The night before I fly out, I always fear that I’m leaving something behind. Nervously, I check my bags, repeating the list in my head: passport, boarding pass, keys, phone, wallet. I repeat the list until I’ve checked everything off. I’ve made it a habit to double-check everything the night before taking on a flight.
Suddenly, I notice that my passport is not in the front pocket of my bag where it usually is.
