Things that never made it out of my suitcase:
- 4 pairs of socks
- the “nice” shorts
- 1 “decent” t-shirt
- my least comfortable swimsuit top
- airpods
- 2 bras
- mascara
- student writing that needs to be graded by Monday
- my second & third books
Things I found exactly where I dropped them the day we arrived
- one pair of lightweight pants
- one sweatshirt
- shoes with laces
- compression socks
Things to put in my backpack
- book #2
- a few scavenged seashells and three small pieces of sea glass
- water bottle
- journal – the seats are too small for a laptop
- sand, whether I want it or not
Things I will not bring home
- sunscreen
- a half-full bottle of moisturizer, now empty
- travel razor
- regrets

lists that sum up a successful vacation!
