Visa and Health Regulation:
Visa requirements vary from time to time and should be checked with nearest tourist office of diplomatic mission. Health certificates are required but these vary with country of origin and should be checked with relevant authorities. Yellow fever and cholera vaccinations are recommended. Anti malaria medication should be started prior to arrival.

Photography:
Films and batteries are available at most lodges but in restricted stocks and sizes so it is suggested you bring your own supply. A 200 mm to 300 mm telephoto lens is recommended for game and bird photography.
Much of East Africa is generally warm, minimal humidity and cool evenings. Temperatures vary with altitude.

Clothing:
Cotton, linen dresses, light slacks and short sleeved shirts are recommended. Bring a warm sweater, as nights can be chilly at high altitudes. Comfortable walking shoes, swim suit, sun glasses, suntan lotion, flashlight and an alarm clock will complement your safari gear.

Hotel Check in/check out:
Check out time is usually 1000 hours. Hence check in cannot be guaranteed before 1100 hours unless room is reserved from night before. Day rooms up to 1800 hours are usually available.

Accommodation and Meals on Safari Lodges:
Rooms are singles, doubles, triples and suites. Lodge facilities include lounges/bars with log fires, dinning rooms and viewing platforms. Most lodges have outdoor swimming pools.

Tented camps:
These range from simple luxurious and provide spacious twin beds with mosquito netting, private bathrooms and verandas.

Meals:
On safari, meals are provided on full board basis. There is full English breakfast. Lunch is often buffet style set out with salads, cold and hot starters and hot main dishes. Dinner is 3-5 courses with a combination of dishes.

Getting around
BORDER POSTS:
The major crossing point between Kenya and Tanzania is at Namanga, which is open 24 hours a day. Other crossings include Lunga Lunga and Taveta. The Ethiopian border post of Moyale is becoming increasingly dangerous because of civil fighting. The border was closed for a while but has now reopened. For those with four-wheel drive vehicles, a more adventurous route to the west near Lake Turkana is quite popular. Ask the locals for advice before trying this route. There is no border post on either side of the border crossing so you’ll have to get your visa stamped in Nairobi. Malaba and Busimia are the main Ugandan border posts. At present there are no overland crossings with Somalia and Sudan as it is not safe to cross unless part of a refugee convoy.

RAIL & BUS:
Wildlife Safaris Rail is a safe, reliable form of public transport. Passenger services run from Mombasa to Malaba via Voi, Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret. It is essential to book tickets two to three days in advance. Kenya has a good network of buses, as well as matatus (minibuses) and share-taxis, but none are very safe as drivers tend to overload and speed, and horrific accidents are reported regularly. Where possible, rail travel should be the chosen means of transport. Private 18-seater buses offer shuttle services connecting Nairobi and Mombasa with Arusha and Moshi in Tanzania, which are more expensive, but more comfortable and safer.

AIRPORTS:
Domestic air services operate between the major airports:
Jomo Kenyatta International, Nairobi (NBO)
Moi International, Mombasa (MBA)
A number of airlines operate between Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Nanyuki, Malindi, Lamu and the national parks/reserves of Amboseli, Masai Mara and Samburu.

ROADS:
There are 63,800 km of highways in Kenya, 8,863 km of which are paved. Roads are generally in good condition, but have deteriorated and some stretches are very unsafe. The A104 running from Mombasa to Malaba via Nairobi is a heavy truck route. High speed and unpredictable local driving habits are daily hazards on Kenyan roads. Roads in the north and north-east are predominantly dirt roads and in the rainy season are only navigable by four-wheel drive vehicles. Your national driving license is accepted, with an English translation if necessary. Driving is on the left side of the road. As fuel shortages can occur, it is best to fill your tanks before leaving a major town.

Passports and Visas:
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
All visitors are required to carry a passport that is valid for six months beyond the intended length of stay. There should be sufficient blank pages for entry stamps upon arrival.
Nationals of some countries may obtain visas upon arrival. Check with the Kenyan Consulate beforehand. Those wishing to enter Kenya on business or for longer than 30 days, should obtain a visa from their nearest Kenyan Consulate.

Requirements for this are:
» visa application form,
» business letter (for business visa),
» one passport photograph,
» proof of sufficient funds and onward travel / return ticket.

Visas cost  US$50 and are valid for three months.

