I take 2 pairs of swimmers (take a while to dry) I take 3 good underwear sets and I take my old bras & undies that I am going to toss . I get laundry done every couple of days (SO CHEAP) I wear the good underwear and get it washed but the last few days I wear the old stuff & put it in the bin ( I have this thing about travelling with dirty clothes) I also take my singlet tops I'm going to replace too. I have always taken a thin beach towel and I leave it too. I often take an old pair of sandals or thongs that I don't intend to bring back. I sleep in an old thin Tshirt - it too gets tossed . I don't carry a vanity bag but rather a strong plastic bag with my shampoo etc - none of this comes back I leave it with the ladies on the beach. I don't take full containers of moisturiser etc I can usually guess how much I will need and I put that size away and open a new one at home _ I have a travel cosmetics container in my vanity so I store toothpaste and other stuff before I go (Does this make any sense) I use to wear my old joggers and leave them too but now I don't even bother with joggers. If I go in winter I leave my coator jumper in the car and get into the terminal as quick as possible. Most of the time the dress codes are casual so you do not need too many dressy outfits - people dine in shorts & sandals in many places. Get you laundry done every couple of days is the best advice I can give you
