Thanks for the list Hocndoc! There were things on the list I hadn't thought about taking.
I use to travel for business, but with my new job, I haven't travelled for a couple of years. I try to travel as lightly as possible. I visited the USSR in the late eighties, and my luggage was lost. I learned that the essentials one must have is a passport, driver's license, and money. You can get by, I did it for 8 days with one outfit. That said, I don't want to take a cruise that way. :) I will check two bags, with clothes and other essentials divided between the two bags. I'll throw a change of clothes in my computer bag and carry that on board. The airlines can lose one bag, but odds are they won't lose both.
