Tips For Traveling

It is important to bring the proper things when you are traveling so I’ve made a list here that can help you. Pack light – it is easy to travel when you don’t have too many bags with you, don’t miss your flight. . .

  • Pack light, bringing only necessities which may include:
    • Wired earphones are a good idea if your plane has TVs installed. Usually if you are going on a seven hour flight or longer, most planes will give a free set of earphones. Plus if you brought your own earphones you could start watching right away
    • You can also bring an Ipad or tablet with you because some planes don’t have TVs
    • If you like to read, books are nice to keep you busy if you’re going on a long flight
    • Snacks: trail mix, cookies, chips, gummy bears, crackers, . . . (must be in small bags)
    • Hoodie/ sweater because you never know when you might need it!
    • Passport and boarding pass. Make sure you keep these in a bag where you can easily get them out when needed (carry on bag)
    • Prescriptions (If you have any, also don’t put them in checked bags!)
    • Bring some spending money for souvenirs!
  • If you are traveling by plane don’t miss your flight; be at the airport two hours early
  • Don’t go to bed late, especially when you have an early morning flight. Set an alarm clock for the time you need to wake up
  • Put toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and toothpaste) in a Ziplock to avoid spills
  • Pack the proper attire for your trip:
    • Tropical destination: Sunblock, sun hat, sun glasses, bathing suit, flip flops, towel, shorts and a T-shirt. I like the towels from https://seatosummitusa.com/ because they are light weight and absorbent
    • Winter vacation: Hat, mitts, scarf, jacket, warm boots, long sleeve shirts, and warm pants
  • Camera or a smart phone for taking pictures
  • Pen and notebook to write about your trip
