Your luggage could do its own Live report! Thanks for sharing with such composure and humor!! (lurked for a day, then started following)

@Jim_Iain long time follower/lurker. I am so jealous you are visiting the Amsterdam Concertgebuw. It's on my travel music wish list. We try to see classical concerts in every major European city, stumbling upon I Musici 4 Seasons in Venice wafting from a church once. The annual Brecon Baroque Festival in the small village of Brecon Wales was a full week retirement exclamation point in 2019. Once on an Alaskan cruise, we stumbled upon the Bach's Lunch Music Festival in Sitka! Just typing these brings back so many wonderful travel memories! Thank you for a great travelogue and tips!

Thank you for the great review, and the wonderful tips about tips!

In addition to the other suggestions I brought these on a TA cruise in April, where several of our group did get Covid, but extra first aid is good for all the other illnesses on ships. I put these items in my 9 x6x4 clear zipper bag: a small first aid kit with the usual items mentioned above, Ayr no drip saline spray, Ayr saline nasal gel, systayne eye drops, TheraZinc lozenges and Zicam Nasal all-clear swabs. Several small travel kleenex packs (extra soft for constant sneezing and so forth). Baby wipes, Tums, pepto bismol, Immodium, Blue nitrile gloves, and because there were lots of reported toilet issues in quarantined rooms getting no service, I brought zip lock bags and a few scrub brushes to toss after use, and which I was very happy not to use, but glad I had. Now that bag is ready to go in case of fire, earthquakes, hurricanes or killer bee attacks, also in case of quarantine, 2 of all shared toiletries, lotions, toothpaste, device chargers, etc
