October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and at this time you may start to notice an abundance of pink products. Many companies sell pink versions of their best sellers and donate a percentage of the profits to the Breast Cancer Research foundation. As far as travel goes, you can buy any number of handy gadgets in pink – laptops for carting your work around with you, pink USB drives for holding your business documents, pink mp3 and video players to listen to music and watch movies while you travel, and so on.

But did you know you can help Breast Cancer research by flying – on a pink plane? Delta Airlines has a Pink Plane, a Boeing 757 in pink and white. It flies year-round which allows it to raise funding and awareness 365 days a year, but as a bonus, in October it sells pink lemonade on board all flights for $2 – and 100% of the proceeds go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

On top of that, right now they will donate 250 air miles to the foundation for every flight booked or checked in online at delta.com unti October 31st.

Fly high and help find a cure for Breast Cancer.

In no particular order:

1. 
   The Olympus Stylys 7750 waterproof camera – Because I’m of the firm belief that you can never have too many cameras.
2. 
   The iPod as a travel aide – because I fully confess that as a Canadian, I am REALLY JEALOUS that I can’t have an iPhone yet. Ppplllbbbtttt to you Americans with your cool phone!
3. 
   The Avis portable WiFi with car rental deal – If you’re traveling, why not bring your Wi-Fi wherever you go?
4. 
   The Vortex hand-powered blender – Nothing makes camping more civilized than sipping margaritas by the fire!
5. 
   The extremely portable and collapsible bike – Takes up very little precious space and lets you pedal around anywhere.
6. 
   The Two-way language communicator – the translation gadget that makes me think of Star Trek (that’s a good thing).
7. 
   MizPee’s toilet locater – as someone who needs to pee at every gas station on a road trip, this is possibly one of my favorite travel sites ever!
8. 
   Keeping up to date on airline meals – the good, the bad, and the ugly in airline food.
9. Tourist Remover – Finally get that picture of tourist attractions WITHOUT all the tourists cluttering up your shot!
10. 
    Use a t-shirt to find W-Fi in your area – Possibly the best t-shirt ever created, and YES I would wear it!
