When you pack for a trip...

What's the number one thing you forget?

I'm packing and even with a detailed list, I'm sure I must be forgetting something.

kelann2010

Cell phone charger?

kelstar824

camera, toothbrush/paste, tampons, cell phone charger, bug spray/sunscreen, cash....

ETA: Haha sorry I misread and rambled off more than one thing...

BetchySprout

Toothpaste

SaucyRedhead

Toothbrush or hairbrush.

I don't know what it is about brushes, but my mind CAN NOT remember to pack them.

I think it also has to do with the fact that they are both something I use often so I can't pack them in advance. I should really invest in an extra set of both of them so I can avoid this problem and just pack them like a week ahead of time.

Cell phone charger?

Ohhhh yes this too.

The top ones for us are always - cell phone charger (DH almost every time), deodorant, or contact solution. 

Although last trip I forgot underwear.... that was fun... it was a week and a half long trip....

cell phone charger or mouth guard.

These are all good - I definitely need extra contacts and solution

One time I forgot underwear... I never forgot again after that!

I dont't know where you are planning on going, but I always forget my blowdryer.

Normally for me it's my cell phone charger or camera battery charger.

Earplugs! I am a very light sleeper, so I need them or I will wake up constantly. I have to remember to put them back in my purse after using them on trips, so I'll have a back up if I forget to pack them in the future.

Oh my! I have never forgotten this. It's usually the first thing I pack. I do sometimes forget sleeping clothes though. It's not fun to sleep in uncomfortable clothes!

LifeInANutshell

I never seem to pack enough socks.

red1976

don't forget your BBT! :>)

kelstar824

What about a bathing suit if you plan on swimming?

MuseumMaven

I'm probably alone on this, but PJs.  It's fine if DH and I are on vacation or something, but you don't really want to sleep nude at the in-laws.

hippiegirl884

I always forget to bring socks and hair ties.

MrsMarriedIn04

A jacket usually when I really need to take one too. I went up north one year and forgot it and froze the entire weekend.

MissLadyTay

Bras.  I never remember to bring bras.  It has happened on at least a dozen trips.  Sometimes I forget underwear too and I have to make an emergency run to buy some. 

Stimpy09

I don't know if you are camping, but the last two times we went we forgot pillows. It's hard enough to sleep in a tent w/o resting your head on a curled up sweatshirt!

For me, it's deodorant and hair brush.  I have so many random deodorants that I've bought when I've traveling.
