This is the bag I am packing to go on holiday tomorrow. What shits me about it is that despite writing a very long list of all the things I need to include, and checking it twice, I just know I've forgotten something. But I don't know what I've forgotten. To make up for the fact that I know I've forgotten something, I've added several random extra things that I know I won't need and which will start to shit me as soon as I begin living out of my suitcase. I know that I will remember the thing I have forgotten when we reach that point in our travels where we are borderline between being close enough to turn back and so far away that turning back would be a major inconvenience. By the time I argue with myself the merits of turning back vs continuing on, we will be past the point of no return and I'll need to buy a new one of the thing I've forgotten, which will turn out to be one of those things that I only ever use on holiday, so it will then spend the rest of the year put away in a safe place so that I won't ever see it, and as a result will forget it next time I go on holiday.
The last time I went to Tasmania I forgot my wallet. Seriously. Don't do that!
