| Clothes | Binoculars | Swimsuits |
| We each had only a carry-on suitcase for 3 days in NYC, followed by a 7-day cruise. I wore all but one dress shirt, didn’t wear 5 of the 7 t-shirts, wore only one of 2 pairs of long pants, and only one of 2 pairs of flip-flops I brought. | I have some mini-binoculars that have, arguably, gone on more trips without being used than anything else I own. I don’t even like them — the hinge is hard to adjust and they’re hard to focus. I might just get a wild hair and not bring them on our next trip. | Can you believe I was on a cruise ship with 2 free-fall drop slides, 2 whip-twister slides, a main pool, an adults-only pool, and no fewer than 5 hot tubs, and I didn’t wear either of the 2 swim suits I brought? And no, I didn’t do any skinny dipping. |
