Packing List

So, A and I are leaving on a cruise tomorrow. Our second cruise, twice as long as the first and to a much warmer locale. We're heading to the Caribbean! Wahoo! My organizational addiction and A's preparation strategies collided when we spent some time putting together a packing list using various Internet sources. I can't believe that some people actually pack all the items on their lists - many of them are designed for catastrophes, major and minor: duct tape, sewing kit, eyeglass repair kit, flashlight, rope, swiss army knife, etc. etc. etc. I vetoed those items on the spot, but wondered what else we'd end up taking that would or would not prove useful. Here's out list and what we took - jump ahead a week to find out what we actually used!
