Bring Basic First Aid

Some things happen when traveling that can make life unpleasant. For example, I get nosebleeds and headaches at about the worst time.

Do you want to have to play through the pain of a headache or a little sunburn when you have a 26 hour travel day ahead of you, with no chance to get out of airports and into a pharmacy? Me either. Thus, some painkillers, bandaids, and facial tissues go into my carry-on, or even in jacket pockets as soon as I’m through security.
