Since I’m on the road a lot, usually four days out of seven, it has become even more important to make my life easier on the road and stay connected at home.

There are three things that I recommend if you are on the road, whether a pilot or some other road warrior type, that will make you life a bit easier and keep you in touch.

Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks

First, I recommend the Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks.

Small, sleek, battery powered, with a USB wireless adapter which means no more cord.  It takes up less space in your bag, can be used on the airplane during those long commutes, and fits comfortably in hand.

I loved this thing so much that I bought the larger version for my home. The fact that it is wireless was a huge bonus because now I didn’t have to worry about the cables. It is awesome!

Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset

Second, I highly recommend that you get the Logitech ClearChat Comfort USB Headset. Using this headset you can make free calls over your preferred network such as: Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, or Logitech VideoCall. Did I mention free? Personally, Skype is my choice. They were the original and still leader in voice over Internet calling.

Now imagine…you are in Canada (like me) and you want to call the USA or you are in Germany and you want to call home. All you have to do is use your computer, login to one of the above providers and make a free call to your computer at home. You don’t pay a thing. And believe it or not, most times the quality is 100% better than you would get on a cell phone or land line. And recently, a lot of these companies have added the ability to call cell phones or landlines for a reasonable charge. Very cool!

Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks

Finally, go get yourself the Logitech QuickCam Deluxe for Notebooks. In this little contraption, you have the ability to web cam over whatever network you prefer. Most the companies listed above provide video service as well.

With this capability, you can view people who have a web camera  or at the very least they can view you. Imagine again, your kid being able to see over the computer while you are on a trip. Priceless! And if you can see them, even more priceless!

Now there are a lot of mouses, headsets, and video cams out there but personally I like Logitech. I’ve own several of there products and have never been disappointed. They also have the best prices, too.

So there you have it. Three cool accessories that pilots should not go without. When family is the most important thing in your life but you have to make a living, and you are going to make that living as a pilot, it pays huge dividends to stay connected and in touch with you family.

Stay connected and stay in-touch…

P.S. Now if all else fails, don’t spend a bundle on roaming charges. Get a calling card. You will find the Lowest Calling Cards available on the Web at ->CallingCards.com!
