My Answers:

1: Is there anyone who always travels with you? Travel Penguin, he spends most of his time in my messenger bag that I always take on the road, and often take into the city. 

2: Have you ever replaced luggage in the middle of a trip? I had a wheel go bad while rolling bags through Termini in Rome, and bought a replacement the next day so I wouldn't have to drag that bag the rest of the trip.

3: Do you keep a travel toiletries kit packed and ready to go all the time? Yes, and a second small bag with a few days of prescription meds. 

4: Do you keep foreign currency on hand? I like landing with enough to take a taxi to the hotel and have lunch, I have Euros, GB pounds, Canadian dollars, and Icelandic kroner.

5: When did you get your first passport? 1990, I was in my early 30's.
