3. Lots of undies... I hate having to send through undies to Hotel dry cleaning, I just find it creepy.

Dry cleaning?

On a serious note I hate the way these rogueing thieving hotel chains charge you an arm and a leg for laundry services.

I am in Beijing / Shanghai 50+ nightys a year - I can go to the markets there and buy new shirts for RMB30 to 50ea (A$5 to 8ea) - hotels usually charge about RMB50 (A$8) / shirt for laundry - riddle me that one Batman.

The answer there is simple, buy a new shirt, wear it once, throw it out ... If it's a really nice shirt consider taking a plastic bag and taking it back home to wash there. (Which is what I usually do, on a side note I'd hate to be a Customs \ AQIS guy going through my bags on arrival :shock

Yes that is the MO - 3 weeks ago I bout 6 pairs pants - 30 shirts - and a new suit case to carry them.

Kept 15 shirts - gave 10 away to friends - 5 or 6 went straight to Salvo shop on Cruiserettes orders - but at $5 ea it aint no biggie.

One of the few times my partner and I got undies washed at a hotel, after about 30 mins after collection a woman appeared at the room door holding up some of our [unwashed] undies and she said "these have holes already - we didnt make the holes"... I was speechless. At least they were sexy undies - give or take a hole or three

Did you not die on the spot?? I know I would have.
Another off topic Q... Your partner wears undies?? I thought undies were for boys.

But to answer the OP's (your) question.... there are only 3 things you could ever need.

Tickets, money, passports!!

1 Passport
2 QC3's
3 iPhone
4 iPad

 

[Must...Fly!]

contact lenses are usually my most important, non-essential item

 

[LiamR]

My iPhone.

It's the one thing I get get/do everything on and it's never more than 1/2 a meter away from me.

Following that, I never leave home without my Keys, Wallet, Pen, Earphones and or course iPhone.

If I take my messenger bag it'll have my MacBook Air in it, pens, a little notebook, charger and iPhone cable.