General Accommodation Info:
Most safari lodges vary in size and style, and are built to blend in with the local environment. Accommodation tends to be of rondavel or banda type, with a lounge, central dining and bar in single unit hotels. Do not be misled by the term “tented accommodation” – this tends to be luxurious insect-proof tents and are usually permanently pitched on concrete bases, often including en suite bathrooms with flush toilets. These are very popular and give the visitor the true experience of being close to nature without the inconvenience and discomfort that can be associated with camping in the open. In the towns, cheaper hotels are definitely avoidable. Prices for higher range hotels vary according to season. Note that although prices may be quoted in US$, payment in local currency is the accepted norm. Campsites in national parks and game reserves tend to be very basic, with running water, but only pit toilets. It is strongly recommended that you reserve all your accommodation as far in advance as possible as availability is often at a premium, especially in peak season.

BUDGET CAMPING:
Budget camping is the ideal way for those who like to “rough it”. The tents are spacious enough for two people and they have a mesh on each window to keep off insects.
All preparations at the camp are made on arrival at the campsite. Guests are often expected to help pitch the tents, but the cooking and cleaning is all left to the camping crew. We recommend visitors to bring their own sleeping bags. Public campsites provide basic washroom facilities of reasonable hygienic standard for budget camping safaris.At some Parks we use semi permanent campsites which offers an upgrade camping style with facilities like showers(hot showers on request) and Flash Toilets.

GAME DRIVES/GAME VIEWING:
The game drive/ game viewing is the standard mode of wildlife viewing in the African national parks, concession, where both regulations and safety considerations restrict exploration on foot. Conditions are ideal for vehicular safaris; rising savanna fame country from the security and comfort of a car, you will encounter a large number and variety of animals imply by chance. Game drives in most of the parks are always invigorating: you may go from one species to the next –observing zebra here, giraffe there, a knot of impala on the right, a trio of elephant bulls ahead. However, there is really no guarantee on what you will see; the animals are free to move around as they please and may even pass beyond park boundaries.

DRIVER GUIDES:
Each safari group will be accompanied by the best driver-guides with expert knowledge in wildlife and other areas of tourist interest. The driver-guides are continually under training on subjects as varied as the maintenance of safari vehicles, client’s safety, the mating habits of various species, preservation and conservation, general knowledge and foreign languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese

Kenya – Health:
Requirements:
Everyone entering Kenya must be in possession of a valid International Certificate of Vaccination against yellow fever. It is imperative that you obtain malaria prophylactics before entering Kenya. When purchasing these, please tell your doctor or pharmacist that you intend visiting Kenya. It is important to note that the Kenyan authorities have banned the use of chloroquine combinations as prophylaxis, and instead recommend the use of either mefloquine (Lariam/Mefliam) or doxycycline. Start your course at least one week before entering Kenya and continue taking the pills for six weeks after leaving the country. If you suffer from side effects, try taking your malaria prophylactics at night, after dinner. Precautionary measures that you can take to prevent contact with mosquitoes are: sleeping under a bed net or in room/tent with mosquito proofing (remember to keep the flaps zipped at all times), spraying your accommodation with insecticide, making use of a mosquito repelling lotion or stick and wearing long sleeve clothes, trousers and socks when outside at night. Immunization against typhoid, tetanus, tuberculosis, polio, & meningococcal meningitis are recommended.

Medical Services:
Medical services in Kenya are good in urban areas and in the vicinity of game parks and beaches, but are limited elsewhere. Doctors and hospitals often require immediate cash payment, but usually accept major credit cards. It is advisable to secure medical cover on your medical insurance before arriving in the country. Note that major hotels have contracts with physicians and dentists. Visitors are however advised to bring along supplies of specialized medication they may require. Otherwise, medicine may be purchased at pharmacies and emergency pharmacies are open all night.

Safety :
Adventure Safaris Travel in Kenya is generally entirely safe, however, there are the occasional regional ethnic skirmishes. You are advised to remain informed as to the situation in areas to which you plan to travel, particularly remote parts and borders. Ugandan, Somalian and Sudanese shifta (bandits) rove their borders with Kenya. Violent cross-border attacks and cattle raids occur, so it is best to avoid the border regions. Border crossings into Somalia and Sudan are strongly discouraged. Petty crime and theft occurs in some of the urban areas, so be vigilant and keep valuables concealed. Security within the parks is quite good, but never leave possessions unattended. It is always better to travel in a large group.
Water:
While water in major towns is chlorinated and relatively safe to drink, there are frequent breakdowns and this can lead to mild to serious abdominal upsets for first time African travelers. Rather stick to sealed bottled water, which is available from most hotels and lodges, and which is highly advised for the first few weeks of your stay. Do not use ice cubes or eat rare meat, raw seafood or dairy products. Avoid roadside stands and street vendors and only eat well-cooked foods while they are still hot and fruits that can be peeled without contamination.
Seasons and Climate:
SUMMER: December – March
WINTER: July – OCTOBER

Kenya is divided by the equator and enjoys a tropical climate. It is hot and humid at the coast, temperate inland and very dry in the north and north-eastern parts of the country. The hottest time is in February and March and the coldest in July and August.

