Re: HM packing list?
The list I worked off of:
Honeymoon Packing List In Your Carry On Bag:
Airline tickets or e-ticket confirmation Passport/visas/driver's license Credit cards (take only those you'll need) Hotel/theater reservation fax confirmations Photocopies of all of the above, plus a photocopy of related medical and/or trip insurance coverage and prescriptions (leave the copies in the room safe or the hotel's main safe if there isn't one in your room) Prescription medicine (in the original bottle) Contraception Light sweater (for the plane, which can get cold)
HER things to pack (this is enough for a week - adjust for a different duration if needed, and for destination, activities, season):
1 pair jeans or khakis (for casual evenings that may be chillier than days) 1 light jacket or pullover (take one that can be tied around the waist or stuffed in a backpack) 1 nice sundress 1 evening cocktail dress 1 nice cardigan-style sweater (for chilly restaurants) 4 casual shirts (T-shirts, tank tops, short-sleeve button-downs, etc.) 2 pairs shorts 2 swimsuits (bikini for the beach, one-piece for water sports) 1 swimsuit cover-up (pareos work great and can double as a shawl in the evenings) 1 pair comfortable walking shoes/sandals (you may wind up walking a bit if you go sightseeing) 1 pair evening shoes/sandals 1 evening purse Extra socks and underwear Bras (don't forget a strapless one if you've packed a top or dress that needs it) Accessories (scarves and jewelry to 'stretch' your wardrobe)
HIS things to pack (again, adjust for trip duration, destination, activities, season):
1 pair jeans or khakis 1 pair nice slacks 1 light jacket or pullover (take one that can be tied around the waist or stuffed in a backpack) 4 casual shirts (T-shirts or short-sleeve button-downs) 2 pairs shorts 2 polo or button-down short-sleeve shirts 1 sports jacket (for nicer restaurants) 1 tie (rolled up it won't take up much room, some restaurants require them) 2 swimsuit 1 pair comfortable walking shoes or sandals 1 pair nice shoes - even black sneakers can look good with slack & a sportcoat Extra socks and underwear
For Both of you:
Camera (disposable cameras are much more expensive at vacation spots) Extra film or memory for digital cameras Sunscreen and lip balm Sunglasses Sun hat or baseball cap Paperback books (you can leave them in the hotel library once you've read) A canvas beach bag or lightweight daypack (you'll want something big enough to hold a bottle of water, your camera & sunscreen, etc.) Guidebook (but you may not need the whole book - you can just tear out pages for only what you're interested in)
Basic Toiletries (remember - use travel-sized containers whenever possible):
Toothpaste Toothbrushes Deodorant Cosmetics Make-up remover Cotton balls and swabs Comb/brush Hair gel/spray Nail file/clippers/emory file Shaving cream Razors Hair accessories - clips, headbands, etc. Buy or pack a small first-aid kit that contains: * Insect repellent (and anti-itch cream for the bugs that break through) * Band-Aids * Aspirin * Antacid * Antihistamine * Diarrhea medicine * Motion sickness medicine * Aloe vera * Tampons/pads (besides the expense, they can be hard to find outside the US) Shampoo and conditioner Body lotion Shower cap
Convenient Extras (nice to have, but not necessary):
Ziploc bags (all sizes; use for packing wet swimsuits or protecting camera and film when it rains) Earplugs Shout Wipes (instant stain-treater towelettes) Anti-bacterial liquid or lotion Visine 1 pair workout sneakers and 2-3 workout outfits if you plan on visiting the resort's gym or jogging on the beach Compact umbrella or rain ponchos
Very Important - Leave these items with family or close friends before you go:
Your itinerary and hotel phone numbers Photocopies of your passport, credit cards, and traveler's check receipts
