dormouse1953I've just arrived in Cologne, the first stage in my journey to Archipelicon this weekend.
When I was on the Eurostar this afternoon, the guy sitting next to me was trying to find out where he could plug his laptop in and what type of socket it was. (The answers are, between the two seats in front, and European.)
At which point I remembered I'd forgotten to pack my mains adaptor. I got checked into my hotel by 19:30 so I went wandering and found a German equivalent of Currys PC World that stayed open till 20:00 and bought a Reisestecker for ten euros.
I always forget at least one thing when travelling. (One Eastercon I discovered I had no clean underpants and had to make a shopping expedition to Hinkley.) I hope this is the only thing I've forgotten this time.
UPdate: Well, I've just discovered what else I'd forgotten to pack - toothpaste!
