I have this OCD desire to have and maintain a travel pack that is ready in the event that I decide to go backpacking across North America or some other ludicruous idea. It’s especially dumb because I don’t travel that much, and let’s say on the off chance that I do have to go traveling for work, I wouldn’t be able to bring my back pack (since I’d have to bring my laptop backpack). Anyways in order to quell my desire, here’s my hastily brainstormed list of stuff that I keep packed:

• Toiletries bag (including soap and shampoo)
• Pen + paper for notes
• Headphones for planes
• Slippers + PJs
• LED Flashlight
• USB key that doubles as SD card adapter (with an extra 2GB card)
• Hand sanitizer & Kleenex
• Loyalty program numbers (airlines, hotels)
• Documentation for expensive items (laptop, camera equipment)

I also have stuff sitting around that could be included in my pack:

• Laptop (need to buy a foam case at MEC)
• Camera equipment (+ bubblewrap for extra lenses)
• DS Lite, sock, and multi-voltage travel adapter
