One Or Two Weeks Before I Travel Overseas, I Make A Packing List And Check Items Off As They Go In My Suitcase. In Addition To The Packing List, I Also Have My Electronics List.With All Of The Gadgets And Gizmos, Wires And Cables, I Need A List To Make Sure That I Have Everything. It Is No Fun To Arrive In A Foreign Country And Not Be Able To Use Your Laptop Or Camera.First And Foremost, I Check My Laptop. I Want To Make Sure That I Have Everything. So, I Check To Make Sure That I Have My Power Supply And Spare Battery. I Also Have A USB Device That Converts One Port Into Four. I Prefer To Use A Mouse, So I Pack That Too. I Bring A LAN Cable In Case There Is No Wireless Available In The Hotel.I Already Have A Power Strip That Will Accept 3-prong Electrical Plugs. This Is An Absolute Must As A 3-prong Plug Will Not Work In Most Thailand Electrical Outlets.Next Thing I Do Is Charge Up My Camera Batteries. I Like To Take Pictures Of My Entire Holiday To Include The Departing Airport, Layover And Arrival. I Also Ensure That I Have My Memory Card And My Spares. I Also Have A USB Device For My Memory Card So That I Can Transfer Pictures To My Laptop. I Check The Memory Card And Delete Or Transfer Any Pictures On The Card. I Like To Start My Vacation With Empty Memory Cards.I Have A Tri-band, GSM Cell Phone That Works In Thailand With A Local SIM Card. So, I Make Sure That The Battery And Back-up Are Both Charged So That I Can Use My Thai Cell Phone As Soon As I Hit The Ground In Bangkok.Next, I Check My Portable DVD Player. I Make Sure That I Have My Power Cord And Also My DIN Jacks For The TV To DVD Connection. I Charge The Battery And Make Sure That I Have The Small Remote Control And That The Battery Is Operational.Packing Up All The Charger Cables And Wires On The Very Top Of My Suitcase Makes For Easy Finding When I Arrive.I Also Have Some Minor Electronics. I Have Sound Reducing Headphones That I Pack In My Carry-on. No Real Electronics, But I Do Make Sure That I Have 4 AAA Batteries. That Way I Have 2 To Use And 2 Spares.Checking Your Electronic Devices Before You Go, Charging All Of Your Batteries, And Packing All The Cables And Wires, Will Make Your Vacation Go Electronically Smooth.
