Whether you’re treating a case of wanderlust or traveling for work, there’s no reason luxury should be a packing casualty.
These latest luxury necessities will get you comfortable and prepared for your next flight.
If it’s good enough for the ultimate international spy, it’s good enough for a sales trip to Ypsilanti.
Nearly every Cucinelli 2013 item seems to be made with the fashion-forward adventurer in mind.
These ones also come with Bluetooth capability that allows you to take calls and the TalkThrough feature lets you have a conversation with the flight attendant without doffing your cans.
Just make sure the guy next to you doesn’t catch on to that function.
Designed to look like the machine your dad toted around on family road trips, this 12-ounce, pocket-sized shooter snaps images the old man couldn’t have dreamed of.
Handmade with Victorian machinery, these timeless suitcases will stay in the family for generations and get cooler with wear.
Dr. Henry Walton “Indiana” Jones Jr. laced up his handcrafted, impossibly comfortable Alden 405 boots whenever he left campus to track down Nazis and archeological wonders.
The SwaroVision glasses come with the highest quality optical performance you’ll find in a binocular that comes in a size you won’t mind hauling around.
And you’ll have no problem taking them with you wherever you go since they easily fit in almost any pocket.
The device even tells you your exact altitude by tracking changes in pressure.
BaseCamp software helps you plan your excursion beforehand, and the camera feature geotags images instantly so that you’ll know the exact spot where you took each photo.
The contour-adjusting head helps prevent irritation and the SenseTouch’s quiet motor makes sure you don’t wake up any travel companions who, unlike go-getter you, are sleeping in.
Don’t be ridiculous -- you can bring a computer that functions as both.
Connect a keyboard to the tablet and it functions as a laptop -- not just a tablet with a keyboard.
There’s enough room in front to sleep four comfortably, and the rear storage will fit a couple kayaks and loads of luggage.

What sets Ethiopia apart from its African neighbors?
The excellent coffee?
The fact that it was never colonized?
Or that Rastafarians regard it as their spiritual home?
Or could it be the smooth, well-maintained roads, so rare on the continent, that make exploring the country by car such a joy?
After a 1,430-kilometer drive through Ethiopia's Northern Circuit -- up mountains, through Martian-like landscapes, into lost kingdoms of yore -- we found 10 crucial things that define the country.
The buzzing bedlam of Mahatma Gandhi Street in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, is the setting for Castelli’s -- arguably the best Italian restaurant this side of Bologna.
An Italian soldier, Francesco Castelli, founded the modest-looking eatery at the end of WWII. Since then it's gained a global profile thanks to endorsement from celebrity diners such as Bob Geldof, Bono and Brad and Angelina.
But, high-profile praise aside, it’s the food that makes Castelli’s worth a visit before setting off from Addis into the Ethiopian wilds.
Ristorante Castelli, Mahatma Gandhi Street, Addis Ababa; +251 1 563 580, +251 1 571 757
Like great Italian food, coffee is one of the legacies of the Italian occupation of Ethiopia during WWII.
While Mussolini’s men proved inept colonists (the Allies defeated them in 1943), their tenure in the country did at least ensure that an Italian-style espresso machine was installed in most cafes, restaurants and -- weary travelers will be pleased to know -- even dilapidated roadside shacks.
Ethiopians love their coffee and take pride in the fact that the plant’s invigorating effects were first discovered in the Oromia region of the country (see the 2006 documentary Black Gold).
Other African nations have roads -- it’s just that few are a patch with those in Ethiopia.
The quality tarmac comes courtesy of huge Chinese investment -- in 2009, it was estimated that China had poured $900 million into Ethiopia’s infrastructure, a figure that's since increased exponentially.
Anyone who's driven into Ethiopia from Kenya, via the perilous Marsabit route (fraught with bumps, brigands and bandits) will attest what a difference a nice road makes.
Ethiopia’s incredible mountain-top highway vistas don’t hurt, either.
Zanzibar: A very cultural beach holiday
Seen throughout the country, these defunct war machines stand as forbidding reminders of Ethiopia's troubled past -- and double as fun climbing frames for local children. (Next door Eritrea is the place to see if you really dig disused materiel.)
In the late 12th century, Gebre Mesqel Lalibela had 13 churches -- Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian nations -- carved out of solid rock.
His achievement (meaning that of his stonemasons and slaves) is still incredibly impressive nine centuries on.
Lalibela -- the first major point of interest on the Northern Circuit -- is a 10-hour journey from Addis Ababa.
Head north up Route 1, passing through Debre Birhan, Kombolcha and Dessie. At Weldiya, leave the highway and follow the road west to Gashena.
At Gashena, take the road north to Lalibela.
So why visit what National Geographic calls “the cruelest place on Earth?”
Well, this also happens to be one of the most arresting natural sights you'll see in Africa -- or anywhere else.
With an unforgiving landscape that’s difficult to navigate, it’s also one of the few places in Ethiopia where you shouldn’t travel alone: most people go with an escort or in a convoy.
Tours can be arranged in Abbis. Reputable agency Ethiopia Travel and Tours (info@ethiotravelandtours.com) charges around $550 for a four-day trip.
There is, however, a discriminatory door policy: only men are permitted to make the perilous ascent to the monastery.
That rule doesn’t apply just to female humans -- even livestock of the fairer sex apparently risk distracting the monks from holy contemplation.
Gents who brave the climb can enjoy stunning vistas, as well as a chance to eye some of the most ancient Christian scripture in Africa.
Be warned that unofficial “guides” will try to extort inflated fees for their services before letting you back down the cliff -- negotiate the charge beforehand.
It’s practical to visit Debre Damo en route to Aksum.
