When it comes to packing we can sometimes have a hard time with it. I’ve often left it to the last minute or forgotten something very important like pants. Luckily I was only an hour away so I was able to go back and get them. Now I’ve been using a packing checklist I’ve created to make sure that I won’t forget anything anymore or stress out when packing the last minute wondering if I’m forgetting something.

Carry On
First up we can start with what to pack in your carry on. This is the spot to put anything you absolutely cannot loose just in case your luggage gets lost. This is where you should keep things such as your wallet, passport, and electronics for example. I also like to keep stuff in my carry on to keep me entertained. I think to download movies from Netflix onto my phone as well as take my kindle with me. If you want to know how to survive a long haul flight you can read that post here.
Seasonal
A lot of your packing has to do with where you are going on your trip. Are you going to a beach where you would need to bring your bathing suit and sunscreen? Or are you going somewhere with snow so you need to pack lots of warm clothes.
Suitcase
As for what to pack in your suitcase this would be everything you need that won’t fit in your carry on. Make sure that you look up to see what you can and can’t pack in your suitcase for the airline your using as well as a weight maximum. Also, make sure to put any liquids in a plastic bag so the pressure from the airplane doesn’t make them explode onto the rest of your things.
Other
Last up is things to bring that you may forget about such as a plug in converter or bandages. I always forget to bring bandages and I’ve definitely needed them a few times. Also, if you forget a plug converter where you need it you can be in some big trouble without it.
Feel free to use my packing checklist for yourself and print out so you can check each thing off. I’ve also left a blank spot in other in case you want to add something else of your own. Have fun on your vacation!
