David beat me to the punch on this one, but I wanted to make sure you didn’t forget your vade mecum. Whatever that is.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vade+mecum
online dic says it is a Latin expression meaning -
1 a book ready for reference
2 something a person usually carries with him/her.
Probably definition 2
The normal way to say it might be ‘Don’t forget to take your personal belongings with you’
