A selection of nail varnish and remover, like to do my nails while topping up the tan, and easier to do toe nails relaxing on your sun lounger

Small bottle of Zoflora (rose fragrance) and a cloth.

A top which covers your arms, incase you get sunburn and need to cover up for a day or so!

Also, a pashmina or scarf for warmth on the plane.

good idea jools
its annoying when your trying to get ready at night and if your sunburnt you have no clothes that cover you enough

High enough factor sun cream then you will not need that extra top girls

[sanjo]

I always take some string and a few pegs so I can hang my underwear out on the balcony after I've washed it through.

Hard Boiled sweets to suck on take off, my ears pop something terrible and find it painful. But if I suck on a hard
boiled sweet on take off they don't pop.

Remember when they used to bring them round while taxying, obviously cutting costs so stopped doing it.

Good idea! I'll be packing those to go with me!

[Not the weakest link]

a tatty knocking about T shirt to put on in the pool if burning a bit too much.

Trying to find bog standard cheapo T shirt last year was a pain. Vince had to help out translating what we needed cos we'd forgot to pack one for youngest. Cos all the others were designer fakes and too dear for what we needed.

pumps for your feet if going on jeep safari, flip flops dont work if walking in those rivers over pebbles.

Jelly shoes
Travel weighing scales
sealable plastic bag for any small toiletries when going through passport control.
Toaster bags if self catering
Proper cheese
travel insurance docs (forgot them one year)
hand held fan
small electric fan (space permitting)

What a fab list so far, no wonder we're all tipping the scales when we fly out. lol.
