2. Corkscrew
3. Teabags.

Clothes are some way down. I'm glad I'm not alone.

i hate tea, but i now have to take all sorts of teabags(green tea and fruit teas) on my trips to spain to keep the locals happy.

My tweezers are the most important. I took coffee and tea last time and didn't drink it.

Loads of nice hair care products for me, as my hair hates all that sun and sea and it's almost impossible to get a comb through unless I take supplies of leave in and intense conditioners!

Apart from the essentials. I could survive with-
glasses
book
hat
suncream

Though hubby would probably beg to differ and say that I take all bar the kitchen sink.

insulated travel mugs! Fantastic stuff for keeping drinks cool!

hair straighteners! :lol:

hair straighteners for me too , how did I live without them?
Also good reading matter, suncream, ipod, tweezers and lots of travel size clinique products.
Reply
I'm afraid hairstraightners is top of my list too :lol:

Hair straighteners are tops for me too (could never do a camping holiday now). Followed closely by t bags - I do love my cuppa.

Do hair straightners work abroad? I've heard people say that theirs wouldn't heat up!

I have very frizzy/curly hair and it's not worth straightning mine anyway but I'm curious!
