Water-shoes
- You are required to wear water-shoes when entering the kineret and Eilat or
any hike that has water in it. You can buy a cheap pair or go for a hybrid that
you can also hike with, then you dont need to carry two pairs with you.
Luggage:
Remember, you need to keep the weight under 50 pounds. These duffels are good
because they can collapse when you don't need them. The Sigma is probably more
robust.
Overweight luggage will cost you a fortune, the luggage scale might just help.
Laundry:
Cameras, The Panasonic Lumix cameras are the best deals
right now and the
Panasonic Lumix Rugged/Waterproof Digital
Camera is great for hiking and swimming.
Waterproof cases.
To keep your electronics and phone dry during water hikes.
Underwater camera adapters.
Accessories
Sunscreen (Spray on), Cosmetic bag, mini travel sewing kit. Combination locks
can come in handy for closets and suitcases.

If you want to use your electronic devices operated with a rechargeable battery
(such as your iPhone, cell phone, ipod, ipad, laptop PC, digital camera) in
another country like Israel, where the household power supply is at 220/240V, you don't need
to bother, because nearly all these electronic products are designed today to be
completed with a battery charger suitable for a voltage range from 100V to 240V,
in other words, people carry these electronic items and travel around in the
world so these items should work properly anywhere at any level of voltage.
Whatever you have and wish to use in a foreign country, just carefully check the
marking on the battery charger about the voltage rating ... if the voltage
rating is printed or embossed as "100-240V", then don't worry, simply connect
the power plug to a socket to charge the battery after you get to the
destination. I also brought with me two laptop PC's, a cell phone and an SRL
digital camera from China (at 220/240V) and have been using them here in the
U.S. (at 110V) for almost half a year ... everything is okay as perfectly as
they worked in China, because the battery chargers can work at any voltage from
100V to 240V.
However, if you want to use an ELECTRICAL item operated under alternating
current (like a hair dryer, steam iron), you will need such a convertor, so that
your electrical item for 110V can be used at a foreign voltage 220/240V. If you
don't, your electrical item will get burned from a voltage break-through. Some
products sold in the U.S. are completed with a rechargeable battery (electrical
toothbrushes, for example), but the voltage rating of the battery charger is
subject to 110V, meaning that the battery can be charged at 110V only in the
U.S.. So if you need to use such an electrical item outside the U.S., you should
also ask for such a convertor.
Do not buy cheap converters even if they say for high wattage or voltage. You
will break your device and will cause a power outage in the building!

This adaptor plug modifies electrical outlet, does not change the voltage!
