We love a little spontaneity, but sometimes it’s good to plan for those bumps in the road: Dead cell phones, Wi-Fi wastelands, hotels without gyms (le gasp!). And while you may always remember to pack your toothbrush and extra undies, there are also a few items you might not even realize you should bring.

Get ahead of the curve with a carry-on full of nifty travel gear and enjoy the gratification of watching your less-prepared travel companions struggle. Who’s neurotic now, guys?
