Just for Fun ......

When you start packing what is the first thing(s) that you pack?

For me it is my sound machine & Pop-Up touch light !

Flip flops! Just puts my head in a good place :)

Extra contact lens.

Underwear.

bathing suits

All of my summery clothes -- I keep them in a special under-the-bed-storage-bag as, here in the UK, I RARELY have a chance to wear them otherwise. The shorts come out, tank tops, and swimsuits!!!

My condiment bag that carries my shampoo, conditioner, contact lense solution, extra lenses, q-tips, sewing kit, meds, etc.

It's got a LOT of stuff!!!:D

Mine are still hanging from last year.... they're all together good to go..... not sure what will go in first.... leave in 12 days....have 2 nights in town before boarding so it's always fun packing then unpacking as I realise that I'll need sleepwear etc..... :o

dont forget to pack large bloomers

Now now Boycie, don't want to go upsetting Marlene ;)

knickers

Lol

My swimsuits are the first thing.

The funniest things I will be packing are my niece's and nephew's stuffed animals. They send them with me and my sister when we travel without them.

Do you take photos of them in each port? I think that would be a great scrapbook for them when they get older! :p

First things into the bags are my stack of cruise related T-shirts that I pretty much don't wear anywhere but on a cruise. Swim trunks follow shortly there after.

Cruise/travel docs and passports.

Then OTC meds.

Formal wear. Gotta make sure the Tux still fits!!!!! Then the swim suits.

I had the idea of leaving them out for the cabin steward to incorporate into the towel creations, but your idea is a great one!

The first thing I pack is our swimsuits. Totally gets me in the mood for the tropics! :D Our passports and documents are the next in the bags.

I have mine all in piles, underwear/bathing suits, short/shirts, dresses, (separate bag for my shoes :) meds - in big plastic bag (don't won't to be caught w/o anything) makeup/shampoo, passports/papers - I know I know you said (1) item :eek:

pants.

My casino money:D

Not sure which is first, but get Set Sail, and other related cruise information in my folder, then 1 month out, everything including passport goes into the packing room. As far as clothes, get the essential garments in their packing cubes and pack up the carryon with 3 day attire AM & PM then the larger suitcase.

In Order

Boarding Pass--Passports--Credit Cards--Cash

Jack

dresses... then I can see how much room I have left for everything else.:o

Underwear and socks. These things have been forgotten by individuals on previous cruises. They are hard to buy onboard.

well, all you need to do is to put your coolest sunglasses :)
