Right, I have a week left to try and think of everything I'll need for when I go away.

I've got the obvious-summer clothes, shoes, sun cream etc

Can anyone think of anything else I might need-I know I'll end up forgetting stuff! Razz

Costa Dorada for 2 months.

Was quite funny on my training course because our trainer advised us to go to the family planning clinic and get as many condoms as we could! Laughing

My quick-pack list goes like this:

Essentials
* Passport
* Money/credit cards
* Travel insurance docs
* Hotel confirmation (if you have booked a hotel) (which I invariably haven't, LOL)

Clothes
* Knickers x 3; Bra x 3 (matching)
* Spare knicker/bra set, slightly saucier variety (just in case ya get lucky)
* Jeans
* T-shirts x 2
* Tracky bottoms
* Posh dress (see item 2 in this list) (but usually I end up wearing):
* Sarong (dead useful, hides a multitude of sins, and reveals the same multitude when it suits, too)
* Trainers
* Flip flops
* Nice heels (see spare knicker/bra set)
* Socks (for comfort on flight)

Other stuff
* Moisturiser
* Anti frizz serum (!)
* Lipstick
* Mascara/eyeliner
* Toothbrush
* Contact lenses/solution/specs
* Shades

Ready to go!

What you have to do is PACK, then go back thru and chuck out at least a third of what you have packed, cos you will never use it.
Even with the above list, I've been known to edit the contents of my suitcase. Depends on how long you're going for, though, cos I see you're going for two months, so you might like to add a few more items Smile

Its dead good if you can get it all into your handbag and a flight bag, cos then you can just go Carry On, and don't have to worry about standing round in the stupid bloody baggage halls. Makes ya feel like an air hostess, zipping thru Passport Control and straight out to Arrivals.

That's cos you can get em for free from the FPC. I remember filling my pockets with condoms from the exam room I was left in (for what seemed like HOURS, isnt that always the way?) ... and then snuck in the next room and filled my pockets with the condoms in there as well.

Never did use em Rolling Eyes met the current Mr Hellkat quite soon afterwards instead Rolling Eyes

Nowadays, I just pick them up off the dressing tables at work. Working girls ALWAYS have zillions of condoms. I often get home and find them in my pocket from where I've been picking up after the lazy mares. Condoms, baby lotion and KY, perks of my job Shocked Nice.

Thats the SHORT list, dude. And I CAN get that lot into a flight bag to carry on.

You'd be surprised how much more most girls pack Shocked

Hairdryers, curling tongs, 12 pairs of shoes, 24 different varieties of hair product Rolling Eyes etc etc ad nauseum.

You could always go to France . . . I know of a Virago rider not a million miles from me who's looking for a pillion/companion, and now you're single, you'd be a very welcome addition hmmmmmmmmmmm riding shotgun.

that was a very naughty thing to think hellkat..... well done Very Happy

Chances of it happening are slimmer than my bank balance though, I've fought that one off before.

Had a hectic year this year with diesel, lots of rallies and stuff, so taking a wee bit to let me credit cards cool down.

Normal service will be resumed next year.
