oaky - so we are leaving in less than 10 days and I am off and packing.

I would love to hear some suggestions of things to bring that you may have forgot or never thought of on your trip. We are staying at OKW 1 bedroom for 8 days 7 nights with dh and almost 3 yr old.

I would love some "oh yeah - forgot about that" suggestions..

Thanks!!!
 
Jeans!

I always seem to forget them and it always seems I need them when I forget them.

A nice pair of earrings for you "night out".

A portable cd player/radio
 

How about a small flashlight? They're great for really dark rides with little ones. Also wished I'd had one during last August's stay at AKL, as they turned the electricity off in the middle of the night and it was EXTREMELY difficult to find the facilities!!!
 
Video's or Dvd's. I think they have VCR's in the rooms at OKW.

Ziplock bags
Laudry bag
Laudry detergent

For those of us who have men who like to sit on their "throne",

air freshner

Sunscreen......extra shoes a must.......immodium....eeeewww...oh yeah.......favorite brush always forget sometype of hair product/brush:yo-yo:
 
Extra coffee filters for the coffee pot. Brought the coffee,cream and sugar, but forgot the filters.

One time forgot to bring DH underware. I thought he had packed it and he thought I had packed, so neither of us packed it. :hyper:
 
Alka Seltzer
feminine hygiene products (very expensive at hotels),
Extra batteries
Extra Film (you can never have too much)
Plastic utensils & paper plates for room meals
 
A nightlight for the bathroom. Maybe an extra one to put in a hallway.
 
Small container of disenfecting wipes.
Shout stain wipes.
Travel packs of facial tissues.
Cold medicine. (With this, if I pack it, we don't get a cold. If I forget--we do.)
Folding umbrella.
Nail file (I always forget this!)
 
Batteries! I remembered all my rechargeables for the digital camera and the computer, but forgot about my Palm Pilot batteries.

Also, remember your regular glasses if you're wearing your prescription sunglasses when you leave home! DH complained through our entire trip because he couldn't see!

The thing I most commonly forget is a nightlight.

Don't forget allergy medicine, especially if you are traveling very far. It may not be allergy season where you live, but with all the pretty plants and flowers in the World, someone is bound to be allergic to something.
