Essential Items to Pack when Travelling
Essential Items to Pack When Travelling
Packing is not one of my favourite things to do,
but unfortunately it's necessary.
Unless of course, you're absolutely, filthy rich and you can buy everything at the destination;
however, it wouldn't be Eco-friendly.
Anyways, I'm digressing here...

I have an essential items list that I have
when I travel.
when I travel.
It's always the same, whether I am travelling to a cold or hot, humid or dry climate.
The most important thing that always
comes first is comfort.
You always need to ask yourself, what will make me comfortable on my flight?

You always need to ask yourself, what will make me comfortable on my flight?
Here is what I always take:
two wallets
one real and the other one is a dummy for pick pockets
any important documents
a travel pillow
mine is made out of soft terry cloth and it doubles as a mini-blanket
a pashmina scarf
i have several to choose from, so I don't get bored with the colours,
i don't like using airline blankets so this serves as a substitute.
they're great. they keep you warm. they last a long time - the real ones anyways.

ReplyDeleteKisses sweetie and I am sending you an email in a few minutes:)
Have a great day!
I always seem to pack way too much than I need to. But, some of my absolute necessities are my ipod and a magazine!
ReplyDeleteI have a certain pair of travel pants, tennis shoes, and purse. Always a pillow (I don't always trust the places I sleep!), copies of companions passports, and a travel pack of wet wipes in case I need an impromptu bath and there is none to be found!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I never thought of the two wallet thing. Brilliant! I always bring a few pashminas too and depending on how long the flight my travel pillow. I never use the airline ones. And also for the plane magazines, ipod, water, moisturizer, lipgloss & gum. I need to have all of those within arms reach :)
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more.
ReplyDeletePashmina - check.
Ipod - check.
InStyle - check.
ziploc bags have been a life saver for so many reasons.
ReplyDeleteGreat post friend!!!

Thanks for the lovely comment on my blog :) We pack the same stuff -- I always have reading material with me to keep me entertained during the long waits & long flights. I also always bring food with me even if the airline serves free food...something to look forward to like a bar of chocolate or a favorite sweet :) Happy travels!
