Traveling can be stressful, there are so many things you need to do, important things can easily slip your mind. We want you to have a stress free and enjoyable vacation, so this list will help you of important things you might need to pack, that you otherwise would have forgotten.
First of all, the important things, which you do definitely do not want to forget:
- Passport / identity card
- Driver’s license
- Wallet / money / cash
- Health / Travel insurance card
- Any required medication
Our advice is to scan and send a copy to yourself (and partner) all your important documents.
Luggage for your trip
Before you rush out to get your suitcase. Pause for a moment, sometimes it is better to use a soft case bag instead of a hard case suitcase. It is far more easier to get more luggage in a boot of car with soft case bags.
Pack clothes that can easily be mixed and matched – The key to maximizing suitcase space is selecting versatile clothes. Opting for synthetic fabrics is a smart choice, as they dry quickly and require minimal upkeep. The winning ratio is 3:1: pack three tops for every bottom. When it comes to footwear the general advice is to pack 3 pairs: comfy shoes for walking, sandals and heels (but sneak in some flip flops 😊).
How to pack is like a game of Tetris. Instead of stacking t-shirs and jeans on top another, a space saving technique is to roll each item, only fold items to keep them ‘wrinkle free’.
Bring a resealable bag for dirty clothes – by doing this you prevent your clean clothes from mingling with the dirty ones. It is so nice to keep clothes smelling nice & fresh.
Headphones
This one seems obvious but nowadays it must have on the plane, watching your favorite episode while waiting for the ferry or just relaxing on the beach listening to your favorite songs.
Bring a scarf for the plan in your carry-non
No matter what season it is, planes are often on the chilly side. If the temperature doesn’t feel comfortable, wrap it around you. Bonus: you can also use it as a pillow.
Portable charging bank
When traveling, you’ll use a lot of your battery taking pictures, getting directions etc. With most of our rental cars you are able to charge your phone, don’t forget to bring your cable! So, you will not find yourself with a dead phone right before a beautiful sunset.
Beach Bag
When you are ready to go with your brand-new bathing suit, bath towel, sunscreen, water bottle, phone, snacks, floppy hat…… how are you going to carry all that? You don’t want end-up carrying all that in a plastic bag from the local supermarket ☹.
Collapsable water bottle
This is so handy, because typical reusable water bottles are bulky. You can easily pack it in your carry-on bag. Staying hydrated is important while traveling, especially when you’re walking in the sun seeing beautiful sights.
Pen
Most of the time you don’t need this anymore because you can text or make notes on your phone. But this one falls in the category ‘better safe than sorry’ and it doesn't take any space at all in your travelling bag.
Hey Ho, Let’s Go !!!!
