PhuturePriest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm leaving for nearly a week. I need people to help me remember what I should bring. Clothes, toothbrushes, deodorant, things like that are obvious. I'm trying to make sure I don't forget something crucial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Acetaminophen or ibuprofen is the kind of thing that you probably will not think about until you need it, and then you will really really need it. At least that is how it is for me. I usually keep a little bottle of Tylenol in my bag when I go anywhere. Came in handy a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people might, though, and it would be handy to have it if they need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) no kidding: almost every overnight trip I've been on, i've forgotten either my deodorant or my toothpaste. not things you want to forget, either. emergency trips to target are made. LOL I usually like to bring my breviary (or prayer book), and headphones, and ipod and charger cord. what about nail clippers? those are always useful. :) Edited November 19, 2013 by Lil Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I always take ear plugs and eye shades. Hotels or long bus rides can be noisy, and sometimes curtains don't keep parking lot lights out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like sleeping around noise and light, believe it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get headaches with quick pressure changes, so sometimes I will get three or four headaches in a week, other times I will go months without.

Basilisa Marie Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Bring one more change of clothes than you think you'll need. If you're flying, keep that change of clothes in your carry on (if you check a bag). I once got all the way to Munich only to find out that my checked bag was still in Oregon, and had to get by for three days until it got where I was staying. So it's a good idea to bring an extra outfit, you don't know what could happen. Painkillers, a couple bandaids, decongestant pills (I have terrible sinuses), and Dramamine pills if you get carsick. Check the weather of your destination a few times to make sure you're packing the right jacket and stuff. If you aren't already, pack a nice outfit - again, just in case.

It's on a bus, which is pretty exciting since we'll be driving a very long way. :P Being the amateur weatherman I am (I love the science of weather), I checked the weather a long time ago. :P It's supposed to be cold and rainy, which is awesome because I love that weather the most.

Always carry snacks. Oh my goodness, I love those pillows! And definitely. I plan to buy jerkey, as jerkey is one of my most favorite foods ever.

Basilisa Marie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Oh! Bring a pillow or blanket or something if it's going to be overnight. It can get pretty cold on a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're leaving at 11:45 and won't get there until the afternoon. The forecast for Indianapolis is around 45 degrees, and it's supposed to rain, so a blanket won't hurt anything.
