But what if you pack dressy things and everyone there is in sweats? What if you pack sweats and everyone else looks fab? Who cares if your going to Alaska? Bring a bathing suit.... I brought three suitcases on my last trip. Help me.

I tend to fall asleep, whether traveling by plane, train, or automobile.

The bus driver every time I get on the bus: "What you got in the suitcase? Bricks?" Me: "Yeah, I don't trust there will be a house where I'm going so I'm bringing my own." He laughs and I buy my ticket. Every time for the last 10 years.

Or you put it on and realize the reason you never wore it was something annoying like the neckline tended to shift around too low (meaning you were constantly adjusting it all day), or the armpit area was just a little too tight, or the shorts were just a little too short for your liking

Love this!

That's what I would call overkill.

I understand the 3 books for the plane. Everyone knows, the faster you go the faster you read.

Spoken like a true Mom! It comes from having kids, especially when they are toddlers or babies, it's a necessity to being Extra, EXTRA changes of everything.

It's the one time you don't bring it, that the hotel won't have one. Lol

We took our (at the time)9 month old from Auckland to Munich. I packed 1 nappy per flight hour, 1 change of clothes per 2 flight hours, and enough baby food for 3 days (flights + 1 day in case if delay), he was breastfed but also had formula... everyone thought I was crazy. Until we turned up in Germany with no extra food (plane "forgot" to fulfill our request for baby friendly meals) and a huge bag of laundry (because, you know, babies!)

This is me depending on the guy I'm with or my goals of the vacation at random. Lol

I would be embarrassed if I had to walk around with this thing.

A "virgin cocktail" dress :)

He also might need an additional suitcase to bring that stuff back home.

I exercise more on vacation, because I have the free time. Going to yoga classes in new cities is great. And going for a run is an awesome way to learn your way around a new place.

All are needed

This gives me severe paranoia. I am not thankful for that but thanks.

Same!

The SHOES are my problem. Men don't understand why you can't take just two pairs of shoes on vacation.

once i overpacked my suitcase for a 2 week trip on a freight ship. I wasn't even able to lift it from the floor. Oh boy.

I only use Noxema. Don't mess with a sure thing I always say.

This is a great idea. Trust nothing in a hotel room. I wonder if they make travel-sized electric kettles.... they do! Collapsible ones. I will get one for my next trip... in 4 years when it is safe to fly on an airplane.

We all expect to reinvent ourselves through a vacation.

LOL "Are you moving?" When someone asks you that, you know you've over packed.

Always pack your meds in your carry on!

Exactly

Those giraffes have gorgeous eyelashes, no competition!

When I was around 7 years old my family went on a week long camping trip. Mom packed my suitcase, but I needed more room for all my books so I took all my clothes out and replaced them with books. My mom and dad couldn't do anything but laugh.

Ok but the swimsuits just in case is actually important though. You never know the sadness of not bringing a swimsuit because it's going to be an average of 5°F and then the hotel has an indoor pool. Especially when your family can swim because they're boys and can just wear their quick-dry shorts...

hmm, i wonder what word was blurred out. guess it'll stay a mystery
