Packing shouldn't be "packing" in the first place. Your trip bag should have all it's own stuff: phone charger, toiletries, vitamins, running shoes, etc. Replace as necessary but don't remove for home use.

Wow. I guess I'm way underprepared. If I was traveling to the third world I'd consider some of the stuff you guys are packing.
Extension cords? Duck tap and zip ties? What kind of hotels are you guys staying in!?
I also like a full-size bar of Dial soap. I hate those tiny bars of Dove soap found in most hotels.
It's the little things.
I always travel with some anti-diarrhea medicine. Sometimes when we travel things don't go well.
Related advice, skip salads on the road, other than undercooked or raw meats they are the food most likely to cause problems.

I had a trip that was to one of our construction camps in northern British Columbia. I thought they were kidding when they said bring a towel because they are usually so well stocked. I ended up using paper towel to dry off after my showers.
