Packing appropriately is key to successful vacation planning. Leaving an essential behind can have you hunting in vain for the nearest convenience store. On the other hand, you don’t want to pack too much either. Here are the most vital items to put inside your suitcase.

Hygiene Products

While your travel agent may find you an excellent hotel that provides some of these amenities, you may want to bring yours in case what you need isn’t provided. Pack small bottles of shampoo, conditioner, contact lens solution, and moisturizer. When you go to your drugstore, pick up travel-sized versions of your preferred toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash, and first aid products.

Travel Essentials

During the preliminary stages of your vacation planning, put all of your important credentials in one place. This includes your passport, boarding pass, and identification. Fill your carry on with the basics that you’ll need en route, like a neck pillow and a blanket for comfort, tissues, medication, hand sanitizer, and a light sweater or jacket. All liquids should be in sealed containers that hold no more than 3.4 ounces each.

Proper Clothing

Prioritize comfort and convenience during the vacation planning process. For example, if you’ll be in Japan, you may visit temples and restaurants that require you to remove your footwear before entering. Pack slip-on footwear that’s easy to remove quickly. Other cities and religious places may require you to dress modestly, so bring a light jacket and forego the cropped shirts. Bring a backpack or crossbody purse to securely keep your on-the-go essentials with you while you’re exploring the town.
