I always take far to much stuff, only wearing some things once or not at all.Going to Fuerteventura for 2 weeks in the middle of April with dh and dd 2. Hoping that it will be all low key and certainly no staying out late dancing.So far I have got my shoes down to 4 pairs, new clarks red suede ones for travelling to keep my toes warm,pool flip flops, leather flat type sandals? and a pair of tan wedges. Dh says 4 is to many, I beg to differ, help me keep the rest down please.

what do you need the wedges for?
wear the red ones to travel in, plastic ones for pool, leather flats for everything else. Or travel in the wedges.

I minimise packing by wearing stuff twice (ie come in from the pool and shower, put on clean dress for dinner, then wear same dress round town next day.)

usual packing list runs thus:

travel in:
linen trous
vest
l/s shirt
cardigan
shoes

pack:
1 other trous
wrap scarf thing
short skirt
long skirt
sarong
2 dresses
vests
2 s/s shirts
2 kaftanny things
pool flipflops
leather flipflops
underwear
2 bikinis

get laundry done after first week, including the l/s shirt and the trous to travel home in.

Excellent Mrs Badger I was wondering where you had gone, not seen you about much. I suppose Could easily do without the wedges, but have this irrational fear of getting bored with three pairs, but I will happily take your tips as I know from bitter experience that I always end up wearing the same ones.Thanks.

agree about the wedges, would also leave more space in your suitcase for the nice Spanish pair you can buy instead!

Don't ask me why I always take a pair of socks.
I like to have warm feet.
