What might I forget to pack?

I'm very busy in general so not had a a much time to be mindful about packing

Much needed holiday very early Saturday morning (well middle of the night still) and just finished packing enough clothes for a week. Need to find elusive denim shorts and haven't packed underwear.

What odd things might I forget? Or helpful thinks I could take. Week in med - forecast is sunny mainly but not hot. Not as easy to buy forgotten stuff as on a cruise.

Not packed hand luggage yet. Local airport direct flight so no overnight stay.

A small wallet

These are the things I forgot.

Strepsils
Paracetomol

a water bottle! it is great to be able to fill it with ice and water throughout the day, so that you don't need to face the crowds (if there are any) for just that.

Sanpro
Travel adapters
Eye mask
Melatonin
Wipes

It'll be cool in the evenings and possibly in the air conditioning.

Don't forget an adaptor plug. And ear plugs.

Last time I went away I forgot my knickers so had to wash them overnight.

FivePotatoesHigh · 20/10/2022 22:45

mrsjimhopper · 20/10/2022 22:48

@scrivette I hope you were only away for one night!

DH did this one time, he packed very last minute and just had the pair he was wearing. He had to hand wash them daily too. We thought it was only until we could buy some more but apparently men in Crete don't wear boxers. We have never let him forget it Grin

Don't forget your sunscreen OP

Lipstick, headphones, Apple ID password, nail file, tampons, condoms, bra, cardigan, plasters
