[CAL2]

Can anyone help by naming a few things you'd take in your suitcase excluding clothes and tickets
TIA

I wouldn't put my tickets in the suitcase, they always go in the carry on.

Shoes and toiletries along with clothes and phone charger/ adapter tor - that's about it.

Hi

We stay off site but I guess wherever you stay (and this is the UK Forum) I'd take TEA BAGS

@P800aul YES! We always take tea bags!

 

[Mummycat]

I had to laugh at the tea bags as we always take them and declare them at customs just in case and they always just laugh at us (crazy British obviously) and wave us through!
I also take a multi pocket file with all the print outs in usage order as firstly another fun part of the planning and secondly makes me feel a bit more secure as chief organiser!
Can I just ask do people take hair mousse in their main hold luggage? For some reason I've always thought you can't and brought it over there but now I think I've got it wrong

you can take it in your luggage, but not in carry on..
but we tend to buy all the messy hair care products there..
i'm always worried they'll leak and get all over everything..
so on arrival day we make a run to walgreens to buy everything..

Hi

Reading this I guess we take all of the paperwork mentioned, as a back up however I use OneNote and each year I setup a Notebook with separate section for everything in the order we would use or need them. So a section for Airport parking confirmation, ESTA, Fights, Lodgings, Disney etc etc. As I book and receive conformation emails for each part of the trip, I save them to the Notebook under each named section, I even photo our passports and store them in the same Notebook.

I store this NoteBook on OneDrive (Google drive would also do) and using the phone app I have all the information I'm ever likely to need in the Cloud ready if I ever need it. It's got me out of a hole a couple of times over the years.

I also do a yearly one for flights (we go to Spain a lot) this was after booking flights twice for the same dates as I'd forgot that I'd already done it .. not doing that again

Hope this helps if anyone needs more info just ask.

Regards

Paul
