So much of the advice I've read says; 'pack small, buy it when you get there'. My advice is different. Do you really want to spend 3 days of your 7 day holiday looking for sun glasses or swim goggles, or a bra, or a bathing suit? Hell NO! Pack what you think you'll need, even if it is bigger than a carry on. That $25 for a checked bag is nothing compared to the lost time spent searching for the thing that will help you enjoy the beach/mountain/mall. Bring it with you is my advice. You've got the added advantage of anticipation then as well. I find that anticipation of a holiday is almost as fun as being on the holiday - everything (good and bad) has yet to happen and it's all in that lovely place called, 'the future' (or pandora's box if you aren't a travelling sort).
Pack large is my advice, 'cause often as not, that 'thing' which will make the holiday complete is simply not available where you are going. If necessary you can always leave it behind.
