Ed,

So many possibilities .......

We store:

John's Tevis which take up a lot of room and are heavy, too.
My Tevis which are usually too sandy to put in my suitcase.
Left over sun lotions ranging from #55 and down to #8.
Left over shampoos, skin lotions, and lots of personal stuff like that.
A sharp carving knife, rubber spatula and cheese slicer.
Some seasonings and left over rum - on the rare occasion there should happen to be any.
A small beach cooler.
A huge beach bag.
A grocery store carrier (left over from the days before Jeannie.....)
Sun hats for both of us.
Mosquito repellent and a citronella candle for the porch.
Night lights
A deck of playing cards
A small jack knife
Pool and beach pillows

And a ton of other little things, none of which are valuable or expensive and many of which I used to want each trip and often forgot to pack and ended up replacing every trip until we started doing this.

But don't forget, we come down twice a year so for us it's worth it where it might not be for others. It doesn't cost us a ton of money to do this and we don't have to race around finding and buying the same things I 'can't live without' and wasting all that time.

I really do hate to shop..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
