Travel checklist - record is 3 days !!

When visiting a country I have listed the following in order of importance for setting up a business (or just for travelling).

Purpose of travel / stay
Internet Sites / Travel Books
Get maps
General - weather, jabs, plugs, etc
Transport
VISA / Permits
Cash
Accommodation + breakfast
Washing
Luggage Storage
Communication
Contact loved ones
Where to Eat
Where to visit
Shops / Where to Buy
Entertainment
Pamper yourself
Protecting yourself/assets

If you knock these on the head quickly in this order then you won't need a 5 star hotel and you will feel comfortable much quicker.  (5 star hotels just simply provide you with what is on this list and charge a fortune for doing it).

Got this check list down to achieving it in 3 days although the military have got it down to hours and I'm sure others of you seasoned travellers can beat 3 days.  I want to beat my 3 day record in a new country !!!

I've also heard some people who's lists are much smaller, one person I know just takes a piece of string (for hanging out washing) and just goes.

Anyone any improvements on my list or on 3 days ?
