- NyQuil. Great for gaining some serious sleep in a strange bed.
- At least one novel. You can't read about business all of the time. Years ago I discovered that an Elmore Leonard novel was the length of one flight from Phoenix to New York City.
- Almonds. In case you get stranded.
- Pepto-Bismol tablets. In case your stomach gets weird.
- Crossword puzzle. Some mind exercise. I bought a crossword puzzle book at Barnes & Noble the other day. Later learned it was published in Australia. That explained all of the cricket references.
- Starbucks canned espresso. Small with a lot of punch.
Your nominees?
