Anyone want to help me pack?

[katespade]

Because I need something to focus on to avoid freaking out. and I don't know how to travel.

Destination: Miami.
Purpose: Work Trip.
Timeframe: Sunday-Thursday.

What do I need to include on my packing list? What do you always forget to bring when you're traveling? What do you take as carry-on versus checked luggage?

Well a swimsuit, of course

Some snacks you know your stomach is good with.

Kindle/new book

Journal just in case something inspires you.

Your own pillow and favorite blanket.

Obviously clothes, toiletries, makeup vitamins, etc.

And you'll need a pedicure

amaranth - I already have a super cute one piece swimsuit, but I'm trying to decide if I should splurge on a bikini.

I like the idea of a pillow and/or blanket. I hadn't thought of that, but it would definitely be nice to have something from home.

Honestly I'd pack anything that would help with your anxiety, and make the trip easier.

Shampoo and conditioner unless you plan to use the hotel's

[katespade]

amaranth - Yes! I totally forgot about soap and a razor!

[katespade]

christy082 - Good call. I will definitely want to use my own. I'll have to look for some travel sized bottles I can put some in so I don't have to pack the whole bottles. I don't wash my hair every day, so I shouldn't need much.

ewall - I'm already doing searches for what kind of shopping is near my hotel. lol. I mean, I'm going to have to find a grocery store after I get settled in on Sunday, so I may as well check out some other shopping while I'm out!

[katespade]

ewall - I talked to my boss yesterday, and apparently she's a big fan of shopping. So now I have directions to all of the best malls and which days I should go to each of them. LOL.
