I think that for me these days.. the biggest thing to remember is to make sure all the batteries are charged and IN THE photobag. I hate to get out shooting then realize a couple of them needed charging.

I'm trying to get better organized so that I can make sure things are prepared. It is hard sometimes though!

I have never traveled to India, however I have been to Israel, Australia, England amongst others. Here are my travel recommendations: 1) Keep a xerox copy of your passport and/or other ID in a separate place from your originals just in case the originals disappear; 2) a no-brainer, but allow an ample amount of time in the airport as security will be very tight; 3) make sure to bring OTC meds (e.g. Pepto Bismol) that you aren't sure you will be able to find there, 4) all carry on liquids should be 3 oz or smaller AND put in a sandwich sized ziploc bag (a must for us contact lens wearers), 5) check on your tripod; it may have to go under the plane if it is longer than a certain length (someone from my camera club wanted to take it on board and couldn't b/c it was too long). 6) Most important: HAVE FUN!!!!!

Pack light, Can't stress this enough, it's hard enough to carry all the camera gear.

my third is get a good rain coat for you and your camera and camera case if you don't have a water proof bag The camera raincoat for me also worked as a double to keep hand warmers wrapped in to keep my lenses and cameras from fogging up and getting condensation build up with keeping things semi warm they where always ready
with my other tips thats from learning the hard way I had equipment in my carry on and laptop a big 17 inch and Man was it a head ache lugging all that stuff around when small works just as good
