Answer 3

First of all, check the weather where you are going.  Use www.weather.com and you can request a 10 day forecast for your destination.  It also tells you, by category, (like Home & Family or Sports & Recreation) what the weather will be like for your planned activities.

Second, pack clothes in layers...tanks, t-shirts, a cardigan that goes with everything.  Also, if you plan to go out, take clothes to look good someplace that could be fancy.

Third, things you don't want to be without:  

-digital camera, batteries and memory card

-iPod, cord that will work in the car for the drive AND docking station to listen to at your destination. (if you don't have that...lots of CD's, but in a carry case, not in their hard plastic shells)

-CHAPSTICK (believe me, you'll thank me later)

-put anything liquid that might open in your bag inside a Ziploc bag.  There is nothing nastier than lotion on all your clothes, or an open nail polish.  

-that said...lotion, if you have sensitive skin...sometimes hotel lotions are more drying than soothing.

-prescriptions, in original bottles, if you have them.

-healthy things to snack on:  granola bars, dried fruit, nuts.  It won't zap your energy by stopping for fast food along the way.

And finally, and most importantly, plan to have a blast on your trip!!!
