This is where I primarily outfitted myself in preparation for spending several months in Southern Africa shooting a movie. Though they also have an excellent catalog and outstanding website, I highly recommend a trip to the store (there's one in Santa Barbara too) to try out all the fun and innovative products first-hand. These guys have the best buyers--all their products are top quality, from their well-designed luggage to their fashionable and functional travel clothing. Need disposable underwear? This is your store. They also have every international electrical and phone adapter you could imagine, and many well-designed gadgets which combine several adapters into one. Travel pillows, travel clocks, tiny lights, compasses, travel games. I always have a great time shopping there and discovering new clever products. Attentive helpful service and fair prices. www.magellans.com
