What am I going to forget when I pack?

[thestatusquo]

I'm leaving tomorrow to go to Colorado to do some volunteer work at a summer camp for kids for about a month. Help remind me DUers: What's essential?

[radfringe]

1. your own pillow

never leave home without it

[shoelace414]

2. Don't forget

If you forget something you can buy it when you get there.

that little tidbit of knowledge makes packing so much easier.

[thestatusquo]

4. Actually, I can't

I can't leave the property once I get there, and it's out in the middle of nowhere anyway

[shoelace414]

6. in that case

don't forget your head. (if it's not attached)

[Misunderestimator]

3. I know what I'd pack

but I'm not telling... :)

[xchrom]

19. i'd take mine too

you don't have to tell}(

[Misunderestimator]

20. LOL

[prolesunited]

22. Just make sure

23. I don't need no stinkin' batteries...

8. Directions to get where you're going, and Plan B

Whether it's directions to the camp itself, or just to where you're going to meet someone to take you there, make sure you know how to get there, and have a number you can call in case something goes wrong (and, if need be, enough change to make the call from a pay phone).

[Parrcrow]

9. Your hairbrush

its what I always forget to pack. :silly:

Have fun!!!:bounce:

[TXlib]

10. Don't forget to bring a towel.

Wanna get high?

[JHB]

11. Proper clothing

I don't know how much the day/night temperature varies, or likelihood of dry vs. wet weather, but YOU should (ask if you don't already know), and pack to handle whatever may hit you (plus a little margin of error).

[LisaM]

12. An extra pair of contact lenses (if you wear them)

water shoes
extra socks
small thing of laundry soap
conditioner (no one ever has it anymore)
a diary and extra pens
stamps
small flashlight
extra feminine products and liners
something to dress up in
books
sunscreen
extra comb

[Flaxbee]

13. great list!

I ALWAYS forget my nightgown. ALWAYS. So, remember yours.

Also, I'm a total germ-phobe, so I carry a small thing of lysol or other cleaner as well as antibacterial hand-wipes.

Bring kleenex and antihistamine, too, if you're prone to allergies. If you said you'll be camping, then perhaps a small jar of Calmine lotion and/or Neosporin ointment for cuts/scrapes, and bandaids. The facility will probably have all that, but I always like to have my own stash.

Extra swimsuit, maybe?

And extra batteries for your small flashlight...

[Flaxbee]

14. oh, maybe a pocket knife, too...

one that has tweezers for splinters, small scissors and a small knife.


And I have to also agree with the extra towel (hand/washcloth and body towel) and your own pillow.

[emulatorloo]

[AVID]

17. flip flops (really . . .flip flops)

21. earplugs

25. good books and the clip on night lamps. and after years of

travelling, I ALWAYS have a spare roll of toilet paper...

[Marnieworld]

26. Scrunchy? Deodorant(The worst!) Floss

Man, I ALWAYS forget them.
