HM packing list... everyone add something!

Ok I had an idea this morning, that we could start a HM things to bring thread and then just look it up when it is time to pack.
Everyone add something, with all of the 05ers, we are sure to cover all the bases right?

I'll start:

bathing suits

Re: HM packing list... everyone add something!

Here's a complete 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
Traveler's checks
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)
Phone numbers for your credit card companies (in case your cards are lost or stolen)
Prescription medicine (in the original bottle)
Contraception
Light sweater (for the plane, which can get cold)
And....if you simply must take valuable jewelry, wear it or take it in your carry-on, don't put it in any luggage to be checked

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)
1 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.)
A small money belt or fanny pack to hold cash, credit cards, etc. - be sure to wear it in the front
Guidebook (but you may not need the whole book - you can just tear out pages for only what you're interested in)
Electrical converter/adapter (only if going outside of the US and you need items like a hairdryer, battery charger for a camcorder, etc.)

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
Contact lens and re-wetting solution, storage case
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)

Optional Items: (many hotels provide these, but check to be sure)

Shampoo and conditioner
Body lotion
Hair dryer
Shower cap
Alarm clock

Convenient Extras (nice to have, but not necessary):

Extra pair of glasses/contacts, asthma inhaler, and the like

Compact umbrella or rain ponchos

Very Important - Leave these items with family or close friends before you go:

I went to a sex toy party last week and was told that you should put your 'toys' in a clear ziplock back in your CHECKED luggage....don't want that getting yanked out of your carry on luggage!!!!!
