Savvy Travelers Start With an Organized Packing List

Summer vacation season is nearing an end, but there's still fullness of time left for relaxing fun in the sun. We all look send to the fun and freedom of vacations, but sometimes the planning, packing and prepping leave you more stressed-out than if you had just stayed home.

A relaxing getaway all the time starts with organized planning. Here I provide an comprehensive packing list that you can use to compose your own. Use this packing checklist as you fetch clothing, toiletries, carry-on  necessities, and more for your next trip.

It may be helpful to make photocopies of this list before you start, or find a ready-made packing list notepad. I keep my packing lists in my luggage so when I get my luggage out of the closet and open the bag, it's right there when I need it - I don't have to go searching.

Consider having a ready-packed bag for basic toiletries that you use every time you travel, like razor, band-aids, travel-sized soap, shampoo, toothpaste, tissue, clothes-line, etc. Having these items pre-packed and stored with your luggage means less packing and risk of forgetting something.

Other minuscule Necessities to Consider

After you've returned home from your trip, unpack and put everything away as soon as possible. Also recapitulate your packing list and cross off any items that you found you didn't truly need to bring and add anyone you forgot.
