But, just in case...

I packed extra batteries for my flashlight, first aid equipment, V8 juice in case there turned out to be a lack of fresh vegetables available, and canned fruit for the same reason. I packed extra socks. I even packed a power strip. Suppose everyone who had a cell phone wanted to charge them up at the same time? I packed extra works gloves, and two hammers – you know, just in case one broke. Could happen, right? I packed 800 numbers for all the major airlines, just in case I needed to bail out. I did manage restrain myself though. I didn’t pack a roll of toilet paper, only a half-dozen of those little packets of tissues. And I couldn’t imagine even one situation where my passport would be required, so I left that at home, too. Armed with all those other emergency items though, I was sure that I was now downright PREPARED to be flexible.
