First trip away with newish DP - what to take?

So, me and newish man are off for a week’s holiday abroad this weekend and I’m very excited 😁

I’ve made a list of what to take - all the usual - but wondering if there’s stuff I haven’t thought of that might be nice/useful/good to have. We’re in our 50s so relatively sensible 😂

It’s a city destination not beach. I’ve just bought a speaker do we can have some music in our room!

Adapter plug. (That's what I forgot last time despite being very organised with all sorts of electrical items! 🙄)

Barlie, brilliant yes thank you!

I always take an adaptor and a 4 way extension lead, that way I cam plug everything in

I always take my power bank and ear plugs everywhere.

Condoms. Dodgy belly may be risky if you rely on the pill.

Corkscrew. iPad (in case you decide to Netflix & chill - also see condoms above).

Lube.

Everything everyone else has said.

Comfortable shoes, nothing is worse than feet hurting!

Sunscreen because being burnt certainly will cramp your style after darkGrin

A rechargeable handheld fan (Amazon) could be a godsend if it's hot.

Bennyhillwasshite · 19/07/2023 22:03

Excellent suggestions, thanks, especially corkscrew, ear plugs oh and lube. No need for condoms, thankfully!

A plug in mosquito killer thingy. Lying in bed scratching might kill the vibe

Hi @Bennyhillwasshite i would put a tweezer in my make up bag (for stray hairs, i get the odd one!) and perfume.
Have a lovely time xx ☀️❤

Massage oil - for tired feet and bodies and also otherwise.

Breakfast dresses! Something pretty & easy to through on to go down for breakfast before you get ready fir whatever you are doing that day!
Plus flip flops or Bernie's!
