    Instead of a can of OFF, I take bug spray in the wipe form. They are individually wrapped and easy to carry.

    I take a cloth fold-up shoe organizer that hangs in the closet. I use it for day clothes organizer. I put my shorts, tops, undies in the cubbies. There's still space for hanging up long evening clothes.

    I carry a portable carbon monoxide detector whenever I travel. Purchased one from Home Depot. Heard too many horror stories of vacationers succumbing to CM poisoning in their suits, rooms, etc. Whenever I travel, especially oversees, it's in the room with me. Always carry extra batteries.

    Great suggestions. Few of my own. Id suggest a motion sensor magnetic light. Used it on our Disney Cruise and it was awesome! Also, Magnetic dry erase board vs the sticky notes. Its fun putting it on your door and receiving little notes throughout the day. Saves you all the paper too!
