What are Natasha Nicholes's favorite tools and gadgets for modern family travel?

From what I share on Houseful of Nicholes, you can probably tell I’m big on road tripping, urban farming, homeschooling, and cooking more than doing gear roundups. I haven’t published a clear “favorites” list of tools and gadgets specifically for modern family travel yet, so I don’t want to make things up for you.

I can, however, put together a thoughtful list of road‑trip tools and systems that actually fit how my family really travels (long car trips, kids, lots of learning and city exploration) if you tell me a bit about your crew and how you like to travel.

What kind of trips are you planning next—mostly road trips, flights, or local “tourist in your own city” adventures?
