Even though the goal of a honeymoon is to unplug and unwind as much as possible, that doesn’t mean you should leave all your tech gear at home. After all, you’ll want to capture pictures, listen to some tunes, or flip through a book on the beach! Whether it’s helping you enjoy every moment of your getaway or making those hours at the airport a little easier to handle, here are 5 tech items you won’t want to head on your honeymoon without.
Noise-Canceling Headphones
After all the excitement of your wedding weekend (and probably not very much sleep), being able to tune out the world and get some shut-eye on the plane is a great way to arrive a little more refreshed. The Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones take their tried-and-true technology to the next level, eliminating the wire in favor of a Bluetooth connection. They won’t get that kid behind you to stop kicking your seat, but it’s a start!
Waterproof Speakers
From a morning at the beach to an afternoon on a sunset cruise to an evening bubble bath, bring your tunes with you wherever you go. The Ultimate Ears UE Roll 2 is completely waterproof (so don’t worry if you run into the ocean with it in hand), but still provides the brand’s incomparable sound. Operate the speaker using an app on your phone, and tuck it into the included pool floatie if you’re ready to lounge in the water. Yes, this speaker comes with its own floatie.

Smartphone Battery Case
Don’t get caught without enough battery to snap those ancient ruins or capture the two of you at a romantic candlelit dinner. Instead, double your phone’s battery life with the iGlaze Ion Battery Case. The beauty of this design is that you’re not stuck lugging around an extra-large iPhone all day. Instead, slip on the charger when you need more juice, then pull it off and leave your phone protected in a slim, shock-absorbing case.
E-Reader
Instead of upgrading to a larger suitcase to fit your beach reads or guide books, downsize to a carry-on and slip the Kindle Paperwhite into your purse. Unlike a tablet, the screen reads just like paper, meaning you can pull it out at the beach without worrying about the glare. And with room for thousands of books, you’ll never be without something to read during those lazy honeymoon afternoons in the sun.
Luggage Tracker
Hopefully you won’t ever need to use a luggage tracker, but whether it’s a lost suitcase on an international flight or an over-crowded baggage area, tucking a device like The TrackR into your bag will give you instant peace of mind. From letting you know how far you are from your item to using crowd GPS and wifi to send you an exact location, you’ll never lose a bag again.
