It sounds as if you have thought it all through perfectly!<br /> Have a great time!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-204525 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:25:44 +0000 RoseandJoan 204525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much for your tips.</p> <p>I would love to double up the bathing costume but I have spent three months searching and have only found one which I'm happy about (if it was still in stock I would duplicate). I will hand wash like a demon to ensure it remains pristine.</p> <p>Great tips about the scarf, it will definitely pull a denim skirt and tank look into an outfit.</p> <p>Shoes, I may pack another pair. I have to be mindful of weight as my youngest does not have a baggage allowance and needs a lot of extra stuff such as nappies etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-204004 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:22:52 +0000 Scarlet 204004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always double up on the swim suit and cover up. Also bring sun cream and a hair mask. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203984 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 00:02:16 +0000 Angie 203984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great list! </p> <p>I'd add a scarf, a jacket of sorts, and another bathing costume if you can? Do you have enough shoes? </p> <p>Very excited about your trip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203930 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:46:43 +0000 Steph 203930@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you're going to be spending a lot of time at the beach, I would pack at least one more swimsuit and at least one more cover-up. I pack light, so I probably would cut down on the number of dresses I took. But if you can fit everything, go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203919 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:32:08 +0000 bella 203919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, I should mention that I always carry more than one swimsuit. I like to change into a dry swimsuit when I go for lunch or drinks. It is also nice to have a spare just in case. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203918 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:29:52 +0000 taylor 203918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have a Fabulous trip!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203917 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:28:50 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 203917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just checking ;)</p> <p>I also know that sometimes it is cooler in a long sleeved top, with the sun off my skin than in short sleeved ones. I burn within 8 minutes in NZ!</p> <p>I loved Turkey when we went last year, we didn't go to the beach but had the most amazing time, everyone was very friendly, shopping was fantastic and the food was wonderful. It was a good thing the baklava shop involved an uphill walk on the way back to our hotel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203913 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:21:16 +0000 bella 203913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I realized that I was being completely useless about the packing part. I would add a pair of flip flops (or equivalent) to wear to and from the beach/pool. Also make sure that your tote has a zipper and be mindful of pickpockets! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203912 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:21:08 +0000 RoseandJoan 203912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bella we are staying very close to Kusadasi, do you know the region? I will of course send your regards to your homeland.</p> <p>Yes Fi, I will pack brassieres, hopefully the sun block will mean I don't burn but you are right, better safe than sorry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203911 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 21:16:10 +0000 bella 203911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Turkey! I hope you'll have a great time. say hi to my compatriots!

It's often breezy at the beach here- especially after sundown. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-went-on-a-beach-holiday-for-a-week-and-all-i-packed-was#post-203780 Fri, 20 Aug 2010 19:06:21 +0000 RoseandJoan 203780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In fact my holiday is two weeks and counting, here is what I'm packing, do you think I'm missing something?
