Hi, Peter,

A power strip so you aren't fighting over one electrical outlet;
Sticky notes so you can tell each other where you've gone; and
A Med map + tape to put on your stateroom wall (or the glass of a framed
picture if tape will damage the wall). Okay, I'm weird that way, but I love
to follow our progress & consider the places we visit in relation to each
other as we daily discover and absorb the interwoven history and culture of
each place.

A predictable response would have been "a good attitude," but your reference
to packing your teddy made that unnecessary!

Have a wonderful trip, the Med in October should be divine,
