Travel Check List

Packing for any vacation requires considerable thought since decisions will undoubtedly be influenced by the vacation's length, itinerary, type and your personal lifestyles.

The following is only intended to provide a suggested checklist so you don't forget items of importance.  It should be supplemented by whatever other needs you may have.  Forgotten items can often be purchased enroute, however, in a foreign country you may not be able to read labels and familiar brands and quality may not be available.  It is better to plan all your needs in advanceof your trip.

Strong recommendation - Before starting your trip make photo copies of all vital documents such as:  Credit cards; Visas; Passport pages; Tickets; Personal identification such as Driver's Licenses; Tour Itinerary; Prescriptions; etc.  Leave these with a relative or responsible person for reference if needed.  As well, make a copy of the following, completed list for possible insurance purposes in case of loss.