The monastery lies just outside the small town of Bizet, 12 hours’ drive north of Addis and about 50 kilometers west of Adigrat, the last stop on Route 1 before turning west on to Route 15.
Follow the road to Bizet and keep a keen eye out for the turn to Debre Damo on the right.
Someone should have told Indiana Jones that before he set off for Cairo.
According to enthusiastic local sources, the historic town of Aksum -- focal point of the Aksumite Empire (AD 100-940) -- is the resting place of the Ark of the Covenant.
The catch? No one’s actually allowed to see it.
The closest you can get is by paying a few dollars to one of the tracksuit-clad men posturing as guards outside the temple where the ark is purportedly kept.
Luckily, Aksum is home to plenty of ancient tombs and other monuments, which makes the drive to one of Ethiopia’s northernmost towns worthwhile -- ark or not.
Though Aksum can be reached by a small road west of Mek’ele, people wanting to visit Debre Damo monastery as well should take Route 1, turning west on to Route 15 at Adigrat, and join Route 3 at Adwa.
Ethiopians are proud of their former ruler’s supposed status as Jesus incarnate and some have adopted the dress and lifestyle habits of their Jamaican counterparts -- which makes meeting them in the Simien Mountains all the more bizarre.
The roadside Rastas you’re likely to meet are a friendly bunch, who’ll happily talk you through points of interest in the area (often relating to high cliffs off which Italian soldiers were thrown), as well as hawking red, green and yellow hats and accessories.
Aside from a few eye-catching art deco buildings left over from the Italian occupation, the castles of Fasilides, Iyasu and Mentwab, in the former imperial capital of Gondar, are the structures that stay in the mind.
Gondar is a five-hour drive southwest of Aksum. Follow Route 3 through the Simien Mountains.
A good stopping point is Debark, with its mountain vistas.

Call it a celebration or a commiseration, the art of throwing a stag party is in the itinerary -- of hitting just the right combination of bars, clubbing, hangover food, daytime fun and down time.
For a best man with the big task on his hands, the destinations on this list practically do all the work for him.
More time to work on that speech.
One night should be reserved for the Marquee at The Cosmopolitan, the wildest, most overwhelming, over-stimulating and highest-grossing nightclub in Vegas since it opened in 2010.
Pure and Chateau follow close behind.
As for the best hotel, it’s hard to go wrong with the location used for “The Hangover.” Caesar’s Palace provides spectacular packages.
Then again, Prince Harry chose to party at the Wynn while he was in town, with controversial results.
More on CNN: World's best nightlife cities
Sites like vegashotspots and bachelorvegas provide “Hangover packages” that lay out everything from exotic car rentals to bottle service to gentlemen’s clubs.
For a more unusual experience than you'll get from a typical night of clubbing, Machine Guns Vegas provides a bachelor party package that begins with heavy artillery and ends at Sapphire, a 70,000-square-foot adult entertainment club.
Staples in the original Sin City include The Old Absinthe House, Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop (considered by many to be the oldest continually occupied bar in the United States) and Pat O’Brien’s, which purportedly serves more alcohol than any other bar in the world.
When you go out, bring what locals call a go-cup. It’s not just legal to transfer your alcoholic beverages into a non-glass receptacle when bar hopping -- it’s encouraged.
Formerly known as Hog Island, until it was bought by A&P Supermarket Heir Huntington Hartford in 1959, the island was rechristened by the billionaire businessman and reborn as bachelor heaven.
The recommended stay is the Atlantis, the megaresort that dominates the island. Or, more specifically, the Cove, an adults-only resort within the resort.
More on CNN: World's 50 best beach bars
The resort has all-night casinos, a multitude of bars and the Aura nightclub.
Daytime activities include the Cain ultra-pool (a 9,000-square-foot, adults-only pool with separate, elevated Infinity pools) and deep-sea fishing.
The Beer & Brewery walking tour includes trips to the Paulaner brewery, the Schneider Weiss Brauhuass and Hofbrauhaus.
Of the 200 biergartens (beer gardens) to choose from in the city, the oldest, and perhaps the best, is Beer Garden Augustiner Keller.
But while for some Bangkok still lumbers under the stigma of the soulless sleaze available at places like Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza or Patpong Road, in the past decade the Thai capital has developed a range and quality of nightlife rarely surpassed.
Key things to keep in mind Bangkok: you need a decent HQ, transport, team bonding and most importantly, a plan.
The city is big. Organization is critical. No man gets left behind.
The perfect HQ is any of the massive suites available at most of the good hotels.
Lebua’s three-bedroom Hangover Suite serves the perfect opening and closing salvo in a night to remember. Created in honor of “The Hangover Part II,” in which key scenes were filmed at the hotel, the suite is full of bachelor party essentials such as a foosball table, ping pong table and fully stocked bar. (Lebua, State Tower, 1055 Silom Road, Bangkok; +66 02 624 9999; Hangover Suite from $1,000 per night)
With the team gathered and refreshed, it's time to bond.
Renting a van for your Bangkok bachelor party is a must. Your hotel can help.
Day options include go-carting, golf or even fishing.
The best option for the latter is Bungsamran Fishing Park, where staff bring drinks and food, will bait your line and even pull in the fish for you. Sounds easy, but the catches are massive and a lot of hard work.
The evening knows few bounds.
If you want to hop between a wide range of bars, Sukhumvit soi 11 (BTS: Nana station) is one of the best Bangkok strips to hit.
There’s apothecary-themed Apoteka to start the night, nightclub mainstay Q Bar -- which has its own separate absinthe bar out back called Le Derriere -– and newcomer Levels, which features house-heavy DJs every night.
For more Bangkok nightlife options, CNN’s list of the best new bars to hit Bangkok in recent months has you covered.
