(Or even cheaper - a pocket size pack of tissues.) Is there anything that doesn't come in travel size now?

The Gorillapod was one of those things that I bought, used twice, then sold. It's junk. And forget the mini Maglite - get a Fenix flashlight. Maglites are puny and weak compared to the blinding power of a Fenix. Do what I do – wrap a yard of duct tape around a “borrowed” hotel pen and use that.

From holding the drapes shut so I could sleep in an east-facing room, to closing down the air vent in a room with no atmospheric controls. As for the 3G card, I'm very happy with my Moto Q9h as a tethered 3G modem and it's one less thing to pack and care for.
