Do you have anything you must take

LIke others here I seem to need a lot of chargers - phone and charger, laptop and lead, kindle and charger, battery charger for camera, lead to download photos to laptop and a small tens machine as my back gets sore if I do a lot of walking! Lots of wires!

Kindle and phone - charger for both and, of course, universal adapter.

In this country in particular, I take ground coffee and my two mugs which are insulated and have a cafetiere type plunger - I cannot abide instant coffee! Different in the States because there is usually a coffee maker in the rooms.

iPad, iPod, Kindle and chargers have to go everywhere too. and my hot air brush. I also like to take Theseus with me!

Meds, makeup, toiletries and phone/charger are of course essential

I have to have my own hairdryer which has a diffuser attachment. It's been all over the world with me.

Laptop, mobile and charger, blood pressure pills.
I went to a Red Sea resort with Juragran last summer and she had the forethought to bring a tiny kettle as the hotel did not provide tea/coffee making facilities. I asked the bar for a glass of milk and we had plenty of teabags with us. I have to have my early morning cuppa!
The only things I carry in my hand luggage are my laptop , mobile and face mask, as it was made to my own prescription and it would ruin my snorkeling holiday if it went missing.
I do take a chance and put my spare pair of glasses in my suitcase, along with my fins and my camera.
My mantra used to be 'Passport, money, tickets' on the basis that everything else could be replaced at your destination, but that has changed and most of my flights don't have any tickets.

My sister could not travel without her makeup - fortunately, I don't have that problem. She used to bring heavy heated rollers with her on holiday, but now she just needs an electric wand as she wears her hair up in a chignon.
