Anthony's top travel gadgets

Hi everyone, Anthony here.

Although the British summer has been a bit of a wash-out, some of you lucky people will still be jetting off into the sunshine.

When I travel I always take Bose noise cancelling headphones - plane journeys are so much more pleasant when you don't have the deafening drone of the engines.

A TomTom Sat Nav is a MUST for driving abroad - I normally pre-programme in the places I want to visit so I can simply plug it into the hire car and get going as soon as I arrive. It's never fun getting lost in a foreign country when you don’t know the roads or worse still, the language!

Another great travel gadget is an Archos multimedia centre. I have the 605 Wi-Fi and it's loaded with comedy programmes to make journeys go quicker. I can also use the internet while I'm away as it has Wi-Fi. Great when you're bored or need to check your emails!

I never really take digital cameras with me, I'll only take one if I'm working really.

What are your travel gadget essentials? Let me know by leaving a comment!

Claudia Sylvester chats about her summer holidays

Hello! Hope you're enjoying the summer!

This is a pic of my daughter Bella and I on holiday in Cyprus recently. We had such a lovely time.

Before the holiday
I love going on family holidays. Before I go I always get a spray tan at my local salon so I'm not too pale. That way I'm not tempted to sunbathe, not that I get much chance with three active children! I'm always on the move - swimming, chasing them along the beach, going on treasure hunts.

Jilly's summer fashion tips

Hi everyone!

I love summer holidays but sometimes choosing the right things to wear can be a bit of a dilemma! Here's my advice on how to dress for the warmer months...

My summer essentials
When I go on holiday I have to have a really good pair of large sunglasses! Not only do they make a fashion statement but they protect the delicate skin around the eyes. My Crocs are also an essential - quite chunky footwear I know - but they're so handy for travelling and you can't ruin them in the sea.

I always pack a couple of long sarongs - when I'm away I wear them from breakfast until dinner! I always buy plain block colour sarongs as they are much more versatile than the printed ones.
