Begin with a proper travel bag. There
are many more things to bring but this should get you started (and heck, if
you forget ANYTHING, the SHOPPING in Chicago matches the likes of New York
City WITHOUT paying the high PRICE!!!)
Documentation
Keep all this information in one small
secure bag,
safely tucked away and keep possession of your carry-on at ALL times.
___ Eye Glass Prescription
___ Drivers License
___ Medical/Dental Insurance Card
___ Personal Insurance Papers
Medical
Make sure these items are properly marked and in a small, clear zip-loc
bag. You'll have to show these to the security people.
___ Alka Seltzer
___ Vitamins
___ Pain Killers (i.e. Aspirin / Tylenol)
___ Pepto Bismol
___ Prescription (s)
___ Antacid Tablets (i.e. Tums / Rolaids)
Toiletries
Be aware of new security restrictions regarding liquids. Hotels very
often offer complimentary hair dryers (ask before you pack) shampoo,
toothpaste and lotion. It could save you a lot of luggage space and hassle
at security.
___ Suntan Lotion / Sun Block
___ Sun Burn Pain Relief (i.e. solar cane)
___ Tooth Brush / Paste
___ Deodorant
___ Shampoo
___ Skin Lotion
___ Comb / Hairbrush
___ Hair Dryer
___ Razors / Shavers
___ Shaving Cream
___ Gel / Mouse / Hairspray
Clothing
Bringing too much clothing can be worse than not enough. Bring clothes
that pack well (don't wrinkle)
and serve multiple purposes.
Maybe think about bringing a collapsible bag (remember? Shopping?).
___ Bathing Suit
___ Shirts (short / long sleeve)
___ Shorts
___ Trousers
___ Socks
___ Belts
___ Underwear
___ Thermal Underclothing
___ Bras
___ Stockings
___ Nightgowns
___ Pajamas
___ Sandals
___ Sneakers
___ Dresses
___ Jacket
___ Suit (s)
___ Tie (s)
___ Sweaters
___ Rainwear
Miscellaneous Items
Keep your camera with you at all times. Scissors, nail files and
umbrellas, will have to be checked. If you're able to do
carry on
only, you'll probably have to
buy those items once you arrive
___ Small, clear zip-loc bags
___ Sewing Kit
___ Repair Glues (quick drying)
___ Scissors
___ Camera
___ Film/memory card
