Carry On

Many of you will be vacationing somewhere fabulous this summer and often times, flights are involved. The perfect carry-on bag is lightweight and has plenty of room to store needed materials. Personally when I travel I always bring a backpack because it's hands free but I completely understand the desire to have a purse instead so a large Le Pliage Longchamp is also a great option because it is very roomy. I have a huge fear of checking a bag (I went 7 days in Costa Rica with just using carry-on luggage---thank god for large Vera Bradley duffles that can be shoved in all airport overhead compartments), but for the rest of you who don't have the same fears as I do, I wanted to provide a checklist of things you can/should pack in your single carry-on bag.

The List

The Bag:

• Either a backpack or a large Longchamp

The Information:

• Passport
• Boarding Pass
• Wallet (with license, money, credit cards, etc)
• Copy of Flight Itinerary
• Hotel and transportation information

The Entertainment:

• Books
• Magazines
• Headphones
• iPad/Laptop

The Extra Comforts:

• Neck Pillow
• Ear Plugs -- You never know when a screaming baby makes an appearance

The "Just In Case":

• Clean Tee-Shirt
• Clean pair of undies and bra (especially if you're checking a bag--- luggage gets lost more than you know!)
• Phone Charger
• Any prescriptions you might need
• Camera - In case you see any chances for photo opts before you get to the hotel

The Freshen Up Neccessities

• Minimergency Kit & Toiletry Kit - for when you need to freshen up after you get off the plane
• Sunnies - for when those dark bags under your eyes won't go away

What do you put bring in your carry-on?
