• pay to have laundry done
• bring a light jacket (for inside)
• carry on only (interchangeable clothes)
• seek out brand new experiences (Elephant Reserve)
• find and hoard old childhood favorites

17:58 - Gail's romanticized return destinations:

• don't be sick while there (Lake Como, Italy)
• for food! (Singapore)
• get a rialita (Hawaii)
• eat more localised comfort food, that aren't available elsewhere (Cusco, Peru <- Alpaca, Llama, etc)

In general, be more adventurous with food eating and focus on local tastes that are difficult to find back home - Experiment!
