Packing List help, please...

[MelissaE1]

OK, it's getting down to time for me to think about what I will need to pack. (I am a born procrastinator and have finally learned to start earlier than the night before I leave, lol.) I know there have been some great threads on this, but I can never get the search feature to work. I need help from anyone and everyone... besides the obvious clothing and toiletries, what do I need to make sure I bring? (Or what would you not want to do without?)

Here are the things I have thought of or pulled off this board so far:

Shoe organizer
Extension cord
Pillowcases for signing
Clothespins
Ziplocs
Disposable camera(s)
Reading light
Book(s)

Any other ideas, or even things that should be obvious that might be overlooked?

Thanks!

Hope I've done this right. If you keep reading all the posts, you will get to where someone put all the advice in a list.

Here's a link for that calgon packing list....it's been updated.

www.geocities.com/calgon1/ultimate_packing_list.html

it's quite extensive, but the idea is to remind you of something you might have forgotten that you might want to take. I used it as a checkoff list of things I ought to take.

Hi MelissaE1
Is'nt it getting exciting! My daughter keeps walking around saying "I just keep picturing myself with my hair braided on the ship". It is getting very REAL! I'm taking a small aerosal spray from Bath and Body, Those rooms tend to get stinky with 4 people and dirty clothes(especially my DH workout clothes). Im also taking my new travel clock/sound system (it simulates the ocean, rain, stream, ect.). I just got it for Christmas and I can't wait to use it. I dont have a veranda but I can still hear the ocean with it! See ya in about 25 days! Have a happy New Year!

Wow, thanks for all the great links, everyone! Now I feel prepared. Or pre-prepared at least. lol.

Mickeymom629, how smart to have bookmarked that link. That was the best thread I remember seeing on packing, but I couldn't find it. Thank you.

Aaronamy, yes, it is getting very real! Whee! Your clock/noise machine sounds neat... where did it come from, and how much do they cost?

I got my clock/noise machine for christmas, but it came from Brookstone, its called Tranquil Moments and it was originally 80.00 but I think my husband got it on sale.
