My experience with "just in case" things I take on trips is that they become a distraction. The best trip I ever had was one in October where we went to a hotel on a remote island without any internet and absolutely no phone reception.

It's called relaxation apparently. I liked it.

We had almost the same experience month ago, when we traveled to Cape Verde. No internet and calls were so expensive that I only did one phone call during the trip. It really was refreshing!
