Assuming your computer carrying case is your entire mobile office, put these in it:
- Laptop computer.
- Power brick. Include international power adapter if traveling overseas.
- External mouse and/or keyboard if you prefer them.
- Thumb drive (2x), in case you need to transfer some files. Make sure they're fully sanitized.
- Phone charger, with a good reliable charger cord.
- Earbuds/headphones with microphone.
- Should have noise canceling capability if you'll be traveling by air.
- Make sure you have whatever's necessary to charge it up.
- Adapter for your phone, if necessary (e.g. to use non-Apple headphone with iPhone)
- Ballpoint pen.
- Mechanical pencil - with good working eraser.
- Sharpie pen, fine-point.
- Highlighter.
- Notebook/pad.
- Pad of sticky-notes.
- A couple business-size envelopes; a few stamps.
The following should go in your computer bag if there's room, or else wherever makes sense for you:
- Cell phone.
- Your Contacts should already have the people you will need to call when you are on the trip, such as your POC who will meet you at the gate/reception. Also emergency numbers, such as roadside assistance.
- Your phone plan should include mobile hotspot.
- Wallet, with ID, credit card, and emergency cash (a couple $20's). A card with emergency contact numbers on it, plus additional info if traveling overseas.
- Business cards.
- If possible, have them printed with QR code for your contact info.
- Aspirin, allergy meds, caffeine tablets, instant coffee packets, etc.
- Tissues.
- Hand sanitizer - small travel-size bottle.
- Tool kit, e.g. one of those all-in-one screwdriver/plier/knife things.
- Bottle of water.
- Snacks (e.g. power bars).
- Mints/gum.
- Ear plugs, since some hotel rooms are noisier than you're used to.
In the evening, plug in all the electronics to get them fully charged up; and refill the water bottle. Replenish any depleted consumables (e.g. tissues).
