Hand carry essentials

At the time this post goes live, we’re not on the ground.

1. Passports - Mine and those travelling with me. Whenever we travel, one person has to hold all the passports to save time.

2. E-tickets and boarding passes - Another important piece of document that should not be missed. 33.33% of the trip depends on this! (the other 33.33% is the passport)

3. Wallet - the remaining 33.33%

4. Pen - to use when writing embarkation/disembarkation cards or simply to use with a paper to entertain the kiddo on board.

5. Organizer - with the trip itinerary planned out and written there.

6. Lip cream and hand lotion - cabin pressure and aircon dries my lips and skin.

7. Handkerchief - it will come handy with the babe around.

8. Pocket tissues - There’s nothing like going to the toilet to find out there are no tissues available.

9. House/car keys - Since I can’t leave them inside when I go out and lock the door behind me.

10. Eyeglasses - so I can recognize the people meeting me at the airport and of course the correct boarding gates!

11. Headache tablet - I never go out without Panadol.

12. Hand sanitizer - to lessen the chance of catching the stomach bug while travelling and on vacation.

13. Comb - Gotta fix the unruly hair ruffled by hours of contact with the plane seat to look presentable upon landing!

Anything else I should be putting in my small handbag?
