TRAVEL

Travel Destinations:

Fully charged phone: Not only because you might be stuck with a delayed flight and need that tablet, laptop or phone fully charged, but you might also will be asked to power on a phone or electronic device (laptop, tablet, smartphone), if you can’t it is flagged as suspicious and you will have problems.
Clothing: Wear the same clothes on to the plane as you will on your return trip. Rolled clothes will not only wrinkle less, this is a great way to compress and squeeze out the air so you will have more room in your luggage.
Essentials: Personal Item such as medication, laptop, clean underwear, shirt, socks, iPhone charger
Companion Travelers: Don’t pack things twice. If your travel mate has an electric toothbrush, you don’t need two power handles, just one, you can bring your own brush head, same with toothpaste, etc.
Photocopy: ALL vital documentation, including passport. If nothing else, have it in a cloud so you can access it.
Medicine: even if you are not on prescription medicine, you never know when you will need aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamins, etc. Carry a small assortment of must-have remedies should you ever need them.
Water: the moment I get off the plane I go and buy the largest size of water I can, typically a liter or a gallon. If I buy it in the hotel I could pay $5 for a bottle I won’t even be able to swallow pills or re-hydrate with.
