I gotta bring my Imodium, Toilet Paper. I've been to the cleanest city in the world (Singapore) as well as slums in Kenya and fallen ill in both. Can't escape that darn bug.

A version of an internet browser that allows you to store your favorites in the browser and accsess them from any computer with the internet.
That sounds great - I've been doing some digging and there are a whole load of apps like that, some Mozilla-y ones here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internetIm using Firefox Portable. Firefox can take a bit of time to get used to. I use the normal Firefox as my browser so im used to the layout. |

Two tupper ware boxes! I had put them all the way on the bottom of my backpack. I had one for my medical stuff and one for stuff I didn't want to break.. The good thing about it is: Your backpack never falls over! If they are the right size for your backpack. It will put all it's weight on the tupperware boxes.. ha! Nothing better than an uprighteous backpack!

As I'm a camera freak, packing light is rarely an option for me. Between a 35mm (just got a DSLR this week, though), point and shoot digital, the Horizon 202 panoramic camera, a Seaview underwater camera, the Lomo LCA, the Holga plastic camera, and one of those Polaroid toy cameras that takes little pictures on stickers (absolutely a must-have item, as it delights any kids and even some old timers you might meet along the way -- I probably went through two packs of film and had a dozen kids running wild around me at one time in Dominica) I'm pretty weighted down -- and that's my pared down list! Since many of the cameras I travel with are old Eastern European/Soviet things, they feel and weigh as if they were made from surplus army tank parts. And then there's the super8 movie cameras (2 of them -- a high quality German one, and a light, versatile old Canon). And all the film.
Luckily, much of my travel involves having a car, so I can pile stuff in and out. And if I'm in the US, forget it -- I pack an inflatable kayak, an 8" surfboard, a mountain bike, a cooler of beer, a tent, hammock, laptop with DVDs, sleeping bag, aerobed (same dimensions as the back of my jeep with seats folded down -- perfect!), a Sony MiniDisc for making field recordings and doing interviews, snorkel and diving equipment, spelunking gear -- basically any and every trip is treated as if I could do anything, anywhere, at any time. I once went to the grocery store six blocks away and ended up in Maine. Hell, I'm going to Kentucky in a couple weeks, and I'm bringing the surfboard. I intend to use it as a paddleboard on Lake Cumberland and paddle out to an island to camp.
This is partially because I'm unfocused and crazy, partly because I'm usually working on a magazine article to accompany the trip, and partly because fun can be had anywhere.