The average annual temperatures in the main areas are:
Mombasa (coastal):
Max 30ºC, Min 22ºC
Nairobi: Max 25ºC, Min 13ºC
North Plain lands: Max 34ºC, Min 23ºC

The long rains occur from April to June and short rains from October to December. Rainfall is sometimes heavy and tends to fall in the afternoon and evenings.

WHAT TO PACK:
Generally, casual comfortable clothing is suitable throughout the year. The most practical items to pack for safari are:

» Khaki, green, beige and neutral colors
» Blouses and shirts with long sleeves (even in summer, they will protect you from the sun and from mosquitoes)
» T shirts
» Shorts or a light skirt
» Jeans or safari trousers for evenings and cooler days
» Some hotels and country clubs require gentlemen to wear a jacket and tie and women to be suitably attired for dinner

» A jacket and sweater are recommended for early morning and evening game drives
» Swimwear and beach apparel
» Comfortable walking shoes
» Sun block, sunglasses, hat, insect repellent, moisturizer and lip salve are all essentials

Good quality, locally made clothing and shoes for safaris are available in Nairobi and Mombasa shops at reasonable prices. If you are traveling with an organized safari, it is important to check what your weight limit is. Generally you will need to restrict your luggage to 10-12 kg (packed in a soft bag) plus a reasonable amount of camera equipment.

When to go:
Kenya is a year round destination with excellent game viewing. One of Kenya’s greatest attractions is the annual wildebeest migration between Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya. This takes place between June and September. Traditional peak season is January to March as this is when the weather is hot and dry and most comfortable for traveling. This is a good time for bird viewing on the Rift Valley lakes. Game viewing at perennial water holes is also good at this time. April – June are less popular times for visiting Kenya as these are the rainy seasons and flooding often occurs. However, it is usually possible to get around easily during these times and the rains do not hinder visibility.

Currency:
The unit of currency is the Kenya Shilling (KSh), which is divided into 100 cents. Notes are in KSh1000, 500, 200, 100, 50, 20 and 10. Coins are KSH40, 20, 10, 5 and 1 KSH

Basic Costs
EXCHANGE RATE:
The exchange rate is in your favor. Generally, you will find that fine cuisine, wine and entertainment cost a fraction of the tariff charged by equivalent establishments elsewhere in the world. The price of a beer starts at KSh85. A traditional meal will cost about KSh150, while you can expect to pay about KSh500-1000 for a more classy meal. Petrol costs about KSh 105 per liter..

Banking hours: Mon – Fri 09:00 – 16:00
First Sat of each month 09:00 – 11:00

National and international banks have branches in Mombasa, Nairobi, Kisumu, Thika, Eldoret, Kericho and Nyeri and in most other major towns. Banks in Mombasa and the coastal areas open and close half an hour earlier. Banks and bureau de change at international airports are open 24 hours a day

CREDIT CARDS:
All major credit cards (MasterCard, Visa, Diners Club and American Express) are widely accepted.

TIPPING:
Bear in mind that salaries in East Africa tend to be very low, and that people working in service industries rely on tips to supplement their wages. On safari you should tip your driver, cook and guide. These people do not earn very much so you should tip as much as you feel you can, but of course this depends on you and how happy you were with your service.
As in most African countries, there is a huge range of cheap souvenirs to be purchased along the roadside. These are handmade, but mass produced so always check the quality before buying. Materials include ebony, soapstone and ivory. Note that it is illegal to export products that contain any elements of elephant, rhino or sea turtle. Tribal souvenirs are available, including Maasai beaded jewellery, kiondos (woven sisal baskets) and natural or decorated calabashes (dried gourds). Bright sarongs (kangas or kikois) make good wearable souvenirs. If you are after quality artwork, it is probably wisest to look in galleries and shops that deal in it, rather than buying on the black market.

Packing Essentials for an Eurail Vacation

]]>

Eurail can be one of the most rewarding ways to travel. Sightseers can enjoy the countryside as if on a drive, but without the responsibilities of using and maintaining a vehicle. Navigation is also avoided by traveling on Eurail. With the amount of free time vacationers have on a train, it can be easy to pack too many travel items. Packing only what you need can provide the freedom to move around securely and easily, and also leaves room to bring home items from some favorite destinations.

