I'm currently in the midst of finishing up packing (I'm bringing waaay too much stuff, what else is new), and I thought I'd take the time to stop and consider a few of the small things that I find pretty essential to traveling. I'll stash the above things in my carry-on:
• Neutrogena Ultra-Sheer Sunscreen (the only sunscreen I can stand on my face, and yep I checked, it's exactly 3oz., back off TSA...)
• A beat-up paperback, preferably recommended by a friend
• Plain Moleskine pocket journals
• Facial wipes (I like the above brand because they are both alcohol and oil free, meaning they wont dry out your skin or leave a nasty residue.)
• Little wee iPod
• Nivea Creme (I think most of the reason I love this lotion so much is specifically because it comes in a little blue tin.)
• Strawberry Orbit (later airplane breath!)
So tell me, what are some of your travel necessities?
