Something you wish you would have packed?

For cruise bride I'd say bring an extension cord as there is only one plug in the room, and in you have balcony room bring a bungee cord to keep the door open overnight.

I also bring a travel bottle of febreze to freshen the room up...

I honestly don't bother with my straightner anymore. My hair is thick and wavy so it just gets all fuzzy and yucky with the humidity when I try to straighten it. It just takes up room in the suitcase for nothing! lol

LOL I agree Lisa!! I didn't bother for our 2 week stay to bring it...

I would have brought more Advil. I only had about 10, and they charge an arm and a leg at the resort. Luckily our mothers were arriving 5 days after us and brought me a whole bottle! I had injured my ankle so needed a lot more than originally anticipated...

Thank you all for this thread. It really helped me with my packing.

 

I was prepared for every part of our trip. We were there for 11 days and I had everything I needed except not enough of the following.

 

The one type item I didn't pack enough (I only brought a couple) but fortunately had family coming a few days later so they brought them to me was enough Sarongs and cover ups. I should of brought every one I had because I lived in bathings suits, flip flops, and sarongs every day during the day from the time I got up till we wanted to go to dinner.

 

The couple I had was not enough because things had a problem drying in Cancun. AND I had a problem putting on cold wet items first thing in the morning.

This is a great thread, does anyone else have any more ideas of must bring things?

[RonNMel]

Awesome thread. I like being prepared.

Bug spray is a good one!! I bought 2 bottles at the hotel and paid way too much.

 

Ivory bar soap was also a lifesaver....great for getting stains out of dresses!!

It would be OFF! insect repellent!!! Several of us got attacked by the vicious bugs.
