Bring this
Pack light. Most units have limited storage and everything gets searched.
Leave at home
These are taken at the door almost everywhere. Save yourself the loss.
Ask on day one
Write the answers down. It is hard to hold onto details in there.
Handle before you go, if there is time
Not always possible. Do what you can.
