My camera! I bring my dslr with a lens or two, my point and shoot, and my flip video camera.
Since I have to carry it on, it ends up being a pretty big hassle. But I must take pics or die! 
My camera and charger for the camera. Also charger for my cell phone! I always pack WAYYY to many clothes because I know if I am gone for 5 days and pack 5 outfits, by the time I get there I wont want to wear half the clothes I brought!
I also pack wayyy to many outfits and shoes. For our last trip, 11 days in Mexico, I took 27 outfits (on top of my beach/pool clothes!) and 16 pairs of shoes/flip flops. I hate paying for an extra suitcase, but know I can't live without options.
Also, I must have chapstick and spray mist Neutrogena sunscreen with me at all times. I am addicted to SoftLips and burn super easy.
A book for the flight/drive, camera and extra memory cards, and no reservations! I try to attack every trip as if I will never be able to return to that place so I have to go with the flow, see and do as much as possible.
Books! I have to have books! I'm also really bad about overpacking. I will bring a pair of shoes for each day and end up only wearing two.
Dont know where I am going for HM ( It's a suprise, find out from FH wedding night!) But I am OCD for my accessories when I travel. Travel with too many earrings, bracelets, fashion jewelry & scarves. I usually just wear plain tee with jeans and heels to travel & change it up each time with different accessories - saves me some travel money :)
Sunscreen, comfy shoes, nice flowy skirt, some crochet project, and a good book for the flight!
Oooh good post. On my honeymoon, I was adamant about limiting my shoes. I was going to Europe for two weeks (4 places) and I wanted to make sure I had enough close. So I coordinated all of my clothes so that I only took BLACK shoes. This cut down on a lot (I didn't have to bring black & brown heels, plus black and brown flip flops, etc).
Other random items: little items of sunscreen, purell, chapstick, advil advil advil, journal, extra underwear, great walking shoes (I actually bought a nice pair of flip flops-- not the absolute cutest, but still cute and they had a ton of support so i could walk in them all day. tons of fun lingerie... it IS your honeymoon after all! Oh, and my camera (of course!!!!) and my laptop so I could load all of my pictures onto my laptop each night, and have a fresh memory card for the next adventure!
In terms of clothes, I found that a few different colored pashminas were great- I could use them as wraps or scarfs and they would look totally different one night to the next. Another great thing to do to save space is to take dresses. That way, instead of having to worry about shorts & a t-shirt, I could just throw on a dress. I looked a little more put-together (great for pictures!) but was still super comfortable.
I just got back, so I can definitively say that our best grab was some of the extra champagne from the wedding, a corkscrew and the leftover cake. We ate cake for 8 days and had champagne or wine almost every evening after hiking.
Of course, it helps if you are driving to your destination to bring these things, but we were so glad to have them!
Doctorgirl, I second that. We couldn't bring champagne with us on the plane, but my FI contacted all of the hotels before we went over, and they ALL gave us a bottle of champagne on ice upon arriving at our room, to celebrate our honeymoon. It was a great way to celebrate the whole way through the honeymoon!!!!!! The Ritz even gave us chocolate covered strawberries too!!!!!
Sunblock is the #1 thing on my list! We are both fair skinned.
good wine, MONEY! and meds: aleve, zyrtec, eye drops, exedrin ( i get migraines), especially if you're heading out of the country.
sarongs and scarves because they are so versatile! i don't usually travel with too much jewelry, but a couple of great earrings will take you from a casual daytrip to an evening out painting the town red! also ziplock bags and floss!
Cell phone, camera (chargers for both), birth control, a notebook, and wayy too many of the "essentials" clothes wise...and my hubby :) :)
camera (both my Nikon D60 and my digital one), lingerie, birth control or condoms (depending on if I'm still on bc than), my husband is definite! And, probably have to go with some champagne as well..:D Oh--swimsuit.
Maybe some clothes...might just stay inside all day 
lol. but he'll have to his own luggage, we usually only share one but I know I will overpack clothes and shoes as well for the honeymoon in europe! eee...makes me so excited and it's still a year and half away..
