Are you travelling once you are there- by plane or car??
I usually write an essential list- stuff I will need.
ie Underwear, swimwear, socks?, 1 pr of shoes..
then on my bed, lay whole outfits together add a few coloured belts or scarfs- handy when the weather is changeable..
I will probably think of more when you answer the above Qs..
Swimwear - are you kidding me.

That reminds me of a friend's story.
She & her OH went to Papua - New Guinea for work.
The luxury of house persons is sometimes no luxury.
She had the best Marilyn Monroe - electrically pleated skirt.
Sent it off with the house - person (boy) for laundering.
He was extremely excited returning it to her.
'Missy, missy, got all the creases out'.
To say she was beside herself - doesn't quite cover it.

I usually do my own laundry for these reasons..not a big deal..
A few years ago, I went to Paris fashion week for 2 weeks work and had to survive (!) with carryon luggage-the boss told me we had to 'look fashion'*..it was the 1 pair of shoes that did my head in..so I bought a couple of pairs whilst there..haha
*yes, he really did say that.
You should have done his head in with a pair of thongs.
