1) i'll be staying at hotels and on a cruise ship, do you think ill need to pack towels? if so...how many?

2) do you think 1 tube of those little toothpastes would be enough to last me the whole trip?

3) do you think a travel size deoderant (sp?) will last me the whole trip?

4) do you think 3 oz. of shampoo will be enough to last me the whole trip?

5) what items should i carry in my carryon bag? (ive never been on a plane before)

****6) i know that the rule is that you cant have liquids in containers of over 3 oz. but how many containers can you have? and is that JUST for the carryon? or for you suitcase too? or can you have regular sized shampoo bottles in your suitcase????

thanks!

Answer 1

1. Sure if you dont want to use the towels provided, or want to swim in the pool at the hotel or on cruise.

2. Little toothpaste? No, buy a bigger one for like 4 dollars.

3. I would think not. Again buy a bigger, normal size.

4. NOOO! Dont buy a full size one, just a little bigger.

5. Never been on a plane? Well, stuff you will need through your plane trip. Ipod? Magazine or book? Or candy/gum.

6. Fit whatever you can in a zip loc bag (each under 3 oz)

Have fun

Answer 2

You probably don't need any towels.

I would bring two 'little' bottles of toothpaste.

Put any of your liquids that you are carrying onto the plane in a sandwhich size bag- you can carry regular size inside your suitcase.

Answer 3

You don't need any towels.

Since you are going to be gone for a while, just pack the full size stuff you need like toothpaste, shampoo, deoderant, etc.  It just needs to be packed in your suitcase, not your carry-on.

You will probably want to bring an ipod and a book or magazines for the plane ride.  Bring your camera in your carry-on also.

Have fun on your trip!

Hi,

Great trip. No you do not need towels....hotels and cruise ships provide there.

Toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo - goodness do not worry. There are STORES abroad and you can stop and buy something if you run out.  I would, however, make sure I had enough before getting on the ship since they, like hotel shops, might be charging much more than the local supermarket or

general merchandise store.

In your carry on  be sure you have:

1. any prescription drugs you take, in their container....carry a copy of each prescription in your handbag or wallet.  You might be asked to show it.

2. If you wear glasses, be sure to carry a 2nd pair....and again carry your prescription. Glasses can get broken.

3. a change of underwear - in case your luggage gets lost...

4. washcloth - some hotels provide towels but no wash cloth.

5. If you are bringing a camera, be sure it is in your carry on or purse...you do not want it stolen or banged around in your checked luggage.

5. Since it will be a long fight, you might want to carry a book or some paper/ballpoint to write your impressions....the movies can be boring and the magazines on board are often old.

Here is hint for packing your main luggage learned a few years ago... take your oldest underwear, socks etc.  Then you can just discard them instead of having to wash them in hotel sink or carry dirty stuff around.  And it leaves more room for gifts etc. on your return trip.

Enjoy the trip.  Do take time each day or night to write some notes about what you have done, where you have been, what you have seen.  After you get home such notes will be a treasure...since no matter how had we try, we do not remember everything...or if you will have access to Internet cafe, why not start a blog before you go and keep updating it each day your are abroad.

Good luck

Answer 5
