    I have just came back but took.
    Diazepam, immodium. Plasters etc. Book. Pen.
    Sick bags (collect them on the plane, nothing worse than more than one person having a gippy sicky tum, and only one bathroom!).

    in my previous post I forgot to add the shiit pills.

    h:)

    Hadn't taken Immodium on holiday before but decided to take some to India with us. Good call. I still can't believe how effective a tiny melt in the mouth tablet can be. :rotfl:

    Never mind little extras, what the h*ll do they take in those big suitcases, I've often wondered.

    all of the above!

    For next time, generic version available everywhere in India and a lot cheaper than taking it with you.

    Bottle opener!

    Micropore tape, roll of food bags (would probably also work as sick bags if you have a strong stomach - lol), as well a few odds+ends already mentioned.

    Second the string idea, except mine was bought as a travel clothes line and has rubber suckers on the end!

    I always travel with a packet of HobNobs. Handy if anyone is feeling sickly, and useful to nibble on if we get delayed or anyone gets the munchies.
    Here I go again on my own....

    A roll of black bin liners.

    They don't take up much space, but are great when travelling with toddlers. We use them :

    - as blackout blinds.
    - as a mattress protector
    - to throw in wet clothes
    - to throw in dirty clothes when you cannot properly deal with the sick mess at 3am, you just put it in the bathroom
    - as a bin etc.

    a lot of use out of them, they are cheap too.
