There are few things more frustrating than turning up at a destination for a few days and realising you have forgotten one of the key things you wanted to use or enjoy while away. It’s too late to go back and fetch it, and even if a replacement is available at your location, there’s the cost to consider, and you don’t really want two of whatever it is when you finally get back home.
