We’ve been talking a bit about traveling and holidays this month, so we decided to ask the blog authors about their own travels.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>

Question: What important item have you forgotten when you went on a trip?<\/p>\n

\"Cell“My cell phone charger.” ~ Laurie Alice Eakes<\/p>\n

“Cell phone charger.” ~ Ruth Axtell<\/p>\n

Noticing a bit of a pattern?\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

“My family goes off to a small cottage almost every weekend, June through August, so opportunities to forget abound. I have forgotten many ‘essentials’ such as, butter, swimsuit, camera, milk, jam, and more. The good thing is, there’s always next weekend to try to remember it all.” ~ Susan Karsten<\/p>\n

\"Old“Ha! I’m not sure my answer is blog-appropriate: I managed to go on my honeymoon without remembering to pack a bra. :)” ~ Jessica Snell<\/p>\n

“Well, there’s the very obvious toothbrush. I think I ended up using my husband’s for the night, and hotels usually have toothbrushes available to purchase. (Thank goodness!)<\/p>\n

I’ve also forgotten my pajamas before, which is even more embarrassing. Especially when you’re staying with other women. If my hubby had been there, I could have taken one of his extra t-shirts to sleep in. But nope. There I was staying with two other women, and rummaging through my suitcase hoping to find a sleep worthy t-shirt. Not fun!” ~ Naomi Rawlings<\/p>\n

“My mother. It wasn’t actually a trip. My 3 year old granddaughter was in her first beauty pageant. I didn’t realize I had forgotten to bring mom until someone at the pageant asked how she was doing” ~ Tammy Kirby<\/p>\n

\"Pile“Socks. I think I forgot them because I was wearing sandals while I packed. For me it wasn’t that big of a deal – I just wore my sandals for the trip. My husband, however, had a bit of a tougher time. Fortunately, there was a Wal-Mart nearby.” ~ Kristi Ann Hunter<\/p>\n

What important items have neglected to make their way into your luggage before a trip?<\/p>\n
