‘What Makes Business Rock’ - a Travel Essential

I pretty much travel with the same things on every trip. I stopped taking fruit with me ever since I forgot I had an apple in my bag when we arrived in New Zealand back in 2006. I was fined $60 because I had failed to declare it. It was the most expensive apple I've ever bought -- sorry, that Richard ever bought. He was my hero but also the one who made fun of me the most about it!

Anyway, now my travel essentials are:

- Note pad and pen

- Cardigan and pashmina for any change in weather.

- A second purse to hold foreign coins

- IPad -- great for browsing newspapers and twitter feeds, storing photos.

- A book. I still haven't fallen in love with e-books. I'm currently reading What Makes Business Rocks by Bill Roedy.