Among the most important items to bring will be proper documentation. It goes without saying that keeping track of your Eurail pass is a necessity. It is possible to obtain a pass protection cover to help keep track of all of your information. Another necessity is one’s passport. Frequent movement over national borders requires proper documents.

There are other packing essentials to remember as well. Insurance information, of both the travel and health varieties is also important. If one wishes to travel by car it is necessary to have an international driver’s license. Another factor to keep in mind is visas. In many cases, a visa is required for documentation and identification while traveling on Eurail.

There are other forms of documentation that are less important, but are still good to bring nonetheless. Eurail offers traveler’s guides that can provide a great deal of the basic information that will be productive for travelers to posses. There are other useful travel guides that can simplify vacationing in Europe for any individual or family. It is also beneficial to have a timetable for the Eurail system in order to have first-hand knowledge of what to expect out on the rails. Two other helpful items to keep nearby are a map of Europe and guides at least for the major languages that you will be hearing along the way.

As far as hygiene and medical necessities go, packing for a Eurail trip is similar to any other trip away from home. Prescriptions must of course be taken along as well as any other items needed for comfort. Spare glasses and contact lenses should be packed in the event of an accident. It is also important to keep documentation of your medical needs among your luggage. A first aid kit is also recommended. When it comes to toiletries, the basics become necessary. A personal wash kit with toothbrush and toothpaste should be packed along with a shaving kit and any other personal hygiene items that are normally required.

When packing only the essentials for a Eurail vacation, the necessary clothing for your trip will really depend entirely on your destination. Being on the train does not lead to any specific requirements when it comes to attire. However, there is a possibility that the train cab could cool as a result of temperature control, and a sweater or light jacket may provide comfort. It is also beneficial to be prepared for a wide range of temperatures from the movement of the train through various altitudes and landscapes. You also should be prepared for rainy conditions even though you will be inside the train most of the time. At stops you are likely going to want to be outside, and if it is raining you will be benefit from packing some warm clothes.

Besides these packing essentials there are other miscellaneous items to bring along. Many of these will add to your pleasure on the train. Mp3 players, books, magazines, cards, a pen, addresses of anybody you may wish to send letters or postcards to, bottle openers and other useful tools can help out on the train as well. It is also important to remember a European adapter as the standard EU outlet is structured differently then American ones. There will be a lot of time to sit and relax on the train. This can be rewarding because it allows you to take in the sights at a low-stress pace. Having these items can enhance that time, and make your Eurail vacation memorable.

Other important items that can be easily overlooked are sunglasses and umbrellas. Being prepared for a wide range of weather conditions is still important even though Eurail travelers are mostly indoors. It is also recommended to bring a camera and cell phone.

Overall the packing necessities for Eurail are straightforward. It is important to remember that you could be on a train for hours at a time. Packing properly is one of the first steps in enjoying your vacation on Eurail. The ability to make those hours enjoyable is in your hands, so pack accordingly.

Travel can be many things. It can be an obligatory visit to your relative’s home for the holidays. It can be a quick one-night getaway to the city to see a show and do some shopping. Or, it can be a week-long toes-in-the-sand vacation where you escape from everything just for a little bit. Whether you’re packing the car or boarding the plane, travel planning requires some dotting of i’s and crossing of t’s. You’ll never be able to control the long line at airport security, but if you follow some general guidelines, you will be able to get organzied and shape your next trip.

Ten Tips for Trouble-Free Travel

1. Set a Budget.

Sit down ahead of time and determine what fits with your budget. Nothing spoils a great trip more than flying blind and then getting the bill (and that sinking stomach feeling). Knowing your budget helps keep you in line while dining out and hitting up the gift shop.

2. Map it Out.

If you’re just planning a visit to parents or relatives, then you won’t need as much planning, but figure out everything you need ahead of time and then make the reservations accordingly. Flying? How will you get to and from the airports – both at home and at your destination? Travel planning goes far beyond picking a hotel. Make a master list of all of your needs to get organized.

3. Delegate.

Figure out what can be delegated, whether it’s making dinner reservations or packing suitcases, and then do it. All the planning and organization should not fall on one person’s shoulders. If you have children, rest assured that kids can help pack, too. Just give them a list and let them check off the items. Make sure you take a glance, just to be sure your four-year-old hasn’t packed just pajama bottoms and no tops.

