Every time I travel I think “I should make a packing list…” and yet I don’t have an account on one of those list-making sites and don’t want one. So, for my posterity, here is my packing list for future reference. This time around — trip to Clearwater, Kansas and Denver Colorado — all I forgot were my headphones. Not bad. This is presuming a work trip; for pleasure trips I don’t really care what I remember and forget. At some point I’ll put this all on an index card.<\/p>\n
Clothes & etc (backpack)
\n– one nice outfit per talk
\n– one knock-around outfit for every two leisure days (wear same outfit to\/from home incl. heaviest sweater\/jacket)
\n– one extra pair of socks\/underwear\/t-shirt\/hoodie
\n– pajamas, tops & bottoms
\n– belt
\n– cold weather? hat, scarf, gloves
\n– swimsuit (always forgotten when I need it)
\n– jewelry
\n– laptop & sleeve<\/p>\n
Toiletries bag
\n– benadryl
\n– melatonin
\n– toothbrush\/toothpaste\/floss
\n– moisturizer
\n– just in case: theraflu\/dramamine\/ibuprofen\/acetominophen
\n– matches\/smokes
\n– earplugs
\n– hair tie
\n– warm weather? razor<\/p>\n
Tech bag
\n– dongles for video\/ethernet
\n– cord for laptop
\n– EVDO card
\n– camera & charger & card reader
\n– cell phone & charger
\n– slide-show clicker

Also
\n– wallet w\/ relevant transit passes\/frequent flyer cards

\n– pens
\n– folder for receipts
\n– power bar for plane
\n– velcro tie-down
\n– little flashlight
\n– safety pin
\n– something to read & spare something to read<\/p>\n
Amusingly, money is rarely something I need to bring with me. I think I spent maybe seventeen dollars in the past five days that wasn’t paid for with plastic. With ATMs everyplace, this is less important than, say, a safety pin which is actually damned hard to replace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every time I travel I think “I should make a packing list…” and yet I don’t have an account on one of those list-making sites and don’t want one.
