Pack Well for Travel

By: Trudie Simpson-

Your longed for holiday has finally arrived. Are you well prepared for your trip? Often in the excitement leading up to departure essential luggage items can be over looked. Obviously a weekend away is different from an overseas trip so you must pack accordingly.

Once you have your list then add the following. The three essentials are, Toiletries, travel documents and First Aid.

The point is by taking care of the basics now and taking them with you can save you precious time while you travel. Who wants to spend a day searching for a pharmacy or explaining symptoms to someone that does not speak the language?

First Aid kits are now being produced to cover any type of travel. They come in neat compact kits for all budgets. They are useful to keep at home or in the car.Whatever type of travel you are doing there will be a kit to suit or you can put your own together.

Your first aid kit should include at least the following: Stomach remedies, pain relief medicine and antiseptic cream. Eye drops may be useful. Temporary dental filling can be especially usefull. If your kit contains scissors, tweezers and safety pins remember to put them in your checked luggage.No good having it all confiscated before you leave the country!

After your everyday essentials include the following. Medicated wipes, tissues, dental floss or tooth picks. Sun cream, lip balm and body moisturizer if the climate is cold or dry. Emery boards can save annoyance of ragged nails. Insect repellent if traveling outside of cities. Men don't forget your razor!

If you are on medication make sure you have enough for your whole trip and then some. Don't assume that your destination country pharmacy will stock your brand of medicine or that you will be able to get your prescription filled over seas.

If traveling alone try to have emergency contact information on you at all times. Copies of your passport, travel ordinary and travel insurance documents should travel with you. Carry these document separate from the originals.

With a little planning and a few extra items be confident that you have everything you need to enjoy your adventure. Bon Voyage!
