We all have a list...clothes, bathing suit, toothbrush...pretty normal stuff. But what about those things you don't think of easily...those..."Gee! I wish I had thought of that!" items that you wish you had taken with you, or did and it made your trip extra special?

Let's see wht kind oflist we can come up with to help us all remember what we don't want to forget!

My DW, forget her once in the car at the airport, and boy, was she pissed off.......

Seriously, rechargeable batteries for the camera and an extra memory card, just in case 250 pictures aren't enough

Over the door hanging shoe bag, for all those little spaced bathrooms! Great organizer and easy to pack!

must agree on the rechargeable extra batteries... because murphy's law dictates that batteries will die on you in the most inopportune time!

i also usually bring a waterproof camera with me. never know when it may come in handy, especially when you dont want to run the risk of ruining your regular or digital camera.

also a mini first aid kit... tylenol, gauze, band aids, pepto, etc... never know when it may come in handy!

Nail polish and remover...
playing cards
book

anyone bring costumes?

jstducky · 10-26-2005, 03:25 PM

playing cards are something i always bring as well.

nail clippers are something else always on my list.

a folder to keep a copy of all my daily newsletter or borchures i pick up on the way so i can scrapbook everything later

Confession here..I have never used a list, I just pack things as and when I think of them and if anything is forgotten I try and do without it or buy a cheap and cheerful replacement while on holiday...

I pack all of the above too and then some!

Night Light

Downey Wrinkle Releaser

Am thinking of little liquor bottles...nightcap sized.
Have read some folks bring sodas and bottled water but not sure I'll go there.
Did pack 70's disco attire (the real thing) for dancing on Disco night, since we love to hustle. Have been known to pack country attire for a country western night. (hat, boots, countyr shirt to go with jeans)

Romance items...like a couple candles... (in glass jars) that's all I'm sharing in that category so stop giggling!

Ladies - clear nailpolish for runs in the stockings - better safe than sorry.
extra room in a suitcase for stuff you bring home....

Next!

Carry on a change of clothes, so you can change when you get on the ship, before you have your luggage.
