Tips for how and what to pack before trip

How and what to pack. Some packing checklists..

1. Clothes - packing light & packing for the weather
  • Pack light, then throw in another days' clothes.
  • Tightly roll denims & socks rolled take less space and also make great 'padding' without getting crushed.
  • Grand Ma's advice - there's nothing better than a shawl to keep cosy, add one to your bag.
  • Given the rains everywhere this time, carry an umbrella/ rainwear. It's great to beat that rainy day that could otherwise mar your trip.
  • It's always good to be carrying a good torch. Add a knife and needle-thread, they are surprisingly useful.
2. Medicines
  • Ensure that you carry all prescription medicines that you take.
  • Take medicines for - headache, pain, fever, running nose, a loose tummy. Throw in some cough lozenges, an anti-septic cream, cotton and band-aid
3. Tickets and what to keep within easy reach.
  • Check and recheck on all tickets and booking vouchers. Keep them within easy reach to pull out as you need conveniently.
  • Keeping tissues and hand-wash within easy reach is also very handy.
4. Packing for kids
  • All medicines, wipes, creams and powder.
  • Their favourite toy and a good book.
  • A good hand sanitizer
  • Their Doctor's phone number.
