 | Zune 120 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)
Buy new: $449.99 / Used from: $189.00 If you're like me, youll NEED music for survival. Take your pick out of all the MP3 players out there.
I own an 80G Zune and a 120G iPod, they're both awesome players, but I prefer the Zune software to the iTunes BS.
Make sure you download all the software and updates before you take it around the world.

 | Sony Walkman NWZS545BLK 16 GB Video MP3 Player (Black)
Buy used from: $129.99 This is a little bit cheaper than Zune or iPod, and from reading many reviews comparing the 3 mentioned brands, Sony is the dominant force when it comes to sound. So, for a durable travel item, this may be a better choice.
Save the Zune HD and the iPod touch for a welcome home gift to yourself.
