| PACKING CHECK LIST & FIRST AID KIT ITEMS.... So many of us are in a hurry when packing that we forget to pack some important items. Here is a list from the original thread: Packing Checklist PACKING CHECKLIST Don’t forget to let the Postal Service know to hold your mail! Photo Identification List of any advance reservations you may have with confirmation numbers Leave a list of contact phone numbers & itinerary with someone at home (emergency) Travel papers Phone cards Cell phone & charger Ear Plugs, Ear-Planes Young Kids FAVORITE blankie or tote about item Credit card(s) & phone number listing in case misplaced or stolen Turn down or off your HOT WATER HEATER Check list for things to do before closing that door before you leave on your vacation Make a list of items that are in your suitcase(s) in case they are lost Ziploc Bags to store your “possible leak” items such as shampoo, mouthwash, lotions Etc… Also good for wet swimsuits, packing small items, clothing, snacks etc… Larger plastic bags for dirty laundry Water shoes, sandals, extra pair of shoes (incase of rain), flip-flops 11x17 envelope with 2 card board pieces for park photos (for travel) Hair care items Hair clips or scrungy’s for putting hair up Dental Floss, Toothpicks Razors & Shaving cream Tooth paste & brush Gum (you won’t see this sold in the parks) Wet Wipes (for those OOPS moment & just general cleanup) Soap wipes, Oxi-Clean wipes Purell or other hand sanitizers Powder or baby powder, Foot Spray Sun block lotions Insect Repellant Mister Fan Scissors (make sure you don’t put these in your carry on luggage) Tape Mini flashlight Glow in the Dark necklaces or sticks Camera, batteries, film, (or whatever your camera uses to store it’s images), charger Mini tripod Calculator if you keep track of expenses or just need for general use Air Freshener such as Febreeze Spray & Wash stain stick Laundry Soap (if doing wash there) Dryer sheets Sports bottle, Britta Bottle Roll of shiny new pennies for the Coin Machines (roll of quarters too!) Small sewing kit for emergencies Rain ponchos Snacks, non-perishable food items if trying to cut back expenses Fanny packs Empty duffle bag or flat packing luggage for bringing back souvenirs Stamps for postcards or letters Pre-addressed labels If traveling by car, you may want to take paper plates, utensils, paper towels etc… Eye Glass Repair kit Eyewear Retainers (good when on rides and water parks) Heating pad First aid kit (Another thread) Prescription copy if on any meds PassPorter Guide Book  PassPorter's Club E-Worksheets -- printed out to take with you. Other web sites with good packing lists are (there are a lot out there so if you have a favorite one, please post it  ) These are not listed in any particular order:Free Travel Tips Travel With Kids Packing List WDW Planner Today's Luggage Packing List Also has some good info on travel & regulations AllEarsNet Tips Tips and more Tips MagicTrips.com Has vacation planning spreadsheets PassPorter's Club - has several customizable packing lists and packing worksheets Do you have a favoite site you frequent for travel/packing tips or have a NOT TO BE LEFT HOME ITEM? If so, please share.   It’s always good to carry a first aid kit of some sort when traveling. Here are some item ideas that fellow PassPorter travelers carry with them. The original thread for this topic can be viewed by clicking on: First-aid Kit FIRST-AID KITS (WHAT TO PACK) Prescription medications Dramamine, Bonnie Tabs or other motion sickness aid Benadryl (especially for those with allergies) Vitamin E Aloe Vera for sunburns Pepto-Bismol, Zantac, Tums, Antacid etc… Immodium Saline nasal spray Eye Saline Bandaids Neosporin, Bacitracin or other antiseptic ointment (Betadine Oint) Pain meds (Excederin, Tylenol, etc… ) or PM meds for sleep Antiseptic wipes Moleskin, blister bandage Dermoplast Powder, baby powder Scissors Tweezers Nail clippers Nail file Iodine pad Lip Sunscreen Small Flash light Insect repellant Cotton swabs Sudafed (or other allergy med if needed) Baggies (sm) Ice pack Lactaid pills Tissues Antifungal cream</font> If you have something different in your first-aid kit that you think would be helpful to other travelers, please post! Also another good idea for park travel would be to take a small baggie and put inside a few bandaids, piece of mole skin, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment and any medication that will be needed (pain relief & antacids is always a plus) and keep this handy in your pocketbook, backpack or fanny pack. Happy Packing!    |

| Re: PACKING CHECK LIST & FIRST AID KIT ITEMS.... you left out something for chafed thighs if you're forced to wear wet shorts all day due to a sudden downpour in broad sunlight a baby rash ointment or gold bond powder or vagisil powder would work just fine. |

| Re: PACKING CHECK LIST & FIRST AID KIT ITEMS.... [ QUOTE ] 11x17 envelope with 2 card board pieces for park photos (for travel) [/ QUOTE ] Oh my! Great tip!!!! I will definitely have to bring this along for our next trip, considering I always have to purchase the park photos and then I have such a time trying to make sure they don't get damaged in transit.  |

| Re: PACKING CHECK LIST & FIRST AID KIT ITEMS.... Awesome lists!! But does anybody take a gps? Never losing a rental car in the parking lot seems like a great reason to take one. I am hoping to have mine before a *possible* Jan 06 trip. |

| Re: PACKING CHECK LIST & FIRST AID KIT ITEMS.... One other one is from this address. www.geocities.com/Calgon1/Pre-Departure_Checklist.html Although it is geared more for cruising I found it very helpful for some of the things not covered above. Also may want to add cotton balls/swabs for applying the ointment and antiseptics as this will keep the infection down by not touching them directly. |
