I'd beg to differ on the disposable underwater camera though, you can actually get good shots from those (although like you said it does help if its the right time of day) ...there are some decent faq sites for those, I use this one: http://disposableunderwatercamera.org and have had good results.

Instead of a suction-cup clothesline, I recommend a DIY bungee cord with hooks on the end. You also need some creativity to stretch the cord in bizarre pretzels across your hotel rooms to get sufficient tension in the line before hanging your clothes--no droop here! Nice list.

A favorite pasttime of mine involves cracking up at the different animal contraptions in those in-flight magazine catalogs! Just echoing everyone – great list!

There's so much stupid stuff for sale out there when I shop I think how useless will this be instead of how helpful it'll be. I have to agree with Eva though, I have a small toiletry bag and I consider it an important packing tool. I love the list!

I have to disagree with you on the toiletry organizer, though. I have a great one that rolls up and ties, when unrolled it has a hook for hanging in the shower so there is no packing and unpacking. It is a little bulky but waterproof, convenient, and I always know exactly where everything is. Other than that, I don't go in for gadgets much. A handful of used plastic bags can go a long way.
