Listed below is a checklist
of items that you should consider when packing for vacation.
- Always place all important
documents such as your passport, tickets, travel insurance
documents, hotel contact numbers, emergency numbers in a bag that's
easily accessible, and carry it with you on your flights.
- When going to a warm climate
always pack your swimsuit, sunscreen, beach shoes in a carry-on bag
so you can hit the pool if your room isn't ready when you arrive.
The front desk will store your suitcases for you until you can check
in.
- Snacks for travel are always
a good idea especially if you are traveling with children.
Airport food is quite expensive.
- Be sure to include a good
book or magazines for the flight as well as sitting at the pool.
- If your resort offers an
upscale restaurant that you plan to visit check in advance to see
the dress code and bring the appropriate clothes.
- Be sure to bring a light
jacket or sweater because sometimes evening breezes can be cool.
- Sunscreen with a high SPF,
hat or visor and sunglasses are a necessity in tropical climates.
- If you expect to do any
hiking, you might also add insect repellent to the list.
- Scuba divers should bring
their diving certification card.
- A few resorts offer horseback
riding along the beach. If you plan to do this, bring long pants.
- Make sure you have a pen in
your bag for filling out custom forms.
- Pack a deck of cards and
electronic devices for music and games into your carry-on bag for
long delays and layovers at airports. This is especially useful if
you're traveling with kids.
- Bring camera film or memory
cards and extra camera batteries from home, as these items can be
pricey if purchased at a resort.
- Pack an extra pair of
contacts or glasses.
- Put prescription medicines in
your carry-on bag, in case your checked luggage is delayed.
- If you have a laptop computer
and you want to stay connected to home or work, find out if your
hotel has in-room or wireless Internet access. Always carry your
laptop onboard your flights.
- Some resorts do not have wash
clothes so you may want to put a few in your suitcase.
