  1. Two international power adapters (for the region I am visiting) – One for my computer and one for backup
  2. Passport
  3. Travelers checks
  4. Two alarms – that jet lag gets me every time, and fault tolerance is ingrained into my head
  5. Protein bars – who knows where or when you will eat next
  6. Celebrity Magazines – After about 5 hours on a flight, reading technical material becomes difficult
  7. A power strip – conference rooms don’t seem to ever have enough outlets – also using the one power adapter will feed power for my colleagues and I
  8. Four port hub
  9. One small ethernet cable and one long ethernet cable – getting onto wireless networks is still far too difficult in most offices
  10. Tom tom maps for my windows mobile cell phone and bluetooth GPS – This comes in very handy because taxi drivers really have trouble with directions in most places I visit.
