for their device. There's no simple way around this requirement. When traveling, our mobile devices get a lot of use - meaning their batteries are going to drain quickly. If you aren't lucky enough to have a car charger handy, a battery pack can be imperative to maintaining your devices on a long trip.

Before packing the suitcase or loading the car, create a list of essential items for your Labor Day travels. Car chargers and battery packs can provide extra battery life for long road trips, while headphones and earbuds will make music and movies sound better without risking comfort for the wearer or bothering those around you.
