“UNDERWEAR: DON’T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT”
“The American Express Card: Don’t Leave Home Without It” was a variation on the advertising slogan “Don’t Leave Home Without Them” promoting American Express Traveler’s Checks that the company launched in 1975.
There was a time my travel mantra should have been: “Underwear: Don’t Leave Home Without It” because I became notorious for arriving at a destination without packing underwear or socks, or leaving entire suitcases in the closet.
