After our first trip to OKW, we made a list of things we would have liked to have taken with us. Now we just have a check list and check them off as we pack. Some of these are things you can shop for at the market on your way from the airport too. We usually pack laundry tablets, sugar, those picnic salt and pepper shakers, coffee, tea, salad dressing ( in case we can't find our favorite kind there), oatmeal, a non-stick fry pan, and a large microwave container. We find most everything else in the kitchen is to our liking. We don't mind the flat bottom sheets, and LOVE the washer dryer in the unit! It saves us from having to pack the whole closet! We usually bring two hot weather outfits, one cool weather outfit, and enough under wear for 4 days as well as two pairs of shoes per person. We can usually get all of this into 3 carry on size cases. Of course, the one with the kitchen things is a little heavy, but...! We plan on doing one load of clothes a day. That is what keeps our clothes packing to a minimum. We also like to wash the night before we go home, as clean clothes pack much easier than dirty ones!