4. Live the Trip Before you Get There.

Sketch out the trip in your mind. What do you want to do while you’re there? What can’t be missed? This will help you figure out what needs to be booked ahead of time and it will also help you when it comes to packing.

5. Charge Everything.

Nothing is worse than seeing a blinking no battery light just when you found the perfect photo op. Charge your electronics before the trip and then bring all of the accompanying cords and devices in a large Ziploc bag so you won’t be caught midway through the trip with no power.

6. Document Folder.

Get a large folder or envelope where you will store all of your travel-related documents, from passports to reservation confirmations. You don’t want to have to rifle through your purse with a security agent glaring at you, so having it all together in one spot can be a lifesaver.

7. Medicine.

If you take prescription medicines, pack them in their original bottles from the pharmacy. While it rarely happens, it’s comforting to know that you have all of the information right there. Also, while you don’t need to bring the contents of your medicine cabinet, it does help to have a small just-in-case supply of medicines (Imodium, Tylenol, etc).

8. Pack with the 80/20 Rule in Mind.

It’s tempting to want to pack every favorite pair of shoes and every one of the favorite outfits in your closet, but remember that you can’t bring it all, especially with today’s ever-growing charges for baggage. Typically you wear the same basics (khakis, shorts, walking shoes) every day. Force yourself to pare down by trying to create as many different outfits from two basic pants/shorts/skirts and two or three different shirts.

9. Happy Kids = Happy Parents.

If you have children and you’re bringing them along, don’t let them bring every stuffed animal. That said, it is important to bring a stash of toys, games, or books that will keep them busy and entertained while traveling. Bring a small coloring book and crayons for the plane or a portable DVD with never-before-seen movies and you’ll keep them calm and relaxed.

10. Pack for the Kids.

We don’t mean that cute sailor dress for your toddler, either. We’re talking car seats, strollers, and other gear. Just focus on the essentials, but you’ll need to know whether you’re bringing the car seat or renting one from the car rental agency.

9 Important Wedding Destination Travel Tips

Edit Article |

Posted: Sep 17, 2010 |

]]>

Planning a destination wedding can be tricky.  Consider these helpful hints to make your special day… perfect!  For a complete checklist visit us at Your Destination Wedding Guide today!

1.  Making a List
The specifics of a destination wedding are frequently overwhelming.  Start a list several weeks prior to leaving of all the things that you will need.  Beginning the list ahead of time will give you ample time to remember anything you may have forgotten.  Then just simply gather everything and pack.

2.  Wedding Planners and Travel Agents
Choosing to use a travel professional or a wedding event coordinator is often very helpful.  These individuals can frequently book blocks of rooms for your wedding party and guests at hotels or resorts.  Send family members and/or friends directly to these experts to make their individual travel arrangements.  This will eliminate you from having to keep track of all the specifics.  Doing so can relieve a lot of stress from your destination wedding travel.

For a complete checklist visit us at Your Destination Wedding Guide today!

3.  Assign Tasks
Delegating to others will help you be able to relax and enjoy your destination wedding.  Select trusted family or friends to take over some tasks such as packing certain things, shipping things in advance, planning a welcome or rehearsal party and even getting the last minute things you need.

4.  Pack Minimally
Check with your hotel or resort about items that will likely be available to you throughout your stay.  Be conscious of the little things that you’ll probably not need.  The less you bring the less you will have to carry around and worry about.   Pack outfits that can be mixed and matched and instead pack smaller accessories to change things up.  Most hotels offer laundry services if your stay is going to be longer.

5.  Be Healthy
Help your body fight off any foreign bugs by giving it the tools it needs.  Keeping hydrated, eating well and getting enough sleep can be the most effective way to help your body stay healthy when you travel.  Bring necessities such as extra vitamins or your favorite tea, stay away from tap water when in other countries and wash hands on a regular basis.

For a complete checklist visit us at Your Destination Wedding Guide today!

6.  Take All Contact Information
Reduce the possibility and added stress of not being able to get in touch with the people you need.When traveling for your big day, always bring a written form of contact information for all of your main people.  Mobile phones may not function out of your home country and finding an internet cafe to look things up can be a hassle.

7.  Island Time
If you are visiting to another nation or island it could seem that in the new culture time greatly slows down.  It is crucial to remember that relationships are normally first priority and time commitments could possibly be a bit more flexible than you are used to.  Take it easy and be patient.  Prepare to slow down and be patient with those around you.  However, if you have an urgent matter, share your issue with the right people in a calm way.  Be polite and you may find that you will get the results you are looking for much faster.  The hotel staff really are on your side and they do want to serve you.

