What's in Your Carry-on, Julia Buckley?

Travel voyeurs, every last one of us! It's time for a new series wherein you show off what you're working with. That is, what necessities make it into your carry-on bag. Want to be featured? It's crazy simple. Shoot us an email with a nice big photo of your bag contents and a little bit about why they have pride of place in your carry-on. And of course include your Twitter handle if you so desire.

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: Julia Buckley, Deputy Editor of the new UK version of crazy-popular luxury hotel flash sale site Jetsetter.

First things first. I’m unlike most pro travelers because I travel heavy (hair straighteners! Asthma inhalers! Maxidress in case of impromptu black tie event!) so I virtually always check a bag, if not two. I realize this is anathema to most of the other people who’ve contributed their own bag contents this series, but if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have things like lamps from Mormon thrift stores, Vegas slot machine signs, lifesize cut-outs of Barack Obama and 1950s milk bottles in my living room.

Anyways, that means my carry-on is more or less limited to the things I need for the flight, plus thievable equipment. I’m swapping Christmas in London for Vegas and New Mexico in three days time, and this is what I’ll be taking:

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: Sammual James McLoughlin, Editor of the mobile technology blog PalmAddict.

As I am lucky to travel on a frequent basis from Manchester, UK to cities such as Rio de Janeiro and New York City, I like to ensure that I travel light and as efficiently as possible so that my travels are free of hassle. I only take carry-on; waiting for luggage stowed away uses time. I take the following with me:

· Marks & Spencer Travel holdall: It's a couple of years old, it's robust and it can be wheeled anywhere and there is enough space to carry clothing that suits the climate of the city I am visiting. Luggage label courtesy of my gold elite status with Continental Airlines.
· Macbook Air: Allows me to update my website and stay up to date with work email.
· iPad: Possibly the greatest gadget I have owned to date. Loaded with my own choice of films in case I am bored of inflight entertainment.

Here's the rundown of what's all in my Jack Spade Waxwear carry-on...
· 13-inch Macbook Air. I would do an 11-inch next time as I was apprehensive about screen real estate this time.
· iPhone 4S
· iPad in a COTEetCIEL sleeve, which I love for my tech items.

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: John Walton, journalist for Australian Business Traveller:

So this is my 'long trip' pack. I take less stuff with me for short jaunts, though it's mainly that I leave the 17" MacBook Pro and iPad behind and take my 11" MacBook Air instead. I've actually been known to travel for two weeks with only hand luggage, although that does involve a fair bit of hand-washing in hotels. I'm kind of an airline ninja like that.

Clockwise, spiralling inwards, from bottom left:

· British Airways Club World amenity kits, old (blue) and new (brown). The brown one is the perfect size for my Airport Express wireless router, which I carry everywhere, and the blue one fits my ethernet cable, various USB sticks and 3G-wifi wireless modem with its charging cable.
· Berocca, echinacea and multivitamins. I swear by this cocktail to keep me manflu-free on long trips. Some of it might be a placebo, but I so don't care. It works.

I can pack for a week in a 20-21 inch suitcase. Besides clothes, wrapped in a plastic sleeve and accouterments that don't wrinkle, I add:

· One pair of shoes
· One pair of fit flops
· A small point-and-shoot camera
· Fortnum & Mason tea bags

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: Hilary Stockton, CEO of TravelSort.

If I’m traveling alone for business I usually just take a carry-on and don’t check anything. Here are my essentials:


· Ambien: Rarely used, but good to have when I need to get some sleep and jet lag is keeping me up.
· Toiletries: Since I don’t always stay at the Four Seasons or a luxury boutique hotel (have to inspect other hotels after all!) I bring my own toiletries from past 5-star stays: Bulgari, L’Occitane, etc.
· Pens: I’m a fan of the Pilot Precise V5 and always carry a couple. Just have to make sure to get them back from fellow passengers who borrow them for filling out customs forms.
· Espresso: I special order this Nescafe Espresso powder in bulk, it’s that good. I usually just put some in a small plastic vial rather than taking the entire container with me.

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: Juliana Shallcross, Editor of our sister site HotelChatter.com:

This is what was in my carry-on from a recent 24-hour trip to Vegas, a trip that I make pretty frequently. Actually, this is my "personal bag" (a Gucci tote from 2005) as defined by the TSA. The rest of my stuff is in a green Kipling carry-on suitcase and includes my Macbook, power cords, two pairs of shoes, two outfits (one fancy for meetings and one casual for the trip home), a long-sleeve shirt and pants to sleep in (because hotel rooms are always so darn cold) and my TSA-approved sized toiletries in a TSA-approved plastic baggie.

But while those things are important, here's what I like to have near me during the flight and once I land in Vegas:

· Lip stuff. Check it, there are three things of lip stuff there. I cannot stand having dry lips and Vegas is dry lip city.
· Visine. For some reason, I am guessing again it's because of the dryness, my contacts always act up in Vegas. So Visine is necessary but I also pack my glasses for back-up (in the black case.)

· Hanes Undershirts - Because "you can’t beat the value" (so says Michael Jordan)
· 1950’s Shades - Because the future of the online media is so bright…you know the rest
· C3 Metrics business cards - Because there’s no second chance for a first impression
· Yoga workout clothes - Because it kills any other workout and I can do it in a hotel room

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of illustrious travelers, we've got yet another: Chris Wang of Pictouring.

In October 2010, I set out to travel the world for a year. I packed as little as I could without sacrificing safety, and over the course of my travels I ended up in places that ranged from -40F in the winter (Mongolia) to 120F in the summer (India). Everything worked out. I bought extra layers really cheaply—usually around $25 for a thick jacket—and donated them when I no longer needed them.

Everything fits into a carry-on sized backpack and weighs ~25lbs, including the camera, which alone weighs 6.5 lbs.

Next up in the series after peeking into the bags of Max Graham, Annemarie Dooling, Megan Starr, The Points Guy and Jillian Smith, we've got Peter Shankman, a Small Business Evangelist/Angel Investor/Speaker/Consultant and an insanely frequent flyer:

Everything I carry for travel fits into my ScotteVest jacket. I sit on the board of ScotteVest and do own a stake in their company, so I'm making that clear up front. That said, though, I love, love, love my vest; it acts as another carry-on for me, and means that I don't have to carry a backpack.

So, staring at everything in it from above, on the left, we have:
· Band-aids on the sleeve. They fit into the sleeve pocket. You never know when you're going to need a band-aid. (Especially from someone who picks at his cuticles when he's nervous or stressed).

If I'm going to be away for a week or less, I rely on my Filson wheeled carry-on. It holds everything and still manages to make me feel like the chicest traveler in the airport (or train station.)

I'm always with at least one laptop, usually a Mac and a PC, and though I work in the digital division, I'll use any computer until its last breath, and then some. This VAIO has been rebuilt a few times, but I just won't let it go.

The mask is from the NYC immersive experience "Sleep No More," which I finally checked out last week after my photog friend, Travis Commeau, and celeb blogger buddy, Trent Venagas, had seen it multiple times with rave reviews. I hear Punchdrunk, the producers, are toying with a travel experience. I'm in!
