Being organized for traveling

I sort out my bag before we head out on a trip and when I sorted it out last night I found 4 gel pens inside, the pens I had been looking for everywhere else. I like to travel with a slightly larger handbag, large enough to carry all our travel documents, a book, a shawl for chilled flights, an eye mask thingy to get some sleep, and in the days before all these travel restrictions, a bottle of my contact lens solution. It's essential to have a couple of pens in a bag, since one always has to fill up forms at the airport or in the airplane when traveling internationally.
