You guys ready for some packing tips??
Here is what to put, what not to put in that carry-on, and why.
To pack:
- Extra pair of clothes + swimsuit(If you're going somewhere you'll have acess to pool and/or body of water to swim in)
Because, if your suitcase gets lost, it may take some time for the people at the airport to find it. Maybe even a day... so it is always a good idea to pack a second outfit, and a swimsuit. A great way to pass the time while you're waiting for your luggage is to swim off those worries!
- Book(Devotional, Novel, School, ect.)
This is just a good thing to pack because plane rides can sometimes get a little boring(Yes... even with 19 people!) and you're going to want something to do.
- MP3 player + headphones
Why not?Airplanes get get loud(especially if you happen to have 9 kids under ten just in your own group) so if you have a good pair of headphones that block out sound, you're set for however long that flight may be :)
- Notebook + pens/pencils
Airplane rides are a great time to get writing or schoolwork done. You're pretty much stuck in a chair, with nothing to do.
TIP!! Bring more than one pen and more than one pencil(Yes, bring both if you plan on doing some kind of writing, postcards, letters, school, ect.) because it is pretty much a garentee that you'll loose one while you're on your vacay.
- Wallet + Spending Money
Sometimes food and/or drink costs mula on your airplane, and again, if your suitcase gets lost, you don't want to loose something like this.
- Gum and/or protein bars
When airplanes take off and land, your ears will probably pop a little, maybe even while you're just in the air. Gum is a great trick to help stop that. And trust me, your ears popping is NOT fun, it is painful. Also, food on airplanes sometimes costs money, so protein bars are a healthy little snack that you can enjoy: free of cost :)
- Camera and/or camcorder
Especially if you're traveling in a group, you'll want at least one of these devices. I've learned over past vacays that you NEVER want to be without a camera. The funniest, most memorable things always seem to happen when that little device is out of reach.
TIP!! Bring extra batteries!!!! It is a huge pain in the neck when your camera all of the sudden has an attitude prob and shuts off on you!!
NOT to Pack:
- Sunglasses
These are almost always a must-bring, but you shouldn't put them in a bag unless they have a case so they won't break. Just, keep them on your head... it is the safest place. :)
- Liquids
If you are going to pack liquids, they need to be 3oz. or less in your carry-on. Also, they need to be put in a plastic bag. They are okay to pack, but if you can, leave them in your suitcase.
- Large objects
Items bigger than a notebook just take up space, and if your bag gets a random, or not random check, things may not get put back like you had it, and your items may not all fit. Leave your bigger items(shoes, curling irons, large cameras, ect.) in your suitcase.
Well, I think that is it... have a great vacay!
