Things-To-Pack-for-Vacation List

There is no shortage of articles out there offering tips on what to pack for vacation. In fact, an online search will bring up millions of results!

Here are a few out-of-the-ordinary items that I pack that hopefully go beyond the packing tips you can find everywhere else.

• Pillboxes for holding rings and earrings, stamps, paperclips, safety pins, even pills!
• Mesh laundry bags for hand-washing small items.
• A night-light.
• Extra-large plastic bags, like those from linen and bath stores, to use as laundry bags.
• Small plastic bags, like those from the grocery store, to put shoes in to separate them from clothing.

You probably have some of your own out-of-the-ordinary items that you’ll include on your packing list. Post the list where you and your family members can conveniently add to it as you move towards your departure date.

Before your trip, you’ll need to review your things-to-pack list and pare it down to absolute essentials.

Bon voyage!
