Icmeler Online Holiday Forum & Reviews - Turkey

Small bottle opener - so you can have you efes on the balcony
I also take some old cutlery with me, were not self catering, but sometimes it's nice to buy the bread rolls and salad stuff to have in your room, but it's a pain when you realise you have nothing to cut or spread with.

All updated, some things are on the Extra's Holiday List

Col

You forgot your cat food

Steve

I buy that over there in Tansas

Big velco rollers, well they are essential to me
Forgot them last year and the first thing we did was try to find some. Got help from ICR offices where a turkish lady told me the name for them was bigodi. I was convinced I wouldn't find any but guess what? Got them in the first pharmacy we tried. Then my holiday could begin.
Was thinking I'd have to cut up the empty loo roll holders and use those

The kids, the wife, me.
Wife takes the kitchen sink.
I pack 4 t shirts, 2 pairs of shorts, toothbrush, money, mask and snorkel - thats it foe me.

Lurpak butter and a pint of milk, because I don't enjoy my tea with Turkish milk.

Oust air freshener(I just love the smell)
Sponges for washing up
And a few packets of Angel Delight (for OH)

I take prescription swimming goggles, it`s no good swimming in a pool or snorkeling if you cant see anything.

Anti-histamines - because I get bitten every year, usually at arrivals since I always pack the SSS and forget to use it on the way out!!

Hi Collete,
Thank you for posting the list of "Essential Items we take on Holiday". I am planning for my holiday in Switzerland and even booked the tickets. This information will be helpful to me when I shall be out for holidays.

i always make sure i have safety pins and plasters...you never know if/when you're going to have a warderobe malfunction and would be in desperate need of a sefety pin!!!

Definitely taking an umbrella, just been watching the webcam when it was torrential rain, looks like its clearing now. But I'm not taking any chances, first time I've ever taken an umbrella with me but its in the holdall as we speak!

Wellies, rain mac

One of those scrunchy shower "nets" - takes up no room at all, weighs nothing much and then just leave it behind!

I'm amazed that people take this much stuff away with them.

well I dont know!! has anyone got any room in their baggage for clothes?

A large wallet is all i take the wife takes everthing else .That includes me

My Goodness!!!
Do you have any room for other essentials like knickers etc or do you go commando?????

Barb

My tiny Kipling bag - it weighs practically nothing and is much like the Tardis, given the amount of stuff I can cram in it!
