This week’s Flickr meme is to list 12 things that you would put in your travel suitcase; 12 things you’d never travel without! Having excluded the obvious (like clean underwear) here’s my list:

1. I never leave home without a camera (if only my tiny Fuji)
2. Mobile Phone (or two if I’m travelling for work or on call)
3. Laptop
4. Breathing Apparatus (otherwise known as my CPAP machine)
5. Moleskine Notebook & Pen
6. Dirty Water (aka Diet Coke)
7. My pretty coloured pills (at least 5 varieties currently required)
8. Passport (unless I know I’m staying in the UK and won’t be getting on a plane anywhere)
9. Waterproof (if only a light nylon one)
10. Swiss Army Knife (you never know when you’ll have to remove boy scouts from lions’ paws)
11. Window Cleaner (for my glasses)
12. Reading matter (if only a couple of magazines)

As always the photographs are not mine so please click on individual links below to see each artist/photostream. This mosaic is for a group called My Meme, where each week there is a different theme and normally 12 questions to send you out on a hunt to discover photos to fit your meme. It gives you a chance to see and admire other great photographers’ work out there on Flickr.
