A few years ago I started packing for business travel using a checklist, so that I at least had the option of considering all the things I should have packed, before actually departing.
I’ve posted the list in the sidebar of this blog and welcome suggestions and additions to it; there’s a fairly obvious geek bent to the whole thing, but that comes with the turf and probably reflects a lot of my readership… 🙂
Alec, at the top of my list is arrangements for the cats (who is feeding them?). Also, mail delivery arrangements. (No invitation to (cat) burglars with mail piling up).
yours is a bit different than mine:
1- ticket confirmation #
2- the clothes on my back
Hi Alec,
thanks for the list! I’m adapting it to my needs right now.
One new todo to add for the day before: Wipe stuff from laptop that you don’t want airport security to make copies of.
Cheers,
Constantin

Bet chew smell like a gen-u-wine Texan, after a little while…
List updated with input from Bob and Constantin
Day before checklist:
Check prescriptions and re-order if necessary
Packing (personal items / carry on):
prescription meds
(for U.S. travel) “goop bag” (1 quart, clear plastic bag for necessary fluids and gels to go through security)
And one thing I never, never, *never* leave home without:
3-4 pair of 31dB ear plugs (air plane baby neutralization device, noisy hotel neighbors, ice machines, elevators, nearby highways, etc).
