Don't Travel without These Five Essential Items
Toothbrush--check. Phone charger--check. Duct tape--duct tape? If you're taking a trip, that's one of the items you should be sure to pack. So says Lifehack.org, which compiled a list of five travel essentials. Here's the full skinny on the tape trick:

Use this for instant lint brushing, hacking curtains shut to better darken the room, hanging signs, taping down your laptop cord at a conference, mending damaged luggage, and about 3,149 other applications.The author also recommends bringing baby wipes (for cleaning up those inevitable coffee spills), energy bars (for a healthy snack during those inevitable flight delays), and a power strip (for those ill-equipped hotel rooms).
