What should I bring in the car for vacation?

What should I bring to vacation?

• I am going on vacation with my friend and her parents and I was wondering what I should bring. We are driving from Philadelphia to Orlando so it is going to be like a 18 hour drive. We are going to stay there for about 10 days.They have a time share there so they will be bringing most of the food. We will be going to many water parks and we will go to the beach. So can someone please tell me what to bring for the car ride and just the time we are going to spend down there so I don't forget anything?

  Sounds like it will be fun! One tip for packing is to bring 2 more outfits than needed, in case of unexpected weather or you stain one of your clothes. So here is a packing list I made for you, add items you need or take away anything you don't think you need: - 12 shirts (mostly short-sleeved cotton and tank tops, maybe one long-sleeved) - 12 bottoms (mostly shorts and Capri's, maybe a couple pairs of jeans for the car ride) - 1-3 skirts or dresses in case you go out to eat at a nice place - 12 pairs of underwear - 8-10 pairs of socks - Flip-flops/sandals - Good walking shoes - Sneakers - Hat (usually a big, floppy sun hat is great for the beach) - 2-3 swimming suits - 1-2 Swimsuit Cover-up(s) - Wallet with cash - Books and magazines - Beach bag/tote to bring swimming - Goggles, volleyball, any beach toys you want - Maybe a pillow and blanket to help you sleep in the car - Aspirin or any medication you take - Toothbrush and paste, floss - Shampoo and conditioner - Make-up, fragrances you use - Lotion, soap, deodorant, - A Tide Stain Stick is always handy - Sunglasses - Sun screen - Shaving cream/soap and razor - Beach towel - Feminine products - Hair brush/comb - Barrettes, headbands, hair ties - Bug spray - Electronics you want- iPod, cell phone, laptop, camera (don't forget chargers/batteries) That's about it.
