Maybe some colored pencils too. But seriously, that's it. I start packing jewelry stuff and we'd need another vehicle to carry it all, because I'd want to bring everything so I didn't forget anything, and that's simply not practical. Then there'd be set up in a new spot, a huge space taken up by all the containers, etc. that it took to carry it all, and pack back up whtn we're done. Ugh! I don't want anything other than my clothes and toiletries to remind me of anything back home when I'm on vacation.
As much as I love making jewelry, how could I want to be bending over tiny seed beads or wrapping wire while on vacation when I have this to enjoy? Nope, just pass me the margarita, please.

Sounds like you totally chill when you're away - good for you! Love your post.
I admire your resolution. Since I don't get to bead much when I'm home, I always view vacation as a time to get something finished. So I don't think I could actually leave without bringing something along.
Can't do without my pliers. Magharita in my left hand, pliers in the right one :)
You should start wire crocheting, Jeanne ... a hook, some wire, a few tiny beads, it's all you need. Not even the pliers, you can finish it at home.
Come on .... you know you want to try it ...
Eeeek!!
I don't take any beads with me... maybe pliers, who knows what I may need those for... fixing the truck.... I usually take my knitting though so I have something to do when we're driving!
Lovley pictures!
Thanks everyone. I think it's easy for me to *not* take my jewelry stuff with me because I love to chillax during my vacays - and it would feel like home if I'm doing something the same as I do at home. One time though, I learned from one of our visiting guests how to braid a jacob's ladder (basically macrame) with beachy looking beads. That was fun... I could do that again I guess because all you need is a hook, some string, beads and scissors. :)
I hear ya, Jeanne. I just can't settle down enough while on vacation to concentrate on jewelry making.
Bead stores - absolutely!
Craft & street fairs - for sure!
Night life - you bet!