@honeybunny--lol
I'm addicted to my camera and iPhone so I don't go anywhere without them. The honeymoon was no exception. Other than that, I just gotta have some comfortable clothes and I'm good to go!
:)
i'm trying to pack super-light so I can carry on! We're going to be doing so much train and plane hopping, it'll be way more relaxing that way. I plan on packing a few swimsuits, some light, breezy dresses, and some teeny tiny toiletries. And of course, a ton of books to read and my Ipod!
BeachBride - what a great idea! I never thought of coordinating my packing for only one set of shoes! that would make things so much easier.
We are going to the mountains, so I will have to have scarfs, jeans (I always pack to many jeans) and my cardie uggs
Camera, cigarettes (yes I smoke and yes I know it is bad), dresses, swimsuit, comfy shoes. A passport would probsbly be helpful as well.
@doctorgirl - I am ALL over taking the leftover cake and hopefully candy from our candy buffet...we are road tripping it, and as we now reach the 35 day mark, I am actually fantisizing about that damn leftover cake. I'm pretty much planning on not worrying about the diet at all while on the honeymoon, and for some reason this is the big symbol of that - tooling down the highway with the new hubby, and reaching back into our cooler o' love for a piece of our leftover cake!
I can't live without books, my camera, my laptop, comfy clothes, sexy lingerie, our dog, and my swimsuit. I'm a chronic overpacker, which isn't helped by the fact that we're driving - just toss one more thing in the trunk! But I'm trying my best to just take a few comfy things, one nice dress and pair of shoes, and the above mentioned stuff. We're either going to be in the car, or in the hotel room/by the pool, with maybe a few nice dinners thrown in...I can't WAIT to be done with all this, and just on the road - it's taking on epic proportions the closer we get!!
I was fine as long as I had my camera (and charger), bathing suits, and my toiletries! I'm really picky about the products I use (even though they're nothing fancy). Plus my skin is really sensitive and it will freak out if I don't use my usual products!!!!
Besides my hubby? My camera, how else can I blog about it?
SUNBLOCK AND BUG SPRAY!!! Sounds unromantic? Nothing is more unromantic than sun burn and itching mosquito bites. (Speaking from experience) :P
I guess, since he "has" too be there (lol) my FH and a good book. Cell phone charger and SHOES!
This is almost certainly TMI but I wish I had this info before I went on my honeymoon... be sure to pack some medications for yeast infections and UTI's. Between the stress of the wedding, the lack of sleep due to travel, the wet swimsuits, the lack of toilet paper in the restrooms, and playing "twister"...let's just say I was one unhappy camper!
I def. have to bring an extra pair of contact lenses on the plane because I lost one in my sleep once while on an international flight and it's not fun being one eyed!
We went to Europe on our honeymoon and I learned to bring a book in case the entertainment system is broken and some motion sickness pills in case there's a lot of turbulence. Yeah, that was NOT a fun flight!
The one thing I never travel without is my camera. I was so worried about battery life and not having enough room for all the pictures I'd take while out that I bought 2 backup batteries and 32GB of memory (in addition to the 2 GB's that I already had). That was way more than enough for 10 days haha.
I def will bring a camera. I must have my skin care stuff, allergy eye drops, and sexy lingerie.
Really, I've learned to pack light. It's so much easier. I used to bring my entire life ... but figured out I use like 10% of what I bring.
Our honeymoon will be CHILLY. So I will make sure not to try to be tough, and pack LOTS AND LOTS OF SWEATERS (I say, sitting in Cambria on a 50-degree night and shivering my head off).
I was happy to have good wine and my husband with me. :) Bringing a camera was also great--I wanted to make sure we had photos during our first week of marriage. And for the record, I brought so many shoes, I didn't wear half of the pairs I brought.

What is something that you know you have to have when you travel?
Well for my honeymoon it will be some sexy night cloths, but traveling in general I am OCD about shoes. I always pack way to many shoes!
