Tips:

●If you wear glasses, be sure to bring an extra pair, or at least a glasses repair kit. My DH and I both had ours break on two different trips. Don't forget the sunglasses.

●It's a good idea to bring quite a few one dollar bills for tipping baggage handlers or room service or anything else that might come up.

●Bring some hand sanitizer to help avoid flues and colds and in case of using a bathroom on a tour that's not quite clean. Bring a little toilet paper in your purse, also, for the same reason.

●I always bring at least one warmer nightie in case of too-cold, air-conditioned rooms.

●Be sure to label your camera with return address labels, in case you lose it.

●Don't pack all of your clothes in one bag and his in another. Divide the clothes up so you will both have clothes if something should happen to your bags.

●Don't forget your clothes pins or potato chip clip, to weigh down the shower curtain in your cabin....No more shower curtain stuck to your rear end dilemna!!
