of course you've forgotten something, but don't worry, even if you start looking now, you'll only notice it when you get to your destination

and, as someone else already said...you have far too many clothes packed, you'll come home with half of it unworn

enjoy your holiday though

Unless your going on a remote dessert island there is nothing you cant buy when you get there..stop worrying and enjoy your holiday...

so long as you have tickets/passports that you need the rest doesn't matter. You will find that at least 75% of what you packed won't get used, and the smallest thing you didn't pack will be the thing you need.

Put a little extra cash ready and be prepared to spend it, but most of all relax and have a lovely time.

And you never even told us where you are going and what "family" consists of

medicine! nothing ruins a holiday like a sick child or adult!
make sure you have...for the kids - a sun hat, sunscreen, calpol, childrens ibuprofen, carvol capsules, antihistamine cream - adults - paracetamol, ibuprofen, dioralyte, imodium, sunscreen, aftersun
Don't forget plasters and savlon too!

Just make sure you turn the gas off and bring an extra suitcase for all the souvenir junk you will bring back.

Freakyfran

Travel adaptor plugs, plasters/band aids, toothpaste, insect repellent, paracetamol, charger for your mobile/cell phone, a pen, spare batteries, antiseptic cream, anti-diarrhoea pills (if you need them, you'll be glad you have them!)

i am sure that u r bound to forget something, but it wont matter cos as long as u have the essentials anything else u can buy. The most important thing is to enjoy your first family holiday, dont waste energy getting stressed out..........go, chill and enjoy.....:)

dont forget to pack your drugs, explosives etc, you'll need them at customs.

kja63

Money, charge card (for emergencies), insurance card, camera, medications, cell phone, cell phone charger, etc....

BathroomMaster

I often forget toothbrush, hair brush and toothpaste (i.e. if it's a morning flight the things I can't pack the night before!). Also if you intend to send any post cards remember to write down addresses. Phrase book for which ever country your going to (By now I have 'A beer please.' in just about every European language memorised haha). And a couple of books and puzzle books. I only took one novel with me last time, when I finished it I borrowed one of the hotels, but only got halfway through and haven't got round to buying/borrowing it yet....really frustrating! Also first aid kit with anti histamines, plasters, pain killers, laxative, anti diarrhoea etc... Oh and sun glasses!! Also insect repellent.

Have a fun time :)

Nutty Girl

for kids -Calpol ,plasters . hotel pools can give eye infections so googles are handy if kids r in pool.
Playing cards for any nights in .
If you are self catering some small items like tea,coffee,sugar helps .i've even seen people go on holiday with cool boxes all taped up ,bringing butter ,sausages ,bacon etc

Ah bless! First family holiday! What does it matter if you do forget something - you will always be able to either buy it at your destination, improvise, or simply do without - life's too short. Have a great one babe!!

~â™¥~Bella~â™¥~

Make sure you bring lots of snacks and games for the kids. It will keep them occupied ...."are weeeee theeeer yeeet?" will not be on the agenda if you're well prepared! Bring them to a book store today and let them each pick out a book for the trip..hide it away till the day of the trip, then they'll be excited! good luck and have fun!

sam

Make sure you have wet wipes and tissue - sweets to chew, water (unless you off on a plane of course). magazines, games e.t.c to keep the kids entertained. Cd's bug spray, but repellent, which doctor gel or spray for bites, burns, headaches. Headache pills, a pot of Andrews for icky belies.
flip flops, trainers, cardis, hair bands, hair brushes, books.

There is a list of things i usually forget.

Have a good holiday

greg f

something for a headache

Tiger01204

Of course you have but you won 't realise till you are at the airport/station/port or have just got to your destination. It will happen/ don't try to fight it / laugh it off- no need for a barny....
have a great time!.
Have you got PMT?
Passport/money/tickets.

My mum always takes a first aid kit with her just incase. and something to settle an upset stomach if the food is quite differant to at home.
