Your family no longer wants your J toiletries bag or has a need for it. Kids pencil cases are sorted for years.

I can really relate to this one. Daughter was so excited to receive the first Kate Spade bag but now says " no more mum" lol

But now they've changed the design. I always find a use for them.

When you hit home on your sat Nav it takes you to the airport

You have stacks of currency from multiple countries in plastic bags sorted by type.

I have extra coins sorted into ziplock bags by currency as well. They stay together in a larger ziplock bag in my backpack.
Had a TSA screener pull my bag for a hand search during my last trip and question why I had so many coins sorted in such a way.

Coins - unless it's Singapore I give them away. Singapore still thrives on coins for the subway system.

Maybe you could use your coins to get a prepaid card next time.

Also Argentina, coins are like GOLD....best used for public transport also.

Many times I've had my change in a store given to me in Notes,...along with a couple of Sweets, or pharmacuticals such as Panadol or Voltaren type products.

Coins are incredibly scarce , the public tranport services have a monopoly on coins.....No coins for your fare, either walk or accet No Change for the difference.

It's quite a lot cheaper with an EZ-Link card. Definitely worth the investment.

And with foreign currencies, I have a whole drawer for it - arranged by the location on the world map.

I have a few of both designs and male ones too. I usually put one on each pillow when we have guests staying. They go down a treat

Male not make

Continuing in the currency vein:

... you go away for a week and have to take six currencies.

That's a lot. Credit card maybe? Away for just over 3 weeks in July and theoretically 7.

Your 10 year passport is filled with nearly 5 years to go. And they haven't even been stamping it in Australia (and some other countries) ...

I use the Citi debit card a lot, but I like to have cash for those purchases that need it.

I am talking to you Japan!

Seriously? Why fly direct? I would expect any FF to have 4 currencies in their pocket as a minimum - local, main country going to, and 2 transit countries.

On my current 2 weeks in China, I have bought NZD (because I had surplus to exchange in CMB & any others I need), AUD - departed and return to Australia - then SIN, CMB, DXB, and RMB (PVG) - so that makes 6 currencies + I have my USD stash as well incase I really need that for some reason = 7.

Prefer to pay in cash through airports for a bite etc than using cards. Sri Lanka don't take cards in all places, and hotel on return doesn't take cards. Cash is king in China also.

Oops, forgot the AUD, so I guess that is seven. :shock:

You have favourite seats in several lounges around the world.
