"A quick reminder of one or two items you may have forgotten?
Toothpaste, Marmite, typed, signed,  single page 'In Case of my...' note  (pre-stamped), Swiss army knife, waterless soap, small polythene bags if you're miles from the dry cleaners, LBD + killer heels (for that Embassy evening), folding umbrella, set of Scrabble, several wine miniatures, (pinch from airline), packet of OXO cubes, ditto Earl Grey/Yorkshire tea, steam iron, Abbot of Ampleforth's emergency tel number, two coat hangers, floaty dress, anti-mozzie thing, 1 ltr kaolin/morphine, back-up lippies of choice, collectors' collection of Mallory Towers (Kindle), hair-dryer, Longchamp sleeping mat,  ahem - loo paper, and perhaps another?, Chanel No.5,  fake tan (if you come back early), Smytheson notebook for musings, Louis Vuitton folding shower, seven 3x4 cards in relevant languages: "No, I'm not gay, but I'd prefer to sit by myself, thanks."

You ought to be able to get most of that into your shoulder bag?

Very useful James FG.  Thank you!

Leaving for Cambodia at the end of the month so setting up another blog for friends and family.  Now beginning to make plans, find a good insect repellant and get necessary jabs.
