Three Things We Often Forget to Bring on Vacation

When traveling or going on vacation, you may find common things you inadvertently forget to bring and wish you had. Here are the top three most commonly forgotten items. 

Underwear – what you say with a shock? How could you forget underwear? Well, underwear and socks are really the top two apparel items that often get left out of the suitcase. If your family only travels annually, it makes it even more likely that these essentials might get left out. Good advice: Buy some plain cotton stand-bys and always leave them in your suitcase (that goes for socks too). It’s a small investment for a creature comfort.

Toothpaste – another shocker that on the face of it seems like you would not easily forget to bring it along. Yet another surprise often left behind.  Nothing makes a trip smellier or more frustrating then missing your toothpaste or toothbrush for that matter. Best advice again: buy a toothbrush and toothpaste you never take out of your travel bag.

Hair Brush – how many times have you forgotten a hairbrush? What are you supposed to do to comb your hair – especially if no sundry shop is around? Your fingers only do so much. Just buy a cheap comb or brush and leave it in your travel bag. Women and girls with long hair, always leave a band in your bag. If nothing else, a good, old-fashioned ponytail handles your hairstyle problems. No need for curling or flat irons. Just toss your hair back.

This is so true! Maybe due to our excitement, we forget the most important things to bring on a vacation. I admit, I often forget to bring a toothbrush on vacation trips. Haha!
