Ditch the towels.

Drying towels will be provided, and if its an all inclusive hotel in Tenerife, I would assume sunbed towels will be provided or will be available for a very low fee - Could always call ahead to find out?
Will save loads of weight in the suitcase!

Enjoy - I will be there in September

What restriction?

[Raffles]

Ditch the PJ's as well. You won't be needing them in a hot place like Tenerife. It may also be a good idea to avoid any knife carrying Bulgarians that are claiming to be Prophets of God.

I found it helpfull to write down which chargers you needed.
Ipod,Phone,Laptop ect ect
Last minute packing for me results in leaving one kind behind -

All inclusive, you should get all washing stuff - take tooth paste and tooth brush.
Some clothes and any any electronics you want.

Consider taking your licence, in case you want to hire a bike (or car, if either of you have the licence.)

Mozzie spray? I don't know what Tenerife is like as I've never been. But Greece is a ball ache for women for mozzie bites.

I just seem to be used as a landing strip to fuel up before they attack the missus.

As said, ear plugs if you want night time sleep and your in hotel near las americas! Clubs over there are fantastic if your interested in the night life. The strip is a little wierd and it was expensive when we went so ge the evening club rebs to 'play off against each other' for cheaper/more booze

Also, insects and ants can be a problem. We stayed near laguna park 2 and its up some crazy a** hill. Not fun when one decides to stay out till 7am!

Also wear pretty much what you want in the clubs

I was noted that in some dinners at the Hotel we shouldn't wear shorts. Formal almost.

What the can of stuff can I wear that I won't boil in?

I would presume the dining area would be decently air conditioned on that basis - but light weight white cotton trousers would be the 'colonial' thing to do. Make sure they're appropriately ironed .

[oldpink]

ditch all the shampoo, conditioner etc buy them locally you get the usual stuff we get here in Spanish supermarkets
and saves you hassle at the airport with liquids at security and generally cheaper

I tend to travel light and buy local, T shirts for a couple of Euro's same for shorts
that way I don't have a lot of luggage, for a 16 day trip to spain recently
I took 3 T shirts, 2 shorts, couple of pair socks & pants 2 pair of jeans
and a couple of jumpers for night

Come on, surely you can work out what to take on holiday for yourself? What happens to the new generation of people who have to ask everyone else what to do in every situation when all the oldies die out, is that the end of the human race?

She went on about bringing a book to read. She loves fiction.

I can't stand reading fiction.

Only remote reading material I have is my Haynes manual. Tempted to bring that.

I'm another voter for travelling light, just buy cheap T's and shampoo etc, when you get there; given that we live in a global market these days, even if you can't find the exact name, you'll spot familiar packaging in the supermarkets, so you won't go without.

You will struggle to get a decent cup of tea though, so take a few tea bags, if they don't break current customs regulations.

Regards the all inclusive dining, you normally get a choice of at least two dining rooms; one will be chav city (chips and beans with everything, T shirts and shorts, lots of kids screaming because their skin is falling off with sunburn) and the other will be more upmarket, with a better menu and a formalish dress code (shirt and trousers).

Tenerife is a bit 'party central' so it's mainly clubs/bars, shops and sunbathing/swimming pools, the only worthwhile bit of sightseeing is the volcano, Mount Teide; from memory, the peak is around 13000 feet above sea level and you get a cable car half way, then walk the rest.

Well worth the trip (take a light jumper and some half sensible shoes for the walk) because of the spectacular view, but don't venture round any narrow paths on the edge; it gets a bit windy up there and it's an effing long way down!!!!!!!!!

Also, check out the hot chocolate/brandy concoction at the cable car base station, it's worth going just for that

I like the place so much, I've been there half a dozen times and I'm planning to emigrate there in the not too distant future, so enjoy.

i travel quite a lot and before i leave the house i check 'PPTW'

Phone
Passport
Ticket / itinary
Wallet (Euros, dollars & credit cards)

I have a small 'man bag' for all these so even if my back pack goes missing /stolen should be ok

Obviously, I pack other stuff but you're screwed if you rock up to check-in with no passport or arrive somewhere with no cash or cards...

Most airports won't allow more than 100ml in hand-baggage so make sure you checkin all your lotions and potions ...or they'll be confiscated.

[CaNsA]

Dont need to take any of this crap, considering you can only take a small amount incase you are a plane blower upper.
Buy it when you get there.
