What to pack in a carry on - ten things Gadling readers actually use

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

Laptop (hoping to get a lighter weight one)
Camera, lenses, etc. (have had too many cords not arrive in my checked bags)
Money
A piece of clothing
Medication
Jewelry not expensive kind
Book
Very small clutch bag for $$$, passport & passes
I switched to a Computer bag after gate attendant said my small carry on did not comply and it needed to be specifically a "computer bag". Mind you, this bag was holding my computer and I had no purse. So now it is difficult to fit this in my "Lady Computer Bag" (I do). I know it is a lot, but I hate replacing a cord or card reader when abroad.
I would like to whittle it down because is heavy, but until then I will persevere.
