The most important rule of travel is to always pack an extra set of clothes for the night you arrive. You’ll feel like shit, and a quick shower and new clothes will make you feel amazing.
@danielpunkass This is great advice if you arrive in the morning, but for long flights I usually prefer saving the clean clothes for the trip home. I’m already tired and not looking forward to it; fresh clothes make me feel better going in (or during a layover for spectacularly long routes).
@danielpunkass I have so many most important rules: honeypot.net/2023/01/1...
High in the rankings is to bring clips to keep the hotel curtains pulled closed because they rarely want to stay that way on their own.