8.  Get There Early
Make sure to show up a few days before your destination wedding to ensure that all the details are in place.  It is always a very good idea to allow time to enjoy the moments you have planned and the people who are there to share it with you.  This extra time will also be beneficial in adjusting to any change in time zones, settling in and bringing peace to any nerves you might have.

9.  Put Your Feet Up and Rest
Don’t forget that you are the bride!  Take time to refresh and appreciate everything and everyone with you.  It is easy to become extremely busy as your special day approaches and even more so when destination wedding travel is involved.  Your guests will understand if you need a bit of alone time.  Go for a walk, take a soothing bath or get up early before the day begins and watch the sunrise.

Tips For Packing For Your Vacation – Part 2

6. Pack in Plastic

Pack everything in clear plastic bags (preferably zip lock), divided into items e.g. underwear, t-shirts, shorts etc. before packing in your suitcase or backpack. One plastic bag for each type of clothing. This is extremely useful in various ways. When you unpack your bag you just take out a series of bags and you can see immediately what you want. So an overnight stay somewhere just means taking 1 item out of a bag – no rummaging!! In addition, if you have to unpack at customs etc, instead of having to disgorge all your clothing etc out in front of everybody, you can calmly take maybe 5/6 bags out, the contents of which can be clearly seen by the officials. To repack then is also dead easy. Just be sure not to leave your plastic bags lying around if you are travelling in nature! (Tip from a member)

7. Clothes

Pack only what you know you will use and if you are travelling for more than three weeks, plan to wash on the road. You can cut back on the number of clothes items by packing multi-purpose clothing, for example items that can both be worn during the day and as sleepwear.

8. Split up clothes when travelling with others

When you are flying somewhere and especially if you have a few stopovers, divide the clothes between different suitcases/backpacks/bags etc. If one persons luggage doesn’t arrive at the destination, they’ll still have clean clothes available. Airlines generally don’t compensate lost luggage for the first 24-48 hours so this will save you money if it happens to you. (Tip from a member)

9. Separate Beach Bag

When packing to head to the beach consider pre-packing whatever you might need at the beach into a beachbag inside your backpack or suitcase. Especially if travelling with kids, this will prove a timesaver!

10. Suitcase lovers

For those using suitcases without a divider. A piece of cardboard makes an excellent divider and helps keep your clothes organized and neat as you are able to lay them out flat on the cardboard. It also makes airport inspections a lot less of a hassle as you can lift out your divider with clothes on top easily.

Vacation Packing List – Saves You Valuable Time When Packing For A Trip

Edit Article |

Posted: Mar 18, 2011 |Comments: 0
|

]]>

Using a vacation packing list when packing for a trip can save you some valuable time. They reduce the risk of forgetting any “must” have items, as well as remind us of items that might be good to bring along on our holiday.

Packing lists are for guidance only, if something is not on your list… you should still take it if you need it, or if you just want to bring it along. Just make sure you do not exceed your airline luggage allowance, as it can be costly.

Vacation Packing List Essentials – What Do You Really Need When Packing For A Trip?

You will need your travel documents and travel money. It is important to keep your travel documents well organized and in as safe place as possible while travelling. There are many good travel organizers available where you can store your travel documents while en-route. That is all documents except the copies of your travel documents; they should be kept separately at all times.

You will need appropriate clothes and accessories. You must decide how many outfits to pack, i.e. for how many days should your clothes last without doing any washing. You are unlikely to want to be doing any washing on shorter journeys but on longer journeys, washing will be unavoidable.

Most people are able to pack enough clothes for 10-14 days without having to do any washing, or exceeding their luggage allowance. Some people however pack lighter than others do. Those tend to pack specialized travel clothes, as they are light, “wrinkle free” and dry quickly.

Now-a-days most people travel with some electronics and gadgets, i.e. digital cameras, cell phones, iPods, etc. You should consider carefully which gadgets to bring and which to leave behind. Many travel gear and gadgets are expensive and popular targets by thieves.

Always make sure your insurance covers adequately those gadgets you decide to take on your trip. You must also make sure you pack your gadgets in safe manner to prevent any damage to them while travelling.

Which toiletries and health related products people take with them on their travels is very personal. However, when packing toiletries it makes sense to minimize toiletries as much as you can. Just pack what you will need during your trip. You might even consider buying some toiletries at your travel destination, especially if you are flying with carry-on luggage only (so you do not have to worry about the strict liquid rules at airports).

