You should have seen me trying to get on the L! My excuse was all the special events as a new director, but, honestly, it's just me! Having said all that, here is something I got last year that I wished I had followed!  I may have something else, but I'm still searching for it. HTH! |

Remember that most airlines have weight restrictions on checked bags. Luckily, summer clothes are lighter and easier to pack than winter clothes, but it's still something to be aware of. And here's a tip I got about the "extras" that you pick up at conference. Buy 1 surprise package and put the other things that you bought at conference (logo wear, mini catalogs, etc.) into the box and ship it home. |

We will be in the middle of a huge city with a CVS on every corner. So really anything you forget and need you will be able to find it or those things you might need but most likely won't but feel you need to bring it don't worry about them. I understand you may not want to spend the extra $ when you have some at home but for me it's worth not bringing it if I most likely won't need it. JMO.  |
