What to Pack a private message I am sharing with you....

A message to my step-daughter (11) about what to pack.....

Hello,

I thought I would share this with you since you had some issues with the items that you packed for your summer trip to Florida. You are getting older so no more excuses.

Here is a (short list) of the items you should pack when you travel:

toothbrush/toothpaste
hair brush/comb/hair wrap that you use at night - hair ties
lotion
bath wash
shampoo/conditioner/hair oil or creme
face wash
deodorant
light fragrance/perfume
feminine products when you begin to use
towel/wash cloth - if you are going to a hotel or to a place where you don't know the linen situation

you can bring your favorite jewelry but make sure the items are already in your ear, on your finger or on wrist so the items will not be stolen or lost (this means you will be wearing the items with all your outfits).
sleeping clothes - two t-shirts - two shorts/pants - two night gowns (you choose)
undershirt - underwear - bra
light sweater - summer/winter
jacket - winter
belt
bathing suit
jeans - causal (trouser jeans) dressy, etc.
casual pants - not jeans (khaki)
shorts - go to knees or right above the knee (non daisy dukes)
dress to wear as if you were going to church
dress shoes
sneakers/socks

Clothes (tops/bottoms) and shoes appropriate for the weather (these items you will wear when you reach your destination. Try to pick items that are easy to wear and don't need a lot of ironing).

Also I find that if you roll items up instead of folding them you can pack MORE.

You only need about 10 outfits (10 tops and 10 bottoms).

I think this list is pretty complete, if i forgot something you think you need (include it). LOL