Which other possible travel necessities to bring is also quite personal choice and often limited by the space you have left in your luggage. Top Travel Tip vacation packing list template contains detailed list of items you might want to consider when packing for a trip… or not.

Keep Important Items Together with Travel Organizers

Edit Article |

Posted: Jun 19, 2009 |Comments: 0

]]>

While traveling, one of the hardest things to do is make sure that all of your personal items stay together.  Between the massive shuffling of objects going through security on flights, the constant use of items in the car over a long trip, and the small space allotted for items in all means of travel, it is easy to misplace your things during travel.  There are a few easy tactics to follow to keep everything together, while still having easy access to it all.

The first way to keep everything well organized during travel is to try to not over-pack.  It is very easy to fill our suitcases and carry-on’s as much as we can often using substantial amounts of time trying to get the bag shut.  This strategy is setting you up for unnecessary stress.  Keep in mind that if it is already difficult to fit everything into your luggage at the beginning of your trip, it will be even harder to pack on the way home, after you have purchased souvenirs!

Furthermore, when you have to suddenly find your wallet, cell phone, identification, sweatshirt or any other miscellaneous item, you could be stuck shuffling through your bags with time you do not have.  Leave extra space in your luggage so that you have the freedom to get at the things you need when necessary.  This will make it easier to keep all of your items together, and help you avoid the hassle of constantly having to unpack and repack every time you need something.

The second tip to help ensure organized travel is to pack according to the nature of your needs.  While this may sound obvious, it is far too often overlooked.  If you find yourself in a situation where you need to switch essential items (such as your wallet or passport) from one bag to another, it is a great idea to invest in a bag or purse organizer.  This helpful product takes all of the essential items from your purse, and stores them in a very organized pouch that easy to transfer from bag to bag.  This item is great for saving time when you want or need to switch bags. It is very easy to remove the organizer and move it into a different bag.

If you know that you need to pack jewelry for your trip, it is a good idea to purchase a luggage item that is designed specifically for jewelry.  A travel jewelry pouch can hold almost all of your jewelry, including eyeglasses, neatly and safely.  If you need to pack paperwork with you during travel and wish to avoid your papers getting ripped or crumpled, skinny travel wallets are a great item to invest in. They often have accordion folds and allow you to easily store all important documents without risk of damage.  This type of storage can be used for any important paperwork and can help to keep those documents within easy reach if you need to get to them.  It is a great idea to plan ahead as to the types of luggage that you may need to make your travel easy and efficient.

If your trip requires flying, then it is a good idea to be prepared for security restrictions.  Often times if you are hurrying through security, your items can end up all over the place and unorganized. It is important to know that when flying, all liquids need to be in small, clear plastic containers and packaged in a clear, quart sized plastic bag. It is a good idea to purchase a quart bag toiletry kit ahead of time to save yourself any hassle at the airport.  These kits usually contain small plastic bottles for your liquids as well as a quart sized plastic bag, and sometimes a nicer, luggage-type bag to put the whole collection into.  While you might still need to take your toiletries out of the luggage bag to get through security, the hassle is now minimal due to these kits.

Another travel tip is to try to avoid complicated ways of packing items that are not meant for travel.  If you need to pack a pillow so you can sleep, then do not try to fold up a regular pillow and stuff it amongst everything else.  There are pillows designed for traveling that are meant to be folded up to a reasonable size.  Small, travel size pillows are also available for this situation.  There are countless examples of products like these that will make your packing successful.  It is recommended to use as many products designed to help with travel as you can to make a smooth transition.

Overall, keeping things together for travel does not have to be a hard task.  It is easy to be overwhelmed by the amount of things you have packed, and it is easy to let things get away from you.  However, with proper packing, the right types of luggage, and efficient use of items designed specifically for travel, keeping everything together can be a breeze and can give you more time to enjoy your trip.

Luggage – How and What to Pack?

Edit Article |

Everyone knows traveling can be a great learning experience which can broaden ones horizons and at the same time can be quite entertaining too. Planning is an integral part of any and trip should be so planned that you can enjoy each and every part of your trip. Managing your luggage during the trip is also a very important aspect which has to be planned when on a trip. The possibility of losing your luggage during your trip is always there, other than that there are chances that your luggage can be broken into, be broken, or stolen. To avoid all these possibilities there are some precautionary tips that should be taken when traveling.

