  • Have you ever forgotten to pack something important?


    On a trip to Washington DC, my friend forgot to pack her underwear! We got there late so all the stores were closed so she couldn't buy any underwear for our first night. What she did was wash her underwear in the sink for the first night and wore her boyfriend's underwear to sleep.

    We went out to go underwear shopping for her the next day. She didn't want to spend too much money so she ended up buying these HUGE panties from CVS!

    Have you ever forgotten to pack something important?

    My sister did that trick when she was younger when we went to the seaside for the week instead of my mum doing the packing for us all,  she wanted to pack her on clothes,   she only packed about three pair so we had to go and find a department stores.


    I have never forgot to pack anything important, sleepwear I can managed with underwear incase there is a fire alarm which goes off.

    Have we ever forgotten something important? How ironic. My daughter just discovered that she packed the laptop, but forgot the power cord!

    On a more tragic note, when my first was a baby, I forgot to pack her favorite stuffed bunny, that she absolutely had to have in order to sleep.We were traveling over 1200 miles by car. After crying for eight hours, she finally fell into a fitful sleep in my arms. No other toy would do until my mom bought her a music box. I had to keep it playing all night long, or she would wake up and cry.

    Never again did I ever forget such an important item! She's 15 now, and still has the bunny. (Don't tell her that I told her secret!)

    I always write a list and tick against the items that went inside the luggage. And I always pack in advance so that I won't miss out anything.

    I forgot my toothbrush once. That was awful. Just like your friend, I got in really late so nothing was open so I couldn't get one till the next day in the afternoon b/c I was busy  starting at 7 in the morning.

    i haven't forgotten anything, i usually have a check list. But i do always pack night before so i may forget things, not really anything that i really need though.

    I once forgot to pack my toothbrush for my trip to Texas last year. Good thing toothbrushes were easy to come by. Hehe.

  • retardtm@xanga

    @Alatariel40@xanga - That's okay, I'm 23 and I still have my stuffed dog.  In fact, he's been with me on two trips to Europe, and he's become my little "traveling gnome" in all my photos, and everyone thinks it's hilarious.  At least that's how I play off my dependency on him, lol.

  • Morningstarrising@xanga

    Oh no! I would have been mortified to find out that I had forgotten underwear.  I think the worst I've ever done was forget a toothbrush, and well, that's why hotels have free ones. :)

    Once, I forgot to pack my asthma pump. It wasn't so bad cuz my asthma didn't really act up during my three day camping trip. I NEVER forget now, it's always in my bookbag or my pocket, no matter where I go... it's there.
    And this one time I forgot to pack my pads HAHAHAHAHA. That kinda sucked, but we found a easy solution: local drug store. lollll... it really sucked.

    • About Me: Age: 27, Location: New York, NY Favorite places I've visited: Trick question! I've been to so many amazing places, but if I absolutely had to pick, I'd settle on a couple places to shorten the list. Madrid, Spain because that's where I did my study abroad program when I was 18 and it was there that the travel bug bit me so hard it left a scar. I haven't been the same since. And Vietnam. That's where my family is from. Although, I'm Vietnamese American, I never actually visited Vietnam until I was 26. It was an awesome experience to learn about my family's history and I was quite pleased to show off my vietnamese language skills to the locals. It's quite a big deal for an american-born.
