I used to check on nice clothes for a night out and thelike. Now, for e, I have to check twice that my pills and glasses are there. I also put my camera inside my suitcase: I like to have my hands free to manage other problems, should they arise.
What is your most important item? Why is ir so important? Do you think importance changes throughout life?

Traveling needs lot of plan and should be in a streamlined way otherwise many items can be forgotten.
On traveling several occasions I gained lot of experience -Hence I have a separate suitcase filled with all the necessary items.
Therefore, I am prepared to move at any time without hesitation as everything is ready.

That´s amazing, my friend! But I don´t think I could do that as there are a lot of items I use everyday.
Thanks for sharing,. Maybe I should do in part what you do.

Used to be female products. Now it's my cell phone and camera chargers and any medication. If we're going to Hawaii it's also my snorkeling equipment. Most other things can be replaced if necessary.

It seems that your choice is getting to be like mine, dawn.lol

I sure hope u have a big ol' time.cheering. I haven't packed a bag in 5 years & that was to go to the hospital for surgery.thumbdown u know i don't get around much. lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

I went to the doctor today and he "ordered" me to visit the hot springs nearby.lol. I told him he didn´t need say that: I was going to do it anyway.wink


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)  2 years ago

He didn't know that was right up your alley, huh? Why did he want u to visit them?


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

He knew where I was going and the part of the country is full of hot springs. And hot springs are great for joint repair.lol
Maybe I could persuade you to come to Chile. Or, if it´s too far, to join me in Colorado. Lots of hot springs there too.happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)  2 years ago

I hope they make u feel better. I could use some joint relief myself. U know i'm not going anywhere but thanks for asking.thumbup

Hi my dear friend. I always have to make sure I have my daily disposable contact lenses. It is important I take a small mirror with me so I can see to put in my lenses into my eyes. Without my lenses I wouldn't be able to see any sites. I have to use one pair of lenses each day. So it is important that I take enough contact lenses to last my trip. I check that I have my vitamin pills. Taking my toothpaste is very important to me. I wouldn't be able to buy the sort of toothpaste I use elsewhere. When I was in my teens and early twenties I made sure I packed my prescription glasses and my sunglasses with my prescribed lenses in. It was in Australia that I got my contact lenses at the age of 21 years old. Hugs, Maxine.

Hi maxine,
My therapist is going to have eye surgery while I´m on my vacation. Have you inquired if you could have one? It seems that for certain eye problems it is a very good choice.
Take care!hugs

My husband is Diabetic so I make sure that my husband has his medication. I always make a list of the things we need to pack and check things off as they go in the suitcase to make sure I have not forgotten anything. If I do not have a list it is hard for me to keep things organized.


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

Medication is for me the first priority and has been for a long time. Thanks for sharing!

i can't remember what is the usual thing that i put in to my suitcase before closing it. i can't remember cause i seldom travel now and the last time i did was two years ago. i travel alone at that time. but trying to recall the thing, i guess, the last thing or things i put in, were toothbrush, paste and deodorant. have a nice day Neil


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

Those are most important things as you never know if there is going to be a place nearby to buy them at the point of your destination.

I hope you have a great time on your triphave a nice day! I haven't been anywhere in 11 years. When I did travel, I always made a list of the things I was going to take and I would check them off the list as I put them in my suitcase. The most important things I would make sure were in there were my deodorant, toothbrush, and toothpaste. I'm sure you know why I need these things, lollol! I also make sure I have my night and facial creams because my skin is very dry. I have a very sensitive skin and I have to make sure I pack my Dove Soap. I have to have some kind of antacid because I have acid reflux. I didn't think about this when I went on that last trip and I had to buy some somewhere. I also have to make sure I have my eye drops because my eyes are very dry. I could probably pack my Restasis Eye Drops but my Systane Eye Drops, I could carry out. Kathy.


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

Thanks Kathy! I´m sure I´ll have a good time. But you´ll know about it because I´m taking my camera with me.happy


myLot reputation of 99/100. cyrus123 (3255)   ranked 26 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

I forgot to mention that I make sure my medicines are in my suitcase, too. Kathy.

i love travelling... i dont like the time spent sitting on a plane or waiting for a bus and etc. though... other than that its all good. i love the planning whether i only have a short time to research about the place im going or if i have enough time to research all the places and such. i like to plan on what to bring as well, maybe i got that from my father when he used to tell me to pack all of the clothes he picked out to be placed in his bag when he used to go on business trips. although i havent travelled to a lot of countries i feel that it all has to go back to the basics with 1 or 2 extra things be it clothes, undies or shampoo just in case. i recently found this energizer travel charger which was awsome! coz i could charge my nokia phone anytime and anywhere. but after using it a few months it broke! so sad! so these days when i travel the last things i check in my suitcase would be chargers for phone and camera. and extra sd cards. hehe.. and lastly my cellphone.. the invention of internet connection on a cellphone is god sent... no need to carry and fear about laptops being stolen when travelling just to keep in touch with loved ones while im away. hehehe


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

Tahnks for sharing, katbalu. You reminded me to check on the camera bateries and put the charger in the suitcase. Thanks!happy

The Underwear...its critical!!! and sometimes so forgettable!!

Put in first on the list!


myLot reputation of 98/100. marguicha (10884)   ranked 2 out of 5,016 in travel  2 years ago

I take all the underwear I will need if it´s a short trip. I don´t like to wash and there are many places that will not have a washer and drier. Not that I use a drier at home, but I have where to put my wet clothes.
