| Hotel Wellness Billed by vendor Brookstone as a “sound therapy machine,” the Tranquil Moments alarm clock helps business travellers who have trouble unwinding in hotel rooms. $113 |
Healthy Company Medisys Health Group, a Montreal Company with an office in Calgary, tailors travel health packages according to destination. www.medisys.ca Cost varies, starting at $40 |
Wrist Saver Using your laptop on an airline tray can set your wrists up for aches later on. Change it up and perch a portable laptop desk, such as Brookstone’s e-pad, on your lap to help you get a range of motion. $30 |
A Pillow of One’s Own
|
If the thought of propping your Crenshaw on the same germy headrest that has cocooned countless other heads gives you the willies, you aren’t alone. And those things are darned uncomfortable, too. Opt instead for your own ergonomically correct ObusForme travel headrest pillow. Pick one up at Sears. |

Silken Dreams

Pack one if you can’t abide stiff hotel sheets. Shambles Gift Shoppe in Edmonton stocks a number of DreamSack travel products, including the popular Airplane Comfort Set ($75), and can order others.
