What should I pack ?

What are you packing?

K. its not going to close.

I have been asked this question many...many times.

This post is going to have lots of pics.

Because, as the saying goes...
A photo is worth a thousand words
... so here we go !

Yes a towel, all hotels have them, but many hotels use industry grade laundry detergents that can have reactions to certain skin types. I learnt that lesson the hard way :(

I am a sleeper, so my PJ's are a necessity. It's a rule, not matter what time of the day or night that I check into my hotel room, I must take a nap. Flying takes a lot out of your body. So, be kind to yourself and shut down for a few minutes.

Socks, Underwear and Vests: 3 to 4 of each.

Ok, let's identify what we are looking at in the photo above:

1. A sensible pair of jeans, you only need ONE pair.
2. One practical jacket/coat.
3. One comfortable pair of shoes and one belt.
4. Two shirts
5. One scarf
6. One pair of glove.

This particular list is clearly for colder weather destinations.

       A nice trio to have :)

 

 

 

 

 

Again, all hotels have alarm clocks and most have a wake-up call request. But sometimes "Murphy's Law" likes to have some fun with you aka be prepared.

 

Toiletries are a given, please don't go overboard. Its a vacation, you will be back home before you know it.

 

Lastly, toss a bottle of water in your checked luggage, try this the next time you get into your hotel room. I promise you, you are going to finish that bottle.

 

Fact: Flying dehydrates you.

Oh and one more thing. while you are relaxing in your hotel room, you may want to throw in a pair of slippers.

                      One pair is all you need.


And for warmer destination.

Add a pair of casual short pants                                                    
















Two to three T-shirts for the most.





 and your swimwear & sunglasses !


         Now close the suitcase, you are done with packing...
