Packing list - nail it.
Posted Thursday, August 21, 2008, 12:29 AM by Lonely Planet
Whenever I'm putting together a packing list (and what an art that is - just ask Thorn Tree stalwart Packing List Geoff), just about the first thing on my list is nail scissors, a legacy of my first backpacking trip. I'd just never thought to pack them, I was too cheap to buy them, and my toenails were getting to Chinese Mandarin levels. I'll never forget the ecstasy when, having been lent some clippers by a sympathetic traveller at an open-air restaurant in Venice, I scuttled to the bathrooms and set about turning my feet from eagle back to human.
So: rose cream, silk travel sheet, down booties - nail clippers. They're the stars in my firmament.

I've heard of people getting totally grossed out about 'toenails'. It's like leaving a part of your body laying around. I never thought of it that way before.
