I am packing today (Saturday) and here are some of the things I have packed or need to pack. (It is a four day trip, by the way).
CLOTHES : These are pretty essential unless I want to walk around either a) nude or b) in stinky clothes, so I am packing lots of these. Although luckily they are all hot-weather-clothes so will not take up too much space. (Hand luggage only sadly).
SWIMMING COSTUME: This is something I need. I have outgrown (mentally and physically) last years costumes so I need a new one but it is impossible to find ones that are attractive without being revealing. The struggle is real. I also need to get a microfibre towel that will fit in my bag. I am thinking about this swimming costume, from Fatface, but feel it might be a bit old?
SHOES: I am going to wear my Vans on the plane - these will do for walking up Mt. Vesuvius etc, and will pack my Havaianas as well, for lounging around the pool.
ESSENTIALS: Along with the obvious toiletries I am bringing wipes so I can stay feeling fresh in the heat, and suncream which is mega important if you are as pale as I am and have no capacity to tan, only to burn, also like myself.
ACCESSORIES: My eyes seem to be very sun-sensitive so I am taking my Polaroid Glasses which I love, the lens seems to give everything a instagram-style filter, and colours are brighter, not darker like most sunglasses make them. I am also bringing my floppy hat, which had been with me many places, America, Music Festivals and now Italy.
FOOD: Maybe this has been mentioned but in the eventuality it hasn't, I am a very fussy eater. So upon landing I am going to a supermarket because I will not, without a doubt, eat the hotel provided food. *shivers* But for the journey I have got some special K chocolate biscuit moments and cereal bars, and a weetabix drink, I have no idea if I will like them but it seems like a good idea to have some kind of energy providing food. I am also taking some mini packets of cereal which should be useful.
MUSIC: This is one of the most important parts for me, my headphones and I are inseparable and without music I would not survive the journey. (Slight melodrama). I am downloading all my spotify playlists onto my phone so will be bringing an adaptor to keep my phone charged and will take my headphones. This trip will feature my summer and happy playlist, on which I have songs by:
Half Moon Run
Noah and the Whale
Birdy
Kodaline
Foster the People
and other artist but that's all I can think of right now. I recommend listening to all of the above.
That's pretty much it, I'm sure I've forgotten half of the essentials but that will have to do. So wish me luck on my trip and have a nice time! I won't be, at 2am when this is posted.
