Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more formal occasions, such as a dinner or a business meeting. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for more casual occasions, such as a night out or a day at the beach. Pack a few items of clothing that are suitable for the rainy season, such as a raincoat and waterproof shoes. Bring a few items of clothing that are suitable for the cooler months, such as a light jacket or sweater. Pack a few items of personal hygiene, such as shampoo, soap, and toothpaste. Bring a few items of entertainment, such as books, music, and movies. Pack a few items of comfort, such as a pillow, blanket, and favorite stuffed animal.
