Wow, that is the longest list I've ever seen! We're going to try for two carry-ons for our ten night stay this summer!!

well said Captain Oil. I'm off to take 1/2 the stuff out of my suitcase....

4 more sleeps...soon come!

LOL...yall just hush up about my list!!! AHAHAHA!!!

I have serious OCD issues and I usually use everything that I bring and I NEED clothing/shoe/accessory choices!!! I hate to repeat wearing clothes during a vacation and laundry (other than to get out a spot) is totally out of the question.

This year me and my travel partners are sending down some things in a barrel and I will probably STILL overpack my luggage...I know it's a shame!!!

One Luv
Luvs

P.S. I am happy to see that my lists were found helpful!!! thanks Vikesinja and Mrs.Wilson

Hey Luv -- it was YOUR list! Well it always makes me smile when I read it. And you go gurl!! I too like my accessories etc. Only diff is I obviously don't go out at night and actually don't leave the beach much. When you you go this year? I'd love to meet you -- though I don't have dates yet, if I can make it will be in Feb. One love, Nancy Wilson

I think they mean an exchange rate cheat sheet to carry in your pocket like can be printed at this web site and others.
