USA | Sunday, 17 May 2009 | Views [547]

Little grey has 2 large inside pockets and this is where I wound up throwing all ATM and credit card receipts (LOTS of those), plus pens, coasters, baggage tags, etc. acquired during the trip.

I won't go into the ATM and CC stuff yet (I THINK the whole trip, including our private tour of Cambodia and Vietnam, cost about USD 10,000, but I haven't added everything up), so here's the other remaining contents:

Pens from -Zephyr Hotel, Hanoi, Victoria Hotel, Sapa, Dusit Hotel, Dubai, Burj Al Arab, Dubai, Thai Airways, Naz Wooden House Inn, Istanbul, Harrods, London, Singapore Airlines, Rex Hotel, Saigon, Excelsior Hotel, Hong Kong (I have NO idea how I got this one!)

Matches from -The Irish Village, Dubai, Il Giardino, Pollenca, Mallorca, Victoria Hotel, Sapa, Ciao Cafe, Saigon

Money from -Singapore, Brazil, euros, UK pounds (I gave away all my spare coins to a lady in Dubai whose daughter collects them)

Boarding passes - SFO/HKG (SQ - Singapore Airlines First Class), HKG/BKK (TG - Thai Airways in First but nothing pre-printed about that on the BP), BKK/REP (Bangkok Airways), REP/HAN (VN - Vietnam Airlines Economy Class), HAN/HUI (VN - Vietnam Airlines Economy), DAN/SGN (VN Economy), SGN/BKK (Air Asia - so cheap not even the airline name is preprinted on the BP plus I don't think I even got BP's on their flights from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Singapore), BKK/NRT (TG with preprinted Royal First), NRT/SIN (SQ with preprinted Business Class), SIN/DXB (SQ preprinted First Class), DXB/IST (SQ no class preprinted on BP), IST/BCN (TK - Turkish Airlines no class preprinted), BCN/PMI (JK - Spanair no class on BP), PMI/LHR (BD - bmi no airline or class on BP), LCY/FRA (LH no preprinted class), FRA/GRU/Sao Paulo (LH nothing preprinted), GRU/YYZ (AC no class on BP), YYZ/EWR (AC no class), JFK/SFO (UA gold color BP)

Baggage Tags - cool ones from Thai saying Royal First, one rectangular and one round, blank one from Vietnam Airlines for carryon bag, Priority/Priorite from AC, several others that say Priority but nothing special
