What could I be forgetting?

Okay, I feel like I am forgetting something in planning this trip.





My packing list looks good. I have the requisite number of swimsuits and flip-flops.





I have all travel confirmations, from car, to airline, to condo.





I have no real itinerary other than beach days, snorkeling, IAO plans, dining at Kimo%26#39;s, and shopping.





But I feel like I am forgetting something. There is this nagging little thing in the back of my head and I can%26#39;t get it to seep to the top. AGH. I hate this feeling.





12 more days til the day!



What could I be forgetting?


Just remember your drivers%26#39; license, costco card and Safeway card and you%26#39;ll be set. Camera?



You%26#39;ll remember anything else just as you pass the Clackamas Town Center on 205.



What could I be forgetting?


lots of moisturizer? Good books to read? Whatever you don%26#39;t havew you can always get it there, as long as you have your tickets and your ID. That%26#39;s the most important thing!




You will find that you need far less then you thought you would :) I lived in my Swim Suit and White skirt! Denim is not a good fabric choice for Hawaii.. so leave anything with it at home :) You can wear the same thing over again.. no one notices :) I didn%26#39;t need as many underwear as I brought.. since I usually wore my swim suit.



I vote for a good Book too... makes the flight go by fast! Oh and a pair of Keens...:)




There are many opportunities to buy whatever you forgot, if you don%26#39;t remember it before you leave . A quart size zip plastic bag to put your carry on 3 ounce or smaller liquid or gels is helpful as well as a packed big bottle of sunscreen. Any presciption meds?




Sunglasses? Hat? Scarf? Sunscreen? I always take binoculars, but mainly because we are there in whale season. Nothing that%26#39;s not cotton -- no poly stuff, nothing heavyweight. Your condo should supply beach towels, chairs, umbrella, cooler. You could make out your shopping list for the condo so you won%26#39;t wander around in a daze after a long flight. Bring some twists of spices, salt, whatever you cook with and some baggies so you won%26#39;t have to buy a huge supply of anything.




Ah, shopping list!!! What a great idea. And I had forgotten moisturizer on my list! Need the hemp seed oil stuff. Good thinking;)





Julaf~yep, that is about where I will remember anything I had forgotten! LOL!




nail clippers !! They double as scissors for any other shoe or clothing purchases. You don%26#39;t want to be using your teeth to pull off the tags. And they keep those toe nails under control. Shaver or other hair removal device.




Extra snacks for the plane in case you%26#39;re delayed.




My attitude when going to Maui is... Don%26#39;t worry about it. Just let it go. Anything you forgot can be fixed by a quick stop at WalMart or the local ABC store.



I%26#39;m just 3 weeks away.................

This may seem silly to some, but the most useful thing on my packing list is an extension cord. I have started to carry a cord on all trips after being frustrated many times with not enough or inconvenient outlets - saves trying to find the lone plug when charging my cell, my camera, my laptop, iPod, etc.
