Your Packing List - What You Need

It Will Be Different For Different Climates

A packing list will help when you're getting ready to pack for your trip. What you need to take with you will depend on your destination and travel style.

You'll need different things for a safari than you will for a cruise.

What you pack for Antarctica will be different than what you will take to Hawaii.

Are you going to a health spa? A dude ranch? On a diving trip? A driving trip abroad?

All of those things will affect how you pack. We have lists for those below... and all kinds of tips about packing and luggage.

We always start with our basic list, then fine tune it for our current destination.

It takes some planning to pack well... there are so many things to consider....

• today's security alerts...
  
• and baggage fees too.

If you're going to travel with carry-on luggage, you need to think about...

• What you can fit in that plastic bag?
  
• How do you pack your cosmetics?
  
• Your medications?

We love the Magellans Travel Supplies catalog for clothes that are easy to pack. And it's not just travel clothes. They've got all kids of supplies, luggage, purses and security items to make your travel easier.

These are all just guides. Use them to make your own list. Lists help you stay organized. You'll worry less that you might forget something important.

Even if you do forget something, just remember that you can probably get it almost anywhere in the world.

Happy travels... even if you don't travel the world... just remember that life is a journey... embrace and enjoy it!   Judy and Mark
