WILT

WILT (What I Learned Today)

1.  Do not decide not to apply sunscreen to exposed knees when in a boat for five hours

2.  When traveling via ferry, leave even earlier than whatever time you think is way too early

3.  Despite complete packing checklist, I will forget at least one important item per trip. Latest trip: no coat; last trip: no computer power cord; previous trip: no hairbrush.
Travel is so much more interesting this way! Possibilities include (but are not limited to):

having access to important information while hair reflects constant state of extreme surprise

being sufficiently warm and nicely quaffed while unable to access document which entire trip is about

being overly warm while looking like stuck finger in socket
