What did you forget to pack???

[juicefruit00]

Hi everyone

I am leaving in 13 more days and i am getting a bit nervous. I know i will get there and i will have forgotten something. Just for fun!!!! What would you tell me to not forget?

I will start it off, I will not forget to take my dog and cat to the kennel.

DON'T FORGET

(1) Pack way more film than you think you'll need.
(2) Your itinerary!!!!
(3) Enough cash so if you forget something important, WHO CARES buy a new one! LOL!
(4) Tape your favourite TV shows while you are gone. (Eco Challenge is on during our trip, so we'll tape it)
(5) Remember where you packed things. I KNOW I packed a bunch of different sized baggies and in Florida I could NOT find them ANYWHERE! I found them while I was unpacking at home.

FORGET IT AT HOME! (What you won't need ~ waste of space)

(1) Shampoo ~ they give you plenty in resorts
(2) Blow dryer
(3) Iron
(4) Clothes that don't match two or more things ~ you'll have better luck with mix and match stuff.

I forgot a copy of my itinerary....Thank god I worked on it soooo much that I knew it by heart..

I also forgot my water shoes for the Water parks and Wal-mart in Orlando only had bright pink ones that were tooo big and I look like a clown in tham in all the photos.

 

[SandraC]

LOL ~ big pink shoes!

Also bring all confirmation numbers and telephone numbers of folks back home. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself on where the hospital is and tele # of clinics.

Bring your fav treats from home in case you can't find them in WDW. We brought one box of ds fav Arrowroot cookies and he went thru them in 2 days, we could not find them ANYWHERE! I also love a certain candy and brought 2 bags.

LOTS of hair ties and clips! I hate it when I forget a hair tie ~ if I don't wear a hair tie in my waist length hair on Space Mtn, I get off looking like a clown ~ can I borrow your pink shoes?

1. Diet Mountain Dew (for some reason the bottom half of the country just doesn't seem to carry it-especially in New Orleans area!)

2. Diabetic necklace - of all things-one left on kitchen table-one on my desk at work-I should have called and had them mail it to the motel-we went to 4 different pharmacies and of course they had every kind except diabetic.

3. Bandaids (not at home but left them in the motel room - both in Disney and New Orleans)-I am a blister person and should have had enough smarts to put them in my purse.

Anyone want to buy size 11 woman's BRIGHT PINK water shoes.....??????

It isn't a very good look

LOL,

Roll on the floor,

LOL (which is what I suspect people did when they saw them)


Don't forget to photocopy your tickets in case you loose them. It is the only way they can be traced.

Also, don't forget to bring ME when you go next...LOL

Heck, a girl just has to try...

Thanks everyone, you all have great idea's. My biggest worry is i am going to forget my passporter book. I have everything in there. I am going to make a check list and hold on to that book for dear life. LOL. I have 11 more days and i don't know if i can take it. I am driving everyone nuts. At least i have you people who share the same desire as i do. LOL.

I do want a pair of those pink water shoes. LOL , but not size 11. I really do have to get a pair for me and my son, hubby already has a pair. Does anyone know where i can pick these up. I know it isn't in season for them. Any Idea's?

Bandaids what a great idea, didn't even think of that. This is a great subject, give me some more idea's. This is helping me more than you know.

Thanks everyone.....Nancy

I would stop my newspapers and mail. So everyone won't know i am on vacation. I would have my check list and go through it before i leave the house. I won't forget to enjoy myself and have a great time. I would like to forget to go back to work when i came home. LOL.

Turn your washing machine water OFF. Anyone who has had their water hose rupture knows that you'd better be home when it happens, or your house is flooded in no time. My girlfriend's entire house had to be gutted out and wallboard and floors replaced after they returned home from Disney. We've had it happen when we were home, thank goodness. It took me over an hour to clean up five minutes of the explosion. Now I shut the water to the washer off every time I'm done with a load.

Have a great trip!

a toothbrush. I've forgotten mine on so many trips that I finally found a good sale and put a brand new toothbrush in every single suitcase I might choose to travel with. (Guess it has to do with leaving the toothbrush out to use just before I go and then not remembering to throw it in).

I know for a fact that you can buy a crummy one for $3 at the Carribbean Beach

When we went down in 2000, we were camping in FW. I was soooo careful - I made lists and packed most everything up the night before. We stopped in a KOA to sleep the first night and realized I had forgotten the bed pillows for my DH and me!! I remembered the kids pillows, but forgot ours! We had to stop at the Wal-mart off of I-4...2 forgotten pillows cost me over an hours time and $97!!! Never let a husband wander off in that store!!

I am always good at packing everything (I start almost a week before we leave). But one time I opened my wallet and left it in the front seat of the car, realizing it at the airline's counter when they asked me to show an ID! I panicked and ran to the nearest shuttle begging the driver to take me back to my parking lot.

I made it ... barely!

I had the same fear of forgetting something and what I did was leave a piece of paper on my desk with a pen and in the days before the trip, I would remind myself to bring things by writing them down. This comes in handy, especially when it comes to things you need to keep unpacked until the day of your trip, like cell phone chargers, razors, shaving cream, toothbrush, etc.

Try it, and I think it will work very well for you.

Sunglasses for everyone in your family and a hat,bellypouch or small backpack, sunscreen. We have forgotten these things in the past. A million dollars. Oh wait we never had that. But could use it to buy all those souviers.

 

[Humpbacks1962]

My hat. But I used it as an excuse to buy me a new one!

I am so glad I read this. I didn't even think about the cell phone charger. I don't plan to use the phone unless there is an emergency but I was going to check it at night for messages.

When we left for the Disney Cruise, I forgot all my good jewelry that I had planned to wear with my new dresses for dinner. I had to buy some new stuff (necklace and a few pairs of earrings) at Downtown Disney before we left for the port. I made out pretty good, though.

Once on a business trip, I left all my underpants at home. Luckily I found a store nearby (and I had a car) to buy more.

 

[mark & sandra]

I bought my DH some new shorts & pants for our trip, I forgot to pack any belts and just figured we'd buy a new one at disney. Did you know that there was no place to buy any in disney? We checked every store we passed in disney and in downtown. Finally we drove over to Walmart and got one. BTW, wouldn't you know it, on our last day we found a store in Epcot ( Mexico ) that had plenty.

 

[juicefruit00]

i am getting so many good idea's here. My cell phone, my washer machine. My pink water shoes. LOL. my newspapers, for sure. I am so happy to be getting so many good answers here. I have 8 more days to go. Am i forgetting anything else?

 

[castmbr]

Deb & Bill - Glad to hear I am not the only one to forget my underwear (except of course for the pair I left in)! I made sure the kids and dh had theirs packed but forgot mine! Thank goodness for Walmart!
