| Travel Checklist |
 |
| Don't leave home without your identification. |
| ||||||
| Travel Checklist I usually make a checklist for myself, just so that I don't forget the simpler items. The list changes, of course, depending on the length of the trip and the destination, but the following are items I usually take abroad: Passport - Don't leave home without it! Copy of passport - Handy if the original is lost or stolen. Make a photocopy or two. Traveler's checks - I've never been robbed of money abroad and you get a better exchange rate if you have cash. But they are a good form of insurance. Alarm clock - Rarely needed except for the early morning departure; make sure you test it before you leave! Some look very smart, are very light, and barely make a noise that can be registered by humans - watch out! Pocket Knife - MacGyver (in Spanish, Mac-Gee-ver) has one; so should you. Insect Repellant/Anti-Itch Gel - Comuning with nature can be pleasant if nature isn't biting. I'm generally more concerned with pesky insects than large mammals, so bring along some repellant, and if you are bit, something that will relieve the itch. My choices - Itch-X or Caladryl's Calamina lotion. Antiobiotic lotion - Speeds up the recovery of cuts and wounds. Flashlight - Signature trade-mark of both the X-Files and savvy travelers. Dental Floss - Can be used as string for a multitude of purposes besides flossing - not that I've ever had to tie my shoes or backpack with it, but I could if I had to. Candy - Great energy pick-me-up on a trail. (Don't forget your dental floss afterwards) Dictionary - Learn a foreign language one word at a time! It's actually quite easy. In the beginning stage of learning Spanish or German, I'd pick up a newspaper and start "reading." In the dictionary, I'd put a mark next to the foreign word. By the second or third time of looking it up, I discovered it was actually part of my new vocabulary. Books - Bring something you've meant to read; also think of bringing books you can leave behind at a library or book exchange Travel Guidebooks - Guidebooks offer an insider's view of the place you're visiting. I usually carry two or three books on a trip and pick up more materials en route. It's okay to disagree with the author, and probably best to let him or her know when you return. Plastic bags - They can keep your shampoo from bubbling over things in your luggage. Gifts - Depending on who you are visiting, great gifts are local music you enjoy, videotapes, books, and packaged foods. -Place a dryer sheet in your purse/wallet-keeps insects away if you are out of doors (Mosquitos hate them) could be placed in belt or hat. -Remember to bring your prescription medication along with a perscription (written) just in case you lose the bottle. -a plastic garbage bag for dirty laundry. |
