I hate packing!

[beanie13]

Besides the obvious, what do I need to start packing for my trip? Help me!

Maybe I should make a list of the obvious too just so I don't forget anything >__<
Did I mention that I hate packing?

m(_ _)m Thank you! This list will totally help out!

I don't think my phone would work there so i'm not even going to bother taking it... or if I do, it will just be to keep track of time.

Call your phone company up - you might be surprised. If it works I don't recommend using it as it will be a complete ripoff, but it's nice to have just in case.

I'll just add to the list as things come to me:
-Make sure none of your fluids are full (moutwash, shampoos etc). Things get cold in a plane's luggage bay and water expands when it freezes - if you don't give it room to expand it'll find room
-Roll clothes don't fold them... it'll help with wrinkles
-If you find yourself without access to an iron, hang your clothes in the washroom while you take a hot steamy shower - not the best option to get out wrinkles, but it will help
-Wrap your water bottle in a spin or two of duct tape - works great as an emergency bandage, or to cover up blisters you'll get druing hours of sightseeing in fancy new shoes :o
-If you're going to be carrying a bag anywhere pack it now and take it to work for a week - is it comfortable? too heavy? etc... better to find out now
-Take lots of pics!!!

That's all I can think of right now :o
