Top ten things not to forget on a trip

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Two of the top things on my list are a watch and a headlamp or small flashlight.

I've missed an international flight before thanks to a faulty alarm in the room and the front desk forgetting to provide the requested wake-up call, and since I don't feel I can always rely on my cell phone, the watch is a must. I never wear it at home, only on the road.

The headlamp/flashlight (I often pack both) are usually more necessary in some of the more out-of-the-way places I travel, but something like that can come in handy even if you're just stumbling around in the dark in a hostel in Europe.
