For my carry on, I'll be squeezing my bedding, a few text books, some chargers and a few scattered pieces of clothing into a Vera Bradley large duffel in Poppy Fields. But my personal item, a Vera Bradley Vera tote in Symphony in Hue, is still needing to be packed. This is what I'm thinking...your thoughts? It's astounding to me how I can be an under-packer with my suitcases, only bringing the essentials, but when it comes to what I may need sitting on a plane for just under three hours, I want to bring my entire bedroom in my purse.
1. My iPod - a definite must! I've got several airplane playlists all picked out and ready to go - slow tunes if I feel like sleeping, upbeat if I feel like being productive.
2. Makeup Essentials in a Clear Cosmetic Bag - easy to go through security with, and a little swipe of mascara and lip balm when leaving the plane will have me fresh and ready to go.
3. My All-in-One Vera Bradley Wristlet - essential for carrying my credit cards, cash, drivers license and phone all in one place. Very convenient!
4. Reading Material - three hours is a long time...and I have a lot of books still unread that I brought down here.
5. Healthy Snacks and Water - Popcorn and Protein bars are delicious and a healthy alternative to crappy airplane and airport food. Water is a must to avoid headaches and other flying woes.
6. Magazines - for when the books become to "heavy" to comprehend and I need something light and fun.
7. Notebook and Pens - for jotting down thoughts and ideas, journalling and maybe even doing a little schoolwork.
8. Cardigan and Small Throw Blanket - airplanes are cold. 'Nuff said.
All will fit (tightly) in my lovely Vera tote - or at least, I hope so! What are your carry-on essentials?
