The DoubleUp will come in handy in power-plug-challenged hotel rooms. Kanex

Got any summer trips planned? This week's prize would like to join you. We're giving away a package of travel-friendly gear from Kanex, maker of connectivity products for Apple gadgets.

Here's what the winner gets:

  • A DualRole, which adds to your laptop three USB 3.0 ports and a connection to a secure wired network using gigabit ethernet.
  • A mySpot travel-size wireless access point that lets you set up your own private, secure Wi-Fi network.
  • A DoubleUp dual USB wall charger that lets you power two mobile devices at once.
  • A Travel Bud set of compact international travel plugs that give you adapter capabilities in more than 180 countries.
  • An AirBlue portable wireless Bluetooth receiver that lets you play music from your mobile device through your car audio system.
  • A free round-trip ticket to the destination of your choice (not really; just checking to make sure you're reading!).

Normally, this pack of travel gear would run you $245, but you have a chance to get the whole lot of it for free. How? There are a few rules, so please put down that sunscreen and beach umbrella for a moment and read carefully.

Is that a mySpot wireless access point in your pocket or are you just happy to be on vacation? Kanex
