Travel packing essentials

I wholeheartedly agree.

I may have regretted clothes, shoe, jewellry purchases but I have never had one about any of my travels. 

Even some of those trips I may not necessarily want to revisit literally and figuratively.

I am writing this completely jet-lagged in Bangkok.

My iPad isn't cutting it so am in the hotel lobby at 3 in the morning and let me tell you - you want to do some people watching and possible blackmailing, this is the place to be.  
Pity I don't know these people because I would have lots of rope.
Anyway…
