AW: Packing Tips

I leave for Maine on Friday!! So tonight and tomorrow night, I need to pack like a mad woman. We are staying in a cottage, which has many amenities, but I will need to pack some kichen/bathroom/general items aside from just clothes and personal items. I have a list going, but I figured I would share and see if anyone has anything to add :) Normally I would not torture you all with this, but the board seems slow today so I figured it would give us something to do.

Kitchen
 -Worcestershire sauce
- spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder, parsley, paprika, red pepper, etc)
- paper towels
- blender
- couple of good cutting knives
- kitchen towels
- cutting board
- spatula/wooden spoon/ladle
- plastic cups
- bottle opener
- coolers
- foil
- sandwich/freezer bags
- trash bags
- flip top gallon jug
- paper plates
- muffin pan
- measuring cups/spoons
- good EV olive oil
- condiments
- strainer
- sponge
- all-purpose cleaner

Bathroom
- towels
- toilet paper (they have some, but I bring a few rolls just in case)
- tissues
- toothpaste/toothbrushes
- body wash
- face wash
- shampoo/conditioner
- hair dryer/straightener
- shaving cream
- deodorant
- perfume
- makeup/remover
- lotion
- nail file
- nail polish/remover (because I will be attending 2 weddings, so I must make sure my beached-out toes stay nice!)

General/Misc/Fun
- sheets/pillows/pillowcases
- board games/cards
- lighter
- flashlight/batteries
- camera
- iPod/dock
- beach chairs
- phone charger
- sunscreen
- aloe vera
- bug spray
- pens/pencils/notebook
- Kindle
- puzzle books
- first aid kit
- vitamins
- laundry basket
- dog food, bowls, treats, toys, leash, collar, head harness


Anything I am missing? I compiled this list from memory and a couple of different websites. Does anyone have a website list that they go by every time they pack?

Thanks for any help provided! This is more for myself to refer to than anything else :)

    Are you driving on flying?  If you are flying make sure you pack all of the wet stuff in plastic bags.
