Hiya glitterqueen,

I never travel light however hard I try but the 2 things I never go without are Austalian Bodycare 100% tea tree oil and Cool 'n' Soothe sheets for temperatures/sun exposure (no need to refrigerate) pop it on the back of your neck and instant cooling down. Lovely after a day in the sun!

How about you?

Ooops - should have said I use the tea tree oil for insect bites, stings, scrapes and burns. Just about anything really.

I always take Aloe Vera gel, spare toilet roll and my daughters favourite "doll thing" that she has had since being tiny, if we forgot that she would be distraught. karen

I would put a 'I live @ xxx' with the addie of your hotel etc on the doll as I have read a couple of times of these getting lost with all the movement on holiday and the child has been very upset. :D

I've bought an electric inflater for the kids boats/rings/airbeds this year. I nearly had an asthma attack last year trying to blow everything up by lung power in a sweaty Lloret heatwave! :lol: It also deflates too - so this should save those fun hours on the last day trying to get air out of things with safety valves which don't let air out easily!
I suppose it would be easier to buy them in resort, ready-inflated, and then sell them on to new arrivals on the last day, but the kids like to shop for their inflatables before we go!
