Travel Tips

And no, we're not going to talk about memory games to pass the time in the car today! Instead, I'm offering you a checklist of what you absolutely MUST NOT forget when travelling in the south!

Money and documents

  • Passport, visas and photocopies thereof
  • Insurance documents and photocopies thereof
  • Airline tickets, hotel and transfer vouchers, and photocopies thereof
  • Cash
  • Credit cards and bank cards

A little tip: These important documents should be with you at all times.

First aid kit

  • Prescription medications and their prescription
  • Medications for flu, headaches, allergies, diarrhea, stomach aches and all other minor ailments!
  • Pain reliever creams (like Polysporin) and adhesive bandages

Toiletry bag

  • Shampoo
  • Shower soap/gel
  • Facial cleanser
  • Brush/comb
  • Deodorant
  • Shaving kit
  • Toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss
  • Eyeglasses, contact lenses and cleaning solution
  • Antibacterial hand cream
  • Sunscreen and after-sun cream (in case of sunburn!)
  • Mosquito repellent

Clothes

  • Underwear
  • swimsuit
  • Hat or cap
  • Shorts, bermudas
  • Pants
  • Shirts
  • T-shirts
  • Jackets for cooler evenings
  • Windbreaker
  • Pajamas
  • Sandals, flip-flops, water shoes, clean shoes, and comfortable shoes

Miscellaneous

  • Tourist guide
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera/batteries/memory card
  • Power adapter/converter
  • Cell phone charger
  • Books/magazines
  • Umbrella
  • Beach bag
  • Card game (for waiting at the airport!)
  • iPod/MP3/charger
  • Travel pillow

This is a good starting point for your luggage! However, make sure you don't exceed the airline's limits.

If you have any ideas, feel free to share!

Have a good trip!
