First, my iPad.
15 hours is quite the long haul flight, so I'm going to have to charge this thing to its full power, load it up beforehand with some shows/movies and download some fun games.

This one isn't an essential, but my Canon T5i is coming with me on my carry-on bag because I don't trust airports to handle delicate things in my checked in luggage. I'm also worried about theft. I once arrived at an airport with the zippers on my luggage broken, so I assume the workers were ripping suitcases open and looking inside for things of value. As a side note, I'll be bringing my EF 50mm f/1.4 USM and EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM lenses with me on this trip.
In addition to these two electronics, I'll be packing two Apple lightning wires with me, while its wall plugs will be going into my suitcase.
And earphones.
I have the Urbanears Medis Tomato earphones. These earphones are alright, but they hurt my ears after a while, so I'm still on the hunt for that perfect pair of in-ear headphones that aren't the soft rubbery style that everyone uses (those don't fit in my ears...)
Because airplane air is so drying, I will be packing a sleeping mask into my carry-on.
My sleeping mask of choice is the Origins' Drink Up Intensive Overnight mask. I have a travel sized version of it, which makes the perfect size for carry-on. It also fits TSA restrictions, which is the best part. I know that people do carry sheet masks with them onto the plane, but they dry out extremely fast. Additionally, face masks are a bit of a struggle for my small(er) sized face, so I prefer to use wash-off masks instead. I will apply this the moment I get on the plane, and reapply as the flight goes on.
Hand creams!! I have so many handcreams and because I'm bringing two bags on board, I'll have two hand creams on me.
L'Occitane makes the best handcreams ever. I think I own like four hand creams from them. I also own some other hand creams, but this one smells good. The Piroine Flora is almost finished, so I'll probably pack another hand cream into my suitcase to replace it.
My wallet for the Hong Kong portion of the trip is my Marc Jacob Classic Q Wallet in grey.
I might end up buying a new wallet while I'm in Hong Kong, but for now, this is the wallet I will be bringing with me. It's got a coin pouch, which makes it very useful for me, as a cash person. It's also bigger than my Michael Kors wallet, making it perfect for bills of different sizes.
I also have a mini emergency bag that I transfer from bag to bag and inside it are bandages (for my feet or other accidents), an old eclipse case with TUMS inside, lip balm, nail clippers (that will be in my suitcase and not my carry on however...), a cuticle trimmer, travel sized contact solution, and girl necessities.
My makeup (outlined in Part 1) also comes with me, simply because I don't want it to get damaged in my suitcase.
Glasses case also goes with me... simply because this way I know I have my glasses with me. Sometimes I get on the plane with my contacts in, and take them off in the first hour. I have almost forgotten to pack glasses with me sometimes... #fail
Food is also important. I usually try to bring some junk food with me, so I have something to eat while I watch my movies or shows. Also because airlines usually don't provide good junk food (although Cathay is amazing with their food though! They've got Haagen Daz ice cream for dessert, omg).
A cardigan is necessary. Planes can be cold, so something to cover my shoulder/arm is important, even if your airline provides blankets for long haul flights.
Lastly, my passport of course. Imagine if I forgot that...
Generally I try to sleep as much as possible on flights. There's not much to do, lack of space and privacy is a concern, so I just sleep and watch movies. I try to sleep for at least half of the flight, but I don't know how well I'll fare this time, since it's my first time flying for 15 hours straight. Time to cut down on my sodium intake now!
Part 3 will be out tomorrow!
