Nothing worse than to land and find out that your cell phone -- that you need to call your ride -- has died, along with the phone numbers stored in it. And take an extra book. As far as the departure scenario, we have a two page check-out list of things we have to do before we leave the house, which we follow religiously, thus avoiding the "did you turn off the water heater?" moment in the plane. (The complement of that is the arrival scenario list. Being a bi-coastal family, we keep a list of chores or projects we need to do (turn on the water heater) and a shopping list for our destination, so we don't wander around for days trying to figure out what is what.
