The security officer who scanned our bags at the airport did mutter, "They sell food abroad y'know..." Never mind. We are happy to put up with a bit of sarcasm for a free meal out.  |
Don't worry, I gave back a healthy deal of sarcasm to the chappy that told me I had to put my laptop in a separate tray and couldn't put a coat on top of it. When I questioned whether that was strictly necessary (given that it's going through an x-ray machine) he got a bit stroppy and said something along the lines of "we need to be able to see it though...or we can do a full search of your bag". Of course as I had nothing to hide that wouldn't have been an issue for me at all.
Amazed by what some people will pack...but then I deem headphones and kindle as essentials, which many people would disagree with.

Regarding returning lost phones...
I bought some of those sticky labels for labelling kids clothes.. (very sticky) and has surname and phone number printed on them. All gadgetry (radios, cameras, iPads, phones, bags, boots etc) have then been labelled. And at least, anyone who finds them can be somewhat motivated to re-unite them with us.
Of course, the phone number is MY number... so it doesn’t work if I lose my phone. But as I have a company phone, it will be replaced...likely with an upgrade |
A friend wrote her number on a piece of paper, photographed it, then set it as the lock screen pic on her kids phones. Low tech, but canny.

| I am definitely packing my new microwave rice cooker as boiling stuff at altitude is a real pain and I struggle to cook rice at the best of times! |
It's easy. Rice is a pain at altitude as it doesn't get hot enough to cook it on the inside so it is still gritty, but the outside is cooking for ages so it goes mushy. The solution is to get it properly hot so it cooks. In order to do this fry the rice gently in oil - in the bottom of your saucepan, for about five minutes before adding the water. Then, as always with cooking rice, don't nag it. You are allowed to stir it with the handle of a wooden spoon, or a chopstick but anything more solid causes the rice grains to self-destruct.

I have photocopies of my passport, tickets, bookings, etc. all on Cloud Storage.
So even If I lose papercopies or my digital devices, there is still a way of accessing them.
