What should my daughter bring with her on her trip?

Question

she is going to cambodia.ps she is ten years old.

Answer 1

WOW  LUCKY/ i would have her take hand sanitizer   bug spray  it would help to spray her luggage as well

Answer 2

Why exactly is your 10 year old daughter going to Cambodia?

Answer 3

Cambodia can be so humid. Why not ask family members the next time you email or speak with them? They will know better than any one.

I would think she'd use up most of her suitcase with gifts for relatives and want empty space to bring back her purchases.

Answer 4

Cambodia is a wonderful, but humid place. Make sure you pack her well with lots of short clothes that will suit her needs and she wont be overwhelmed by the vicious heat. Assuming that your child might have an accident, make sure she has extra clothes that she can change into. Ipods or any music devices are excellent for listening to and just relaxing. Please be careful though, if you purchase an expensive Ipod or such please keep in mind that she may be too young to keep it safe for a long time. (i got my iphone and ipod touch stolen 2 months after i bought).

I reccomend that your child to not where anything that seems to people that she is rich because that will bring their attention.

Here is a packing list that i have made myself. I have over 5000 packing lists and suggestions for all ages.

Address book and stamps, so you can send out postcards to friends and family at home. Another idea -- Get a box or sheet of blank labels and address them all before you leave with whoever you will be writing home to. Once I'm on my trip, I buy postcards from various places and ask each kid to drop a few lines about our days events and we just peel off the label, stick, stamp and done. No need to look for the addresses. (Anita, 6/98) Include e-mail addresses so you can send virtual postcards from Innoventions in Epcot (Jennifer Watson)

Aloe - our family found it extremely useful (we used almost all of a 20 oz. bottle!) in the summer heat. (Jennifer N. Labuz)

Antacids

Anti-bacterial lotion - This was a must before all meals when we couldn't get to water. (Dawn, Ed & Eric Pauli)

Aspirin!

Pack an Autograph book and a fat pen (so the characters can hold it).

Backpack - to store cameras, ponchos, etc. in.

Baby Powder

Band-Aids

Bathing suit

Batteries - for still and video cameras (though the camera shops in the parks can usually sell you some :)

Battery operated personal fan - It has a string so that you can put it around your neck, but it is still small enough to fit in your f***y pack... These fans made us a lot more comfortable while watching the Hunchback show, the Beauty and the Beast show and while standing in line... I can't tell you how many people I overheard saying to one another, We should have gotten one too.

Beach Towels - For the water parks. Disney resorts provide towels for the pools. (Tracy)

Beach Shoes - those rubber-soled stretchy neon shoes, for walking to the pool, or at one of the water parks, no need to go barefoot and stub your toes.

Bottled Water - if you're driving and can throw a case in the car it makes it that much easier to grab some water on your way out each day. You'll NEED the water in the warmer/hotter months!

Bottle of wine and the opener!

Disposable Camera - especially the Underwater type if you plan to go to the Water Parks

Cell phone with battery and charger base (Bob & Marjie Gold)

Clothespins - for hanging wet swimsuits in the shower as well as closing up bags of snacks. Our hotel (a moderate one) had a clothesline in the shower. (Bcmagargee)

Contact lenses - make sure you bring *both* a spare set and your glasses.

Cooler -  a soft, collapsible one to tote sandwiches and drinks to the water parks (PTKeil)

Dental floss

Ear Plugs - My daughter (age 5) is very sensitive to loud noises. In certain attractions, we found earplugs to be a great help for her She carried them in her f***y pack and we just popped them in as needed. (Christine)

Empty small suitcase/duffle bag - That way, when I load up on t-shirts and goodies, I have something to carry them home in!  (buckylarue)

f***y pack for you and the kids.

Film - Higher speed (over 400 for inside shots), Polaroid film - WDW does not sell it on property (Nikki) and extra rolls!

Small Flashlight - for reading maps or guide books in dark waits

Johnson and Johnson Foot Bath - Those little orange and white envelopes.

Golf glove and golf shoes

Gum - If you like to chew it, buy it in advance; you won't find any for sale on Disney property

Hangers  - for pants and shirts  (Deb suggests if you stay at a Disney hotel, ask housekeeping to bring extra to your room)

Hats - straw, baseball whatever...something to bounce the sun off!

