I have one pocket of my carry on suitcase filled with useful stuff that I never unpack. It’s made doing last minute weekend trips so much easier when all I’m worrying about is what clothes, shoes, and seasonally appropriate items I need. So what’s in there?

I’d almost forgotten, so this weekend I pulled it out to take inventory of what needed to be added or replaced:

• Travel size packets of
  –Immodium
  –Pepto Bismol
  –Tylenol Cold & Sinus
  –Advil
  –Allergy pill
• TSA allowed wine opener
• Bandaids and Heel Blister Cushions
• Yoga Toes
• Travel toothbrush
• Color printout of my passport
• Razor
• Air activated heating patch (not sure why I put that in and will probably take it out…)

In my laptop case (which I travel with 99% of the time) I always keep:

• Headphones
• Motion sickness bands
• Disinfectant wipes
• Screen-cleaner wipes
• Refreshing towelettes

I was surprised at having these “go-to” items always available has cut down on minor annoyances like having a headache or the sniffles, and saved me money and time when I’m not having to hunt down a drugstore on a short trip or late at night.

What do you keep packed in your travel bags?
