Title: Do you ever pack things that might seem trivial or daft!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Jules on May 19, 2009, 09:45:30 AM
I always take extra coathangers (cheap plastic ones) as there never seems to be enough for all of our stuff that needs hanging up. I always leave them behind at the end of the holiday. :)

i pack a few clothes pegs just in case there aren't any where we stay, i travel very light these days after sept 11th and being away at the time,  every thing had to go in the case  no hand luggage allowed,
the case was that heavy, it took 2 to lift it on the belt .
I gave the case away after using it once, a 5 yr old could have fitted in it comfortably  :-[

I used to always take sugar tea and coffee. Don't bother anymore as you say readily available in the village.

We always take a small bag with these contents:
A penknife with sharp blade for the beach, cut fruit etc.
A travel washing line for the balcony and a few lightweight pegs,
a few teabags and milk whitener to start us off,
a little electrical screwdriver and spare fuse,
Small (a quater of) Roll of electrical insulation tape,
a few nylon tags and a bit of fishing line to fix broken zips, bags etc
A good holiday is when you don't need to use anything!!
