Cruise Packing

Packing for a cruise or land vacation is always a chore.
I admit I am an over packer! I want everything that I need with me at all times. Unfortunately now that liquid cosmetics have to checked in my regular luggage and the weight of luggage is usually around a 50 lbs restriction by the airlines, this is getting to be a real task.
Here are some do's and don'ts for packing.
DO's
Take one basic color - this way you don't need a different color shoe for different outfits.
Take one sturdy pair of walking shoes.
You can wear something more than once. This took me a very long time to grasp. No one cares if they have already seen the outfit and chances are you will never see these people again.
Take a fanny pack instead of a pocketbook. A pocketbook can be torn from your shoulders but a fanny pack is more secure.
Use a diaper bag instead of a camera bag. Thieves are more likely to steal a camera bag than a diaper bag.
