What’s In Your Carry On

Annita’s Carry On Bag

Right now my favorite “personal item” carry on bag is an oversized canvas bag, easy to fold and pack, and large enough to over stuff with a ton of items. With an outsize pocket, sturdy handles and a lot of style, this bag will be my favorite for many trips! Plus, it’s a Pan Am Brands bag, so what’s not to like?

I like to pack:

A light sweater or scarf for a chilly flight
Entertainment for the flight – book, iPad, music
Camera with extra battery
Ear plugs and eye shades
Sunglasses
Charger for my electronic items
Converter – for international trips
Medicines in their original containers
Bring along playing cards and electronic games for entertainment during the flight. They help make the time go faster and a great way to share fun with your travel mate.

 

 

 

Sunglasses, reading and prescription glasses are a must on any trip. Don’t forget to pack them.

 

 

 

 

Like to journal your trip for later blogging or for just sharing your experiences with family and friends? Look for a lightweight journal with a pen or pencil. Write away! You’ll want to note memories and feelings that your camera just can’t capture.

 

 

 

Remember the converters and adapters when traveling international. Many hotels have converters but may charge a fee for using them. This is a small compact kit that easily fits in my carry on.

 

 

 

While planning which suit to pack, also gather your chargers. Don’t forget your camera battery charger too!

 

 

 

 

On long flights, I pack my clear plastic bag with moisturizer and lotion where I can easily reach it during those dry flights. This really helps keep skin from becoming so dry.
