What is it about the Maxi Dress that has everyone wearing them. To me they seam cumbersome and hot but they are cute with a great pair of wedges.
This one is from Banana Republic and of course it is pink because you all know that is my favorite color.
And of course no trip would be complete without packing the infamous Little Black Dress. Here are a couple that I find suitable for various occasions.

Thanks for the tips that were really informative and I think you have posted these travel tips at right time as many people must thinking to go for holidays as vacation of kids have started.
Thanks for the tips, and I agree, that's a lot to be packing. BTW I have a leatherman on my key chain so no need to pack one of those!
I'm pretty sure we won't need water purifying tablets, or any skiing equip!
That is one long a** list! OMG! I still need to find some wedges to go with my maxi dresses. LOL