The first step is the quality of the luggage that you have to carry. Your luggage should be sturdy and durable. Everyone wants to travel light, but it does not mean that the luggage should also be very light. The luggage should withstand moving from one place to another in parts of journey and the handlers always do not handle your luggage with care. Another important aspect is packing. You should never over pack. There are quite a few chances that if you over pack the zipper of the bag will not be able to stand it or probably the seam will break down. However a protective belt around the bag will protect the bag. Folding the clothes properly and packing accessories properly in layers allow more items to be packed and also makes it easier to take out things.

The next step is to mark your luggage properly. Label your suitcases or bags so that it is easily made out. Always mark your initials not your full name so that if you are a woman traveling alone not everyone should know your name. The address on the label should have post office code so as no one is able to follow you to your address. A great tip is to tie some sort of colored ribbon on the luggage. It will make your bags easily identifiable where there are chances of having similar bags. Weight consideration should be taken while packing your bag so that it is not it is not overweight. Make sure the weight allowances that apply to you in your particular airlines. There are services that will pick up and deliver your baggage to your destination, make use of them.

Identification papers should not be kept in your baggage as if your baggage is lost then you will also be in danger of identification theft. Check your TSA guidelines before packing the bag so that TSA screening goes without hurdle. The carry on bag is very handy and can be easily managed. The items you will need en route should be kept in that. Items like medicines, entertainment items like books etc., bus ticket and other item needed during the journey should be kept in this bag. Your toothbrush and soap or wipes are must for this bag. In the end don’t forget to label this bag too so that is not mixed up with any person having same bag.

Packing for any trip need not become a challenging ordeal. Have a check-list of things you would require for a trip and pack accordingly. With a little foresight and organization, all the items you need can be packed without having too many things to carry. Pack carefully and enjoy your trip!

Issues Ought to Know When Traveling Via Airplane

Are you organizing a trip that needs air travel? If your, you might would like to spend some time to familiarize yourself with a couple of helpful tips. A lot of these suggestions are outlined below for you and, when properly implemented, they may be in a position to save you both time and cash.

Before leaving for the airport, as well as before packing your bags, be certain to familiarize yourself with airport security rules and restrictions. In the event you keep a careful eye on the news, you may already know the majority of the rules, but you may still would like to go to the online web site for the TSA before leaving. This will results in you making it through airport security a great deal quicker. Also, when you pack your bags founded on existing rules, you are far less likely to need to dispose of any prohibited items, which can price you money.

When packing your bags, be certain to pack with care. This is extremely essential with your checked baggage. If you will have liquids inside your checked bags, like shampoo or lotion, be sure to wrap them in a plastic grocery bag. This will be a lifesaver if anything spills or breaks open. If packing items these items in a carry-on bag, guarantee that you’re following all rules. For example, only little travel sizes are allowed and you are needed to keep them separated in a plastic ziplock bag.

In keeping with packing your bags, be sure to keep anything of great value or significance inside your carry-on bag. Laptops, digital cameras, and camcorders ought to not enter checked luggage, as the chances of harm are fairly high. You never want to be separated from something that’s valuable. Be certain to maintain your carry-on bag with you at all times, on no account leave your bag unattended at the airport.

Speaking of the airport, be sure to arrive early for your flight. Usually speaking, you are asked to arrive around an hour and half to two hours before your flight is set to depart; nevertheless, you may wish to do just a small amount bit of research first. Most airports will outline on their internet sites how early you should arrive. Those larger in size may suggest arriving two hours or more early. It by no means hurts to be early for your flight, even to soon. Usually take into consideration that you on no account know with wait times, particularly where airport security is involved. Usually arrive earlier than regular on weekends or holidays, as they’re usually busy travel times.

Buy all snacks that you might want or have to eat early, not at the airport. As for drinks, you will want to buy them at the airport though. Unless a drink is for a youngster, the chances are it will not make it past airport security checkpoints, but dry snacks will. Buying dry snacks and candy ahead of time can stop you from having to pay outrageous prices at the airport. If your flight leaves throughout breakfast, lunch, or dinner time, attempt to eat a full meal prior to you get to the airport, as this can also save you a substantial quantity of cash.

When purchasing your airport tickets, be certain to give yourself sufficient time at layovers. Usually speaking, fifteen to twenty minutes or less isn’t a great concept. Most flights can average a ten minute delay. Yes, if you miss a connecting flight, you will be provided with other arrangements, but these option arrangements can through a wrench within the rest of your travel plans.

In the event you will probably be traveling with young children, you will want to reach the airport even sooner than this. This will present you with the chance to teach your child about the airport security screening procedure or even view others go through, so that your youngster will not be scared. For kids just learning how you can walk, strollers are an excellent idea, as they allow you to rapidly move around airports, particularly during short layovers.