Insect repellant

Jacket for dinner at Victoria and Albert's at the Grand Floridian  (they can provide one)

Frozen Juice Drinks - We found that the Capri Sun juice drinks (in the little pouches) were the perfect size and just sturdy enough to haul around in the back pack. Also, (if possible) freezing bottled water the night before heading out (assuming your room has a little fridge that can be turned up to extra cold), makes them extra refreshing just as you decide you need a cold drink. (D. Basham)

Kleenex

Laundry Detergent - Rather than paying high prices for a small box of laundry detergent, bring some from home in a resealable plastic bag. Doing laundry during your trip also allows you to pack less clothing. (Jennifer Watson)

Lip Stuff - like Blistex or Chapstick - with sunscreen!

Local Access Number - for ISP to check the e-mail!

Permanent Markers

Pocket Binoculars (David Miles)

Prescription Medicines - I suggest that you pack at least 3 extra day's worth of any prescriptions for everyone in your party, and make sure they are in the carry-on luggage, just in case anything happens that you do not leave on schedule. It can be a real hassle getting prescriptions filled long-distance, and might take a day or two to get hold of your Doctor to approve them. (buckylarue)

Moleskin for your blisters

Nail clippers and file

Needle and thread

Night Lights - 2 pack of inexpensive night lights. No bumps and crashes in the night if you just stick these in the outlets. The kids will feel more secure if they know they'll be able to get to the bathroom quickly and easily, and you don't feel bad if you leave them behind (which I usually seem to do!) (John)

Notebook or pad and pens - especially if you're going to write a trip report

Q-tips

Pager -- If you have nationwide service (or can get it inexpensively for the duration of your visit), your pager can help you keep in touch with your family at the parks. (Jennifer Watson)

Plastic glasses for poolside

Plastic silverware - especially spoons (for eating in room)

Portable CD player and CDs -- Familiar music can help you get to sleep at night in an unfamiliar hotel room, or can just set the mood for fun, romance or relaxation. Having a CD player on hand lets you try out the cool CDs you can pick up at Walt Disney World, too! (Jennifer Watson)

Proof of Insurance - to show when you rent your car so you don't need that expensive CDW (collision damage waver)

Rain Poncho - so you can find your group amidst all those yellow slickers!

Safety pins and/or Diaper Pins - for broken zippers or missing buttons

Soap -- Bring a small bar of your favorite bath/face soap, stored in a plastic bag. If you have sensitive skin, don't assume that the soap the hotels provide will work for you. Some of the moderate hotels don't provide bar soap in the bath, either. (Jennifer Watson)

Sensible shoes -- Comfy, well-broken in shoes are essential. This isn't the time to try a new pair of shoes. If you must get new shoes for your trip, be sure to break them in well before you depart for Florida. (Jennifer Watson)

Extra Socks and Sneakers and Undies - One thing my daughter and I found when we visited in August, was that we ran out of clean dry clothes pretty fast.

Stain Stick - the laundry pre-treating stick. Since none of us like to do laundry on vacation, just rubbing the stain with the pre-treatment will let you hold off doing laundry till you return home.

Sweatbands - if you use them, bring them - very expensive at the parks.

Swimming goggles - as sometimes the chlorine from the hotel pools can be pretty high. Of all the things our kids enjoyed the most, was the hotel pool.

Hard covered Suitcase - My wife and I found that an old hard side suitcase filled with snacks and breakfast foods as well as drink boxes made having snacks and breakfast (get a fridge in your room for milk etc.) a big money saver. When you return home you can also use it for all those souvenirs you purchased and can't find room for. (Charles Toles)

Sunscreen

Sunglasses - for ALL members of your traveling tribe, and don't forget those handy-dandy straps that keep the sunglasses hanging around your neck. Much more convenient than tucking the sunglasses in a pocket or f***y pack every time you enter an attraction.

Tape - I always bring a small roll of receiving tape. It has repaired my suitcase when I arrived in Moscow with a big whole in my suitcase with stuff falling out, it has repaired flip-flops that flipped to pieces on my way to the pool, it has repaired book bindings and stuck notes on doors for me and well, you get the picture. It's a great temporary relief when you need it.

Toaster - Take a toaster and food for breakfast, snacks, and various other bites when you are at your room. (The Percey's)

Tickets (or reservation numbers) -  Confirm or obtain airline seat numbers & departure times the day before.  We got to the airport over an hour early and still got 3 middle seats for ourselves! Since we made our plans 3 mos. early, we also found the departure time had changed by 20 minutes.  Nothing the airline called us about, but 20 extra minutes in an airport with kids is not part of a well-planned vacation. (Nick)

Tote Bag - to store ponchos and other items in. Another reader writes: and we'd recommend waterproof tote bags and/or backpacks for keeping cameras, etc. out of the rain.

Toys - for the kids (Tracy)

Trash Bags - a) helps with keeping room clean, trash cans full up easily and b)
