What's in Your Travel Bag?

my iPad

For my flights to China, I like to bring 3-4 novels, a laptop, a few boxes of ramen noodles in case the food is unusually sub par (I one found what resembled hay in my fish in my United business class), a Nintendo DS, and my iPod Touch.

I should get one of those things I see in Skymall, the charger adapters that plug into the headphone slot, but I honestly think power sockets in planes are the wave of the future so it is relatively unnecessary.

for extended trips:
noise canceling headphones and portable dvd player/laptop
protein bars
toiletries

everything people have posted, + a change of clothes (shirt / socks / UW) and deodorant, because all that running around the airport can make one sweaty. i'll often change in the plane, or wherever i have a change of planes.

laptop
noise canceling headphones
iPod
magazine or book

Audiotechina ath m50 headphones
iphone
iphone recharger thingy
valerian root and benadryl to sleep
whatever mens magazines look readable in the terminal, usually details/esquire/gq...I stay far away from those "style" sections though =/
extra undershirt and underwear to change into before landing...new underwear can change your mood for the better no matter what. I prefer Uniqlo.
pretty much the headphones take up the entire bag.

half a girlfriend (travel bag you know...). Sometimes it's tough deciding if I should bring the top of the bottom. Bottom usually wins.

Fleshlight.

iPod Touch
Bose noise canceling earphones
Granola bar
MacBook
Currency for both locations
Phone charger-very important
Change of clothes

i always keep a shoe polishing cloth in my bags. might get a scuff in those close quarters. condoms too

depends on the country for most destinations...stable/western lets call them...my regular laptop, toiletries bag, 2nd phone, granola bars (+1 who takes them too) for middle east/ certain places in asia: panasonic hardbook, satellite link, gps module (like a beeper but with lat/long), crappy "e-z meals", iridium phone edit, forgot: bose headphones, and batteries to all devices, always

and accompanying plug, surely? to power it on, of course.
