A few important items should always go in your carry-on: electronics, medications, lotion, a toothbrush, and an extra pair of underwear. A swimsuit and sunscreen are also good ideas if you are going on a beach vacation. We hate to think about our luggage not reaching our destination, but it's always a good idea to prepare for these types of inconveniences. Besides, making sure you at least have your essentials upon arrival can help ease your mind. Although you may be able to buy most of these items if your bag gets lost, having them in your carry-on will save you money and time. Also, if you have more than one carry-on, it's a good idea to put some of your personal items in each bag just in case one goes missing. For international/longer flights, also packing a good book will help the time go by faster. Watching on-board movies is cool, but sometimes you may have already seen them and a book is the perfect back-up.
There are so many opportunities to be pro-active so you can enjoy your vacation regardless of lost luggage, delayed flights, etc.
