Yes, "have toothbrush, will travel", LOL. Well, for me it's my electric toothbrush but I always have a small, travel one, in my purse, with toothpaste, because I need a bright and shiny smile!!

Do you have a travel-size electric toothbrush? I know you can buy a battery operated toothbrush!

I have been traveling a lot this summer. I think the one thing I like to take with me the most is MY pillow. I really like MY pillow, and take it on all trips.

I can't leave home without my Slinky pants or T-shirts. They are super comfortable and easy for traveling. I have to bring my own pillow for the car ride. And plenty of toys and car games for my daughter. She gets bored looking out the window. And of course, clothing and provisions for the family. Other than that, my biggest concern is snacks, juice, water and food. Those can be bought along the way.

I guess for me it depends on where I am going for my list. I have to have the normal stuff clothes, money, hair products, mouth products, shower stuff, but if I am going to the beach I also need sunscreen, beach towels, ect. If we are going by plane I need less stuff usually to save on the hassle at the air port. By car I have to have the DVD player and movies for the kids lol. That is a car travel life saver.

Well, there are a couple of things that I have to have with me when I travel. First of all, my comb and toothbrush. Second of all, is my pillow. I always take it when I travel as I can't stand to sleep on other ones. I like the firmness of mine and I sleep better when I take it.

Hi There, My girlfriend says I travel with way too many things! I pack tons of stuff whenever I go away. Other than the normal things such as a brush or toothbrush, I could not possibly go without my fan. I put my fan on every night as it helps me sleep. I do not only use it for the heat, but I like the noise. cheers,

When taking a trip, I must have my iPod, a good book by a favorite author that I haven't read yet, the latest People magazine, and breath mints. Of course, I also need all the other "basics" like clothing, make-up and toiletries when I travel. But these are my "must-haves" during the travel part of the trip, be it business-related or a vacation. PearlGrace

I can't leave without chapstick, travel size tissue, and travel size lotion. My lips are extremely sensitive and if I don't apply chapstick right away, I breakout and get cold sore. Lotion, - a must to keep with me all time. My hands are very sensitive to soaps. So after washing, I need to apply lotion . Or it starts to itch badly. Tissue, allergies - nasal allergies so a must for me. My daughter is a messy girl, so tissue on the go is perfect for us. I don't need to worry about make up kit, I don't have any.

Toiletries but I always bring a blow up mattress because I cannot sleep on some beds. I own a water bed and, unless it's a high end hotel with good mattresses, I prefer an air bed. I am sure the maids wonder why my bed is not slept in, sometimes. If I travel where I am not sure there will be enough pillows, I bring camping air pillows. This way I always have enough.

if it's bus travel,a little packet of kleenex. i can't tell you how many busses i've been on where they didn't restock the toilet paper. but in general-changes of clothes,makeup,hairspray and deodorant.and a soda if it's allowed on board.

I used to be one of those people that could throw the bare essentials into a bag and be on my way. You know, the exact right amount of clothes and toiletries I needed. I wish I could go back to those days! With a fifteen month old I now have to pack everything and the kitchen sink. I can't leave the house without a bad as big as mine packed for my daughter. I make lists days before to make sure I don't forget anything.

When I travel, I cannot leave without my cellphone. My cellphone will be a means of communication between me and my family. And I would want to know how they are doing while I'm away and of course, they would know how I am doing too.
