We are going on a trip yay!
It’s been 3 years since our last vacation and looking forward for a whole new perspective, visit places, meet people, discover their culture and the best part is to taste their food (Spanish tapas – yum!)
Here’s an accustomed checklist of mine improved through time & designed for long trips with young family members, kids and also elderly having special needs.
-
passport (VISA if applicable) – first on the list, obviously you can’t travel without it 😉
-
itinerary – unless you want to be carefree with your trip, be adventurous and just visit the places you’d like to see in your own time.
-
airplane tickets – internet made everything so easy and convenient. From buying to check in. Hooray for internet!
-
book your room – for me this is very important, it’s your home away from home. There are several sites that will help you choose the best hotel that suits you. Below are direct links for legit and safe – hotel booking sites ↓ you’re welcome 🙂
-
medicines – the basic over-the-counter medicines, in no particular order; pain reliever, anti-diarrhea, for motion sickness, for dyspepsia, maintenance medicines for our elder companions (anti-hypertensive, anti-cholesterol, etc), anti-histamine for allergies and first aid kit.
-
neck pillows – because sleep or even quick nap is a must!
-
shawl/cap – to keep you warm & cap for sun protection
-
clothing and other accessories – if fashion is your statement
-
vitamins and supplements – to support our immune system as we are exposed to a different environment when we travel
-
camera and extra memory cards – to store priceless selfies and memories
-
phone chargers, cable and adaptor – across the world, there are varying power outlets that may be different from your plug
-
powerbank – as we take a lot of selfies, our phone’s/camera’s batteries drain faster than usual
-
a good book
-
traveler’s notebook and pen
-
toiletries
And the rest is all up to you 😉
