Items You Never Forget

About to be heading back to Temptations in 10 days! We can't wait. I was wondering, what are some items you always bring that people might not think of. I.e. portable speaker for the room, alcoholic whip cream, portable beach chair lockbox, cards against humanity, etc.

 

The suction hooks and covered cup (metal with a straw) are the two things we learned from here that we now take on all trips everywhere! How did I ever live without bringing suction hooks before? Also, I've always been glad to have my little emergency kit (super glue/safety pins/tape/sewing kit/etc) ... super glue can fix such a great multitude of things that seem to break when drinking a bit too much... like sunglasses... flip flops....

 

Those are all great ideas! Especially super glue, so many ways that could save the day

 

Extra charging cables for devices… we loose some at home so we obviously loose some when we travel. A charging block with multiple ports. A few pens and posts it to leave notes to cleaning staff with their tips. Some electrolytes powder packets to rehydrate. Some beach chair clips to hang our towels. This trip we’re bringing a shoe organizer that you hang from a door to organize the bathroom a bit better.

 

You definitely need electrolyte powder packets. I prefer Liquid IV. 5 hour energy, dish soap & sponge to wash your cups out with (if you bring your own mug). In the past, we would take a trip to Walmart to get these things so we didn't have to pack them, but that wastes too much time. So I am packing this trip.

 

A small, one time use, of laundry detergent (depending how long the trip is) for gym clothes, etc in the sink.
HDMI cable (to connect phone/tablet to TV)
Extra hangers
multi-tool (comes in handy more often than I would think)
Benadryl and/or Benadryl lotion (the chemicals in the chemicals in the pool are pretty rough and chlorine allergies/reactions are common)

 

Don't forget to bring plenty of $1.00 and $5.00 bills for tipping around the resort. The staff work their butts off! (we normally bring about $200 for tipping throughout the 7 day stay)

 

Neosporin and large bandaids.

 

I haven't been to TTR yet (2023!!), but I've seen people recommend bring a door stop. When I used to travel for work, it was suggested putting the door stop at the door in case sometime tried to kick it in. In the case of TTR, if you expect people to be going in/out of your room quite a bit, having that door stop would be helpful. I plan on taking one with me.

 

Back up sunglasses or you will be paying top dollar for a new $1 store pair.
