The Irish have a reputation for telling great stories.

When you’re travelling it’s so easy to forget some of the essentials (or at least it seems that way to the travelling frogs…). So I really liked this little checklist card left on the pillow in our hotel in Geneva recently – no more panic in the morning for me when I realise my phone and laptop aren’t charged or I’ve missed a message. And some people I know suggested I underline the one ‘Have you thought of gifts for family and friends?’
