Re: Vacation Essentials

Re: Vacation Essentials

I would suggest:

Clothes

Edit: Unless you are going to a nudist camp of course, in which case you already have the sunscreen so you are good to go.

Re: Vacation Essentials

Re: Vacation Essentials

Yes, I am guessing that clothes would be a good idea too.

Re: Vacation Essentials

Baby oil - for the last sunbathing day!!

are you serious? I haven't heard of someone tanning with baby oil since the 80's (before we had any idea about the whole UV thing). You're a brave woman LOL!!

One tip I heard once that really works well: rolling your clothes up rather than folding them before you put them in the suitecase. Sounds strange, but you get far less wrinkles!

I also recommend:

Immodium - diarreah medication...just in case!!
Safety pins
Aside from that I think Jane pretty much covered everything you would ever need to travel anywhere!!!!

Re: Vacation Essentials

lmao yeah, shes over-prepared for sure!

i am a roller packer anyhow! definitely works but the travel iron is coming just in case!

I'm a baby oil girl too...

safety pins, good point!

Re: Vacation Essentials

Re: Vacation Essentials

Oh yes the diarreah tabs!! lol Oh and the tablets for making you "go" too!! lol

My aunt always takes her own toilet paper, incase the stuff in the hotel isnt "soft enough"!!! lol

I've never used the baby oil Jen!! lol But my uncle used it!! he doesnt burn at all!!! I'd be near cremated if I used it!!! lol

[*Emma*]

Re: Vacation Essentials

yeah i very rarely burn, i'd say never BUT i burnt my butt on the sunbed last night, prolly cos i did 70 mins over the last 3 days OOPS!

ive never burned naturally in the sun so, bring on the baby oil!

Re: Vacation Essentials

When i was a teen i covered myself in baby oil and lay out for an hour..was bedridden for 2 days with sunstroke...foolish girl. I'm still a bit of a sunworshipper, but the most daring i get is to lie out without any protection...but wouldn't go near the oil again!
