Like the photos.
I have a couple of "cable minder" organizing pouch ("Cable Management
10" from Think Tank Photo

if you're interested) that hold all the essential bits for packing.
Charger, batteries, spare memory cards, etc are always in one of them,
and that one is always in one of my bags with the appropriate camera,
all set up and ready to go shooting. If I'm in a rush, I just grab
that bag and go. If I'm packing for a trip, that pouch stays with the
camera at all times. Makes it easy not to forget essential stuff.

When I arrived in Fez I found that I had forgotten to pack my spare
batteries and battery chargers, so I had arrived with only the battery
in the vertical grip. When I'd stopped hyperventilating I set off for
the French-built part of town, which is a modern city, in the hope of
being able to pick something up and, if not, buy a new camera.
On the way there I spotted this place:

The old man and his son who ran it opened the shop for me and spent a
long time searching through their piles of stuff, but they didn't have
what I needed, unfortunately. Nevertheless, I spent a pleasant time
with them and the older man showed me some photographs he'd taken on a
trip to London in the 1970s - mainly Buckingham Palace and telephone
boxes. I took a picture of him by the light of the small window you
can see in the shop:

Later that day I did manage to find a small, genuine Olympus battery
for the camera and a rather dodgy but effective Chinese charger, so I
was rescued. But lesson learned!
