We Are Going On A...Business Holiday

The difficult thing we find about packing when it comes to trips for work is that we have to pack more clothes.

...Ok so that's not really true. Given that we don't handle tropical climate well, it's no wonder if we go through two sets of clothes (or more) in a day. On a business trip at least one set of clothes would be work attire then. And to pack leather shoes instead of Crocs (so crap we don't have any sandals for easy wear).

Checklist!

Work attire for 4 days.
Casual wear for 6 days.
Shoes.
Ah hell, cram slippers into same shoebag.
Toiletries. Hmmm that shaving kit from our last trip could be put to use here.
FF bags for laundry.
FF Passport to visit the branch in Barcelona should opportunity rise.
Check if there is a FF branch in Barcelona.
Passport.
iPods.
iXUs.
NDS.
Chargers for L'amour, iPods, iXus and NDS.
Bloody heavy laptop with bloody heavy laptop bag that cause calluses.
Travel plans, e-tickets and other work-related documents to make bloody heavy laptop bag heavier.
Spare bag to be packed in luggage bag.
Time Out Barcelona guide book.
Wet wipes. Ironically we think this will be one trip where wet wipes aren't necessary.
Sunglasses. And glasses. Contact lens already in toiletry bag.
Check if rain falls mainly in the plains.

While everything has been tetris-ed into the luggage, somehow because it's work-related we feel that there's something missing or essential that we're forgetting. Fingers crossed!
