Here, you can check out the most common items that people usually forget, but are essential, when going on holiday! 

1. Passport

Your passport is the very first thing you should grab when packing for a trip! Be sure that there are at least six months left to run on your passport. An out-of-date passport will not get you anywhere.

2. Airline tickets

Airline tickets and hotel booking confirmation, hotel transfer information and any country entry visas – some destinations around the world require one – so make sure you have all the paperwork in-date and correct.      

3. Free Medical Coverage

Check to see if you can get free medical coverage at your chosen destination. You have to complete a form, but it will give you that extra peace of mind. Also, think about whether you need any injections before you travel and bring any medication with you unopened in a sealable, see-through plastic bag with labels stating what the medicine is.

  
4. Travel Insurance

Accidents can happen no matter where you travel. Getting sick on holiday too can sometimes happen, so having a quality travel insurance policy is essential. Occasionally, going wrong with flights and other holiday-associated hiccups. It is better to be protected for all eventualities. 

5. Suitable clothing

Choosing the best clothing for your chosen destination is very important! When skiing in a t-shirt and shorts might not be the best attire or hiking Everest in a lime green mankini! Be prepared – to be properly equipped with the right clothing and footwear, do a little research on your chosen destination, and you will thank yourself in the long run!

    
6. A mobile phone

A phone charger and plug adaptor are essential. Many destinations use two-pin plugs, but it is worth checking. It is always good to stay in touch in case any problems arise.     

7. A good quality suitcase

Suitcase with a secure lock. There are many scams and possible attempts at extra items being added to your luggage without you knowing. Travelling can be hazardous if you don’t take precautions. You can also lose valuable items too, and not everyone is honest. It is worth buying additional security for your suitcase(s).

8. Camera

If your mobile phone does not have a good camera, bring one; memories are priceless. 

9. Nappies

Also other baby-related changing accessories; a wet and soggy baby is an unhappy baby

10. Never carry liquids

liquids and aerosols in your luggage or try to take them on the plane, except medication as mentioned above. 

Having a good sense of humour on holiday is a must. Holidays are about having fun, relaxing, and exploring. So, enjoy yourself and leave all your moans and groans behind!
