Thanks, everyone, for all the great responses. And TSandM, I'd never consider you a blowhard!
I've remembered a couple of other tips I wish someone had shared with me when I was new.
I got a cheap ($15) indoor/outdoor rug/mat for changing. This one simple item has made a huge difference in how my "day is going". It makes it so much easier to stay clean(er) and dry(er) when changing, even indoors because the floor in those public toilets is ususally pretty icky.
We take a small bucket every time these days. This was a free one I got out of the trash at the laundromat (I think it was for detergent). We use it for soaking our camera and other small items after a dive, but it's come in handy a lot of times for all kinds of uses.
