    Impressive! Did you guys pack Halloween costumes?

    I could get my dresses and bikinis in a carry-on. It's the shoes. Shoes are my weakness. Also, going for 8 nights vs 5 like we usually do.

    Great advice, Sultryfox! I am going to look at underwater/waterproof cameras before we leave.

    Who else brings several pairs of sunglasses to match?

    Did someone call my name? You guys all knew I was going to admit to doing the matchy-matchy thing with sunglasses too! And hats!

    I think I need a steamer trunk. Good thing I'm travelling with two big strong men.

    Karen - do you fly commercial or do you have to rent a charter to haul all your luggage down? :icon_eek:

    Smart ass Scott. Actually, I'm actively looking for a wealthy man with a private plane so I don't have to deal with any more stupid airlines telling me my luggage is too heavy.

    BTW, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills take 2 suitcases each for a weekend in Hawaii. I think I am doing pretty well taking one large suitcase for a whole week in Mexico.

    I think they should film the "Real Housewives of TTR"! LOL...wouldn't that be fun? :flash::bootyshake:

    Lol on the shoes!! I am sooo with you there!! Last time we went to Desire I had one suitcase packed with just clothes & one suitcase filled with just shoes!!(same with TTR) The guys who carry the suitcases in gave me a funny look when they went to carry them in & said "You do realize this is a clothing opptional resort right?" I said yeah but Im a girl & I never can make up my mind ahead of time what I want to wear! Lol! Im a hopeless shoe addict (much to my hubbys dismay). Im a member of Shoedazzle & have bought almost 30 pairs just in the last 6 or 7 months! Also on the underwater/waterproof camera I started a thread on what kind to get a cpl days ago. U might want to check it out there were alot of good tips & advice on what kind to get! :icon_smile:

    All these people packing pop in their luggage!!! Aren't you afraid it may explode while being tossed around? Airport crew are less than gentle when it comes to your luggage. You must be putting it in your carry on...right?

    Nope....can't take pop in a carry-on. I guess I never thought about it and none has ever exploded yet. I put in plastic and cushion between clothes.

    And Jess...I am a mood dresser so its hard to know what I am going to want to wear next Tuesday. I so get that!!

    I have always taken a 12 pk of Mt Dew w me every yr in my main luggage since I cant function w/out it (lol) & have yet to be able to find it in cancun. Never knew about the Walmart so Im hoping maybe somehow I can find out before we go this yr if they have it there so i wont have to pack it. I have never had a problem with it exploding. As someone else mentioned I always just wrap it itn several plastic bags & cushion it with clothes.
