This contest is closed.

After 18 months of research, Hyatt has recently come out with a new array of offerings geared toward the frequent traveler. The new features are tailored to guests’ individual preferences, and include a service providing frequently forgotten items, healthy new menu options, and upgraded bath amenities. I have experienced all of these firsthand, and I think road warriors and warriorettes will benefit tremendously! (I’ll be doing an in-depth review this week, so stay tuned!)

To celebrate, we are doing a contest and the winner wins one free night at a U.S. Hyatt Place! To enter, please leave a comment answering the following question: The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is_________. (And let’s be more original than, say, “my computer,” because everyone needs that!) The contest runs through Monday, April 22 at midnight CDT and the winner will be chosen randomly on Tuesday April 23. As always, one entry per person.

The bulkiest item I can’t live without is, no question, my curling iron. My computer is on that list too (of course!) plus my makeup. I’m not sure what it says that 2 out of 3 items are grooming related…..

Good luck!!

Comments

  1. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my coat when going to a cold climate!

  2. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is duty free scotch whisky when I don’t have a direct flight home and need to go through customs before rechecking my bag and boarding my connecting flight.

  3. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is definitely those noise cancelling headphones. Total lifesaver!

  4. Snorkel gear. Well worth it. And I’d rather use my own gear. My daughter hit a sea urchin (ouch!) without her fins. So, I drag them, too.

  5. Definitely shoes, I usually just have to pick a pair and go with it. Also I can’t stand not having my Sonicare tooth brush but it is sorta bulky for what it is.

  6. Ugh… believe it or not, overnight pampers for my 3 year old. Domestic travel is not a big deal because you can pick them up at any CVS, but on international trips you have to bring your own otherwise they’re too pricey or difficult to find.

  7. My 1.75 liter of Vodka. Nice to relax in the room with a quiet drink. Pay Mini bar prices, I don’t think so.

  8. The bulkiest item I ever had to pack was our daughters wedding present. It was a Silver Kitchenaid Stand Mixer that we had to take out to her 1620 miles across the U.S.

  9. The bulkiest item I travel with is my pocketbook. I manage to throw in everything that’s not tied down, just in case I need a…flash drive, extra pair of glasses, piece of fruit, water, unread magazines, tissues, cosmetics,sunglasses, travel binoculars. How do guys do it??

  10. Big ol’honkin’ winter coat – especially when you’re travelling between extreme climes. Adds a whole bag.

  11. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my personal fins for scuba diving.

  12. Out of left field – but following the exact sentence – the bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is “my suitcase”. That is, I have to ‘pack it’. If I could do what one sports star does (can’t remember his name), and just buy everything new at each destination … wow, talk about stress-free travel!

  13. The bulkiest item I travel with is my liquids bag. Many small little bottles all having to fit in one little plastic bag

  14. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my custom tailored suit jacket. (You never know when you have to look snazzy.)

  15. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my Bose noise canceling headset (cause whether you’re in the taxi, hotel room, airport, or plane, peace and quiet starts with putting on a pair of these.

  16. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my purse! Since I carry a big laptop bag onto the plane (no purse), I need a separate purse to use at my destination.

  17. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my books (because I like reading print editions)

  18. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my lap-desk for doing work in bed.

  19. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my Dohm-SS Single Speed Sound Conditioner, for all those thin hotel walls, partiers and honeymooners 🙂

  20. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my dress shoes, since I go with tennis shoes on my feet when flying

  21. The bulkiest thing I have to pack is my medicine bag and I certainly can’t live without it.

  22. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is my SLR camera, because when I pack that, I bring extra lenses, charges, batteries, sound recording devices, smaller cameras, etc etc!

  23. The bulkiest item I have to pack and can’t live without is myself. I weigh over 300lbs.

  24. the bulkiest item i have to pack is the extra pair of shoes. (i could live without all my husbands work material when i travel with him.)

  25. The bulkiest item/s I have to pack and can’t live without is/are, seasonally, ski boots, snorkel equipment, hiking boots, and — always — too much lens for the dslr.
