What's your secret packing tips?
I'm curious if other folks have certain things they pack that make their trip easier. Items one might not normally think to bring.
I have one, I always buy a couple travel size baby powders, and stick them in the beach bag. Easiest way to get sand off the body, it also helps when your sweaty and smelly, lol.
Anyone else have some ideas for me? Must haves I've never considered? Please share!
Awaiting our return to Negril, 07/01/12
I pack a couple of packages of travel size handi wipes. I have one for the plane and the other for Negril.

Large ziploc bags...they come in handy!
Yes to ziplock bags! I also pack a bunch! SLP- I have a pack of baby wipes packed, they do come in handy!
We always bring a couple of cheap floats to use and leave for someone else.
I always bring my good LED flashlight, nice to have for night time beach walks.
Wife buys the space bags that you can just roll up to get the air out, good for packing the big thick beach towels she has to have.
I have allot of things...Chrystal light w/electrolytes. Bounty paper towels. (They cost too much there. For many uses...) Ceramic paring knife for fruit. (Won't react and cause the fruit to go bad quickly.) Rechargeable batteries. (You can leave these with friends. They will need them due to power outages.) Thermal water bottle carrier. Cheap travel door alarms. (Never had a problem with break-ins, but doesn't hurt to have just in case.) And of course... Beer bottle cozy.
I have allot of other items I take to different vacation locations, and some I left out.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Fabric sheets for dresser drawers & a small bottle of Febreeze
I bring those sample size Woolite packs (one pack = 2 uses) and wash my bathing suits. Hang to dry and good to go!

I took the citronella tea candles burned one in the bath as a night light and lit one on the bedside table in the evening to fill the room with it. Came home, no mossies.
Ditto the little led flashlight. Mine had a wrist cord and I let it dangle with the light on as I walked the cliff road at night to let the drivers see me better.
Well you know some of the flights these daze can be long and with a layover or two you might want to bring something to drink,ie small airplane bottles of your fav. booze to add to that cola or H2O your going to buy and drink while waiting for your next flight.Every adult passenger is allowed 3 oz of distilled spirit`s per person,keep them in a 1 qt zip lock bag in your carryon bag and when you find yourself parched and want something more than just water or cola you can add one of your three bottles,making yourself a drink that does not cost 8$, works for us,just a thought!
