travel kit

What is the one thing you always have in your travel kit for a "just in case" situation. Not just toothpaste and shampoo, but some oddball item most people would never think of. My brothers says it's earplugs. Hints from Heloise says clothespins.

Some things I carry: Benadryl, in case of allergic reaction or just can't sleep; antibacterial wet ones, Motrin or Tylenol, extra pair of contacts, small sewing kit, bandaids, neosporin, Cortaid, to treat bug bites.

Soothing eyedrops. Helps with sleepless red eyes, air pollution and cigarette smoke. Always makes me feel better.

Earplugs are ALWAYS in my travel kit!

I also take a plug-in night-light -- too many stubbed toes from trying to navigate unfamiliar hotel rooms, cruise ship cabins in the dark.

A small sewing kit and a travel alarm (I often find the alarm sound of hotel clock-radio's to be noxious and don't trust wake-up calls).

Change! I never seem to have it when I'm traveling, and I always need some for a newspaper, or those stupid places where you have to pay to use the restroom, or parking if I have a rental car.

I live in New England, but have college student in Louisianna and elders in the Southwest. I keep (and have used) a last-minuted travel bag. Many of the items I pack are already listed, but I also keep a phone card handy, with contact numbers attached.

Twist-ties (makes it a little harder for those baggage handlers to get into my suitcase), clippers (for hangnails and getting the twist-ties off), and a flashlight in case of emergency.
