basic item such as shampoo or a comb; you can always pick it up at your<br />
destination. That said, this checklist covers the items you absolutely, positively<br />
shouldn’t forget—and make sure you carry these things in your<br />
carry-on bag. A prescription or passport lost in checked luggage could<br />
spell disaster.<br />
