Sheba's Travel Tip 1
My travel day went as usual, traded, when to 2 meetings, did my correspondence, then lazily checked my ticket to find that my plane was 1 hour before the time I had planned to be at the airport. I drove like a mad woman while talking to Ramila, our Goan housekeeper who must be spoken to in perfect English or else will not respond, to tell her what to pack. I got home, grabbed a quick bite, bid my parents farewell, and ran to the airport.
Of course I never carry cash and that would be the first thing I pursue upon arrival. Then, at my hotel, I realized while talking on the phone, that I do not have the confirmation number but I carry a loyalty card so the receptionists must smile in spite of their aggravationon with me. I asked for an upgrade too.
In longer trips I would first unpack then shower, in shorter ones, I would proceed to shower right before ordering a hot drink. From here onwards, each trip is unique in its mishaps:
I was in Dubai yesterday and as soon as I jumped out of my shower, I realized that I forgot my deodorant. I have forgotten sleeping socks, work shoes, chargers, but never deo. Thank God for Uncle A's advise to a new staff member with body odor problems which I always thought was amusing but never have I thought that I would one day follow:
Uncle A to BO employee: Everyday, you must shower, then you must buy the big yellow cologne from Jamiyaa (I will buy for you), and splash a handful under each arm, then you must wear fresh clothes.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen I sprayed *perfume on my underarmerarm. And yes, it worked.
Travel Tip Number One: Use perfume/cologne instead of deodorant when in need
*Armani, the pink one

Second, it depends on the kind of perfume because some might cause an itch/alergy.

U.E.'s travel tip #1 - Hotels (and airlines) generally provide complimentary 'Emergency Amenities' bags with essentials like toothbrush, sewing thread and DEODERANT! Just ask the desk. Also a fun way to try hair products you would never buy on your own!
I traveled like a mad-woman when I was recruiting but never managed to pack a complete suitcase. hee hee
