3.6 – Identify a noun, pronoun, adjective, adverb & the names of the tenses of verbs which are underlined.

A small day pack that you can fling in your luggage, is essential for toting water bottles, tablet device or guidebook and a raincoat or folding umbrella and all the other odds and sods you need on day trips. They also come in handy as a spillover bag for the homeward journey if you shop too enthusiastically.

Clothes dry quickly if they're hung on a line rather than draped over a bathroom rail. I use a double-strand braided, elastic version with hooks at either end, which holds clothes tight without pegging.

Quality earplugs are a must for those whose sleep is less than sound, and handy for blocking aircraft noise as well. My favourites are the soft, tapering, orange MAX1 Earplugs, available from Amazon.

Sarongs are the traveller's best friend. They can be used as nightwear, a standby beach towel, modest covering for temple visits or wrappedcarefully around a jumper to make a pillow.

The Swiss Army knife is part of the standard kit for NASA astronauts, and no self-respecting traveller should be without one. From fingernails to dealing with wine corks to digging stones from yaks' hooves, this is a complete toolkit in a pocket-size pack (just don't leave it in your carry-on at the airport - it will be confiscated by security).
