Here are The Traveling Professor's best picks for travel gifts for Dad.

Battle Archives Historical Battle Maps:  If there is any gift you can give Dad that he will love, this is it.  Get him an authentic reproduction map from the Revolutionary War, Normandy DDay Invasion, Civil War, WWI and WWII, Vietnam, Iraq, etc.  They also have historical documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.  Make sure to make a purchase now to get your map in time to have it framed for Father's Day.  When Dad opens this up, I guarantee his jaw will drop upon seeing this special gift.  He will hang this handsomely framed map on the wall in the TV room, office or library and talk about it for years to come.  

Trip to the Normandy Invasion Beaches: You know Dad will not go out and buy this on his own, so you need to get it for him.  He's ALWAYS wanted to do this and this is your opportunity to give him this great gift.  It's another gift he will be talking about for years to come.

Cole Hahn Sneakers:  The Traveling Professor loves these walking shoes.  Comfortable and stylish.

Leather Passport Holder:  The Traveling Professor received this as a Father's Day gift over 10 years ago and still uses it on every international trip he goes on.  It's a great idea, not that expensive, and one that will certainly get a lot of use.

MotherLode Rolling Suitcase: Here is another Father's Day gift The Professor received years ago and still uses today.  There are a lot of good things to say about the Motherlode Suitcase. First of all, it can be stowed in the overhead bin on the plane. It has plenty of space. It is durable.  It is smartly designed for easy access to what Dad needs most. Get this great gift!  It comes in a lot of colors and looks terrific.
