We make a list of everything you need in advance

Everything valuable and necessary should always be at your fingertips in a travel bag, documents and money should preferably be kept in a waterproof one.

Never check your luggage, money, documents or medicine.

The documents:

• passport (foreign or domestic if you are traveling only about your own country);
• for a child, a birth certificate or passport;
• consent to leave if the child crosses the border without parents;
• plane, train, bus tickets;
• hotel booking documents, if any;
• driver's license if you are going to rent a car (in the countries of the Vienna Convention you can drive by national, Geneva by international law);
• travel insurance policy, if available;
• money and bank cards.

Important! When traveling abroad, be sure to take US dollars or euros, this is the most popular currency in the whole world.

Before the vacation, go to the bank and find out if your card is serviced in the countries you intend to visit. What is the cash withdrawal limit. It will not be superfluous to make several copies of the passport and store them separately from the documents. You should not take jewelry with you, get along with a small amount of jewelry. Take photos of documents and tickets on your phone.

First aid kit:

• pain reliever and antipyretic (Nurofen, Ibuprofen);
• sorbents for food poisoning (Polysorb, Enterosgel, activated carbon);

• broad-spectrum antibiotic (Amoxicillin, Flemoxin);
• plaster, bandage, antiseptic;

• gel or ointment for bites and burns joke (Akriderm, Bepanten).

These medicines won't take up much space in your carry-on luggage, but they can make your life much easier at the right time.
If you are using prescription drugs only, take it with you.

For asthmatics, allergy sufferers, and heart patients, emergency medications should be kept close at hand. If you are traveling alone, then you should warn the flight attendant, conductor, guide or your fellow travelers about your illness.

In general, in our time, almost all gadgets can be replaced with one smartphone. If you plan to use several gadgets at the same time, take a tee, a small extension cord, and a power adapter with you.

List of things to take to the sea

To begin with, you should decide what your vacation will be: active (excursions, walks, shopping) or calm (sea, sun, beach). The list of the seaside depends on your vacation plans.

For outdoor activities, it is very important to choose the right shoes:

• sneakers or sneakers for hiking and excursions;
• flip flops or sandals for going to the beach;
• beautiful sandals or open shoes on the way out.

No need to bring new, unworn shoes with you. We choose comfortable and comfortable pairs that do not chafe or squeeze. High heels and stiletto heels may not be appropriate in small resort towns.

On vacation you need a bag, or better two:

• roomy backpack or large bag for going to the beach, boat trip, excursion;
• a small elegant handbag that would hold keys, a telephone and some personal belongings.

You can't forget about hats when packing a suitcase for rest. It can be caps, hats, panamas, anything that will help us protect ourselves from the hot sun rays.

If you are going to spend most of your holiday on the beach, bring along plenty of pareos and beach sundresses.

Choosing clothes for a seaside vacation

• Breathable natural fabrics (cotton, linen, silk).
• Loose and slim fit.
• In southern countries, light long skirts and long-sleeved shirts will be appropriate to protect from the sun while walking.
• Bring a sweatshirt and waterproof windbreaker for evening walks.

Everyone wants to bring a lot of beautiful photos from vacation. Therefore, we correctly compile a list of things at sea. It is worth taking a few shorts and a lot more brightly colored T-shirts. For evening outings, a couple of outfits are enough. More often, after an active daytime rest, the evening promenade simply does not have enough strength.

Tips for women:

• do not collect a lot of cosmetics on the sea (gloss and caring lip balm, mascara, universal face and body cream, make-up remover);
• take with you personal hygiene products (pads, napkins);
• shampoo and balm familiar to your hair;
• tanning and after-sun products;
• swimwear;
• perfume in small bottles;
• manicure set;
• antiperspirant.

What men shouldn't forget:

• a razor, to which shaving products are also accustomed;
• swimming trousers;
• perfume and antiperspirant.

If you have a child with you

It is better to put your child's things in a separate small suitcase.

• if the child is small, select the medication according to age;
• clothes must be taken with a margin;
• a set of warm clothes and shoes;
• a towel and a small lightweight blanket;
• favorite toy, book, coloring book, pencils;
• sunscreen;
• waterproof sheet for the baby;
• panamas and caps;
• snack (cookies, chips, apples) and water.

Vacation essentials also include sunglasses, a small sewing kit, a pen knife, hairbrush, toothpaste and brush, quick-drying towel, wet wipes, and toilet paper. However, if these items do not fit in your suitcase, they can be purchased locally.

We put the suitcase correctly

1. We put shoes in bags on the bottom (you can put socks, underwear and small things inside).
2. We twist T-shirts and sweaters in dense rolls and put them in the bottom.
3. We put trousers, skirts and dresses in tight piles.
4. Small things in free space and in corners.

Put the list of things at the top so you know you haven't forgotten anything.

We leave bottles with liquids up to 100 ml in carry-on baggage in a transparent bag for checking on a scanner at the airport.

After all the things are collected, once again run your eyes through your list at sea. Careful preparations before your vacation will make your stay comfortable and comfortable.

Do not forget! On the way back, you will need to put in this suitcase more souvenirs bought for relatives and friends.

Do not fill your suitcase to overflowing, leave some free space.
