🚫 Before I left, I bought an adorable cross body purse from Coach. I love the purse, but looking back on the trip, I would have bought something different. The bag was a structured, small leather bag with a long strap to wear cross body. But what I didn’t like about it was that it was rigid and structured. I had to carefully fit things into the purse, and if I needed something in the bottom, I had to take everything out to get to it. I was able to put a chapstick, my phone and a battery pack, and a tiny hairbrush. I think it would have been smarter to have a bag that was less structure, more of a loose, sack-type bag. It would have just made it easier to get stuff in and out of the bag.
🚫 I have a small Bluetooth speaker. I imagined that some evenings we might enjoy some music in our room or sitting outside somewhere. I never used it, but I lugged it all around!
🚫 I have two iPads, one mini and one large size. I brought them both, imagining some reason I might need them, maybe to watch a movie or look at photos or something. I never needed them, never used them, but still had to deal with them in my luggage and at TSA check points.
🚫 I have a very nice toiletries bag, but it was too structured and rigid, it took up room in the luggage, and I didn’t really use it as intended. It would have been smarter to just toss my toiletries in a ziploc bag and save room in the luggage.
🚫 Cell phone leashes were something I heard was super important. I bought them, but never used them. I just never felt like I was in a dangerous place or I never felt like I was being careless or forgetful about my phone. I think it depends on you, would you like to have your phone hanging on you like that? It does seem kinda nice and helpful to have it right there like that.
