So I have just started packing for dd and I and it is super light - what have we forgotten?

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Going for a week in Greece.

Have packed -

beach towel each
all toiletries/suncream etc bar dd's makeup and my mascara
mozzie zapper stuff
plasters/headache tablets/tampons etc
3 pairs of shorts each
about 6 camis each
2 beach dresses and one sarong each
2 day dresses each
4 evening outfits each
2 cossies each
1 pair shoes each (and will have another pair each to travel!)
3 books each (and will then mix and match)
1 sunhat each
sleepwear
underwear

I like to travel light but have I forgotten anything obvious? Do we need anything else? Any spare capacity will ultimately be filled with more books!

to Greece, not in Greece

Hairdryer.
Beach bag.

Ooh holiday packing is exciting- have a great week!

Thank you. :) Beach bag is in the case already but weighs nothing. Don't think we'll bother with a hairdryer - it will do dd good to have to cope without a hairdryer and straighteners/curler for a week!

Sunglasses and camera will go in carry on bag. Flip flops = sorted.

Guide book = notes in a notebook, taken from the internet! Phrase book is a good idea - will get one tomorrow.

Stuff for a dodgy stomach?

Sounds good to me :) I've crossed reffed against my list and I also have phone + charger/kindle+charger/ipod+charger

Hairbands

Other than that, it's pretty much the same as mine (only I don't do 'evening' outfits :o)

evening bag?
jewellery?
passports?
tickets?

I've spent all day packing for 5 of us to go camping for a week in the UK - I'd have swapped my packing list for yours!

Evening outfits only means cotton skirts/dresses that won't be covered in sand - nothing dressy! Deffo won't need an evening bag either.

Stomach stuff - done

Hairbands - done

Tickets etc will be sorted and put into carry on bag tomorrow, as will dd's i-pod. Stupid question - how do you charge it when away? Normally she sticks it into the USB on the computer I think (techno-idiot alert).

The only jewellery I wear is an armful of bangles, and I'll be wearing them to travel in.

Do I need any more clothes?

Deck of cards

But Seventh - you can never have too many books (or even enough tbh)!

Cossies will dry really quickly on past experience and we're unlikely to need cardigans on past experience too - but will have one each from travelling there. Spent hours yesterday trying to find a bikini/cossie so deffo can't endure trying to do it again! We each have one bikini and one costume and I'll rinse them out each evening (aha: travel wash is what I've forgotten!).

Will shove a couple of light tops with sleeves in. Pack of cards too.

You can get a charger that plugs into the wall (get a UK one and a conversion plug - more useful long term)

Thanks DH. Have got a conversion plug - where does one buy a charger thingie?

And no, Seventh - that is NOT fun! Last year I ended up reading a Shopaholic book and an appalling Nikki French abomination when I'd finished all of my own THIRTEEN books.

Sorry - that sounded stroppy. I forgot to :)
