A Basic Packing List
April 26th, 2007
- Take vitamin C to boost the body’s immune system. The dry air in the aircraft dries out the mucus membranes in the nose, throat and even lungs creating cracks which allows germs to gain access into the body.
- All-In-One single fused adaptor that is usable in any country whether 2 or 3 pin or square or round ends.
- Anti-snoring pills or oral spray if you are sharing a room with a friend.
- A torchlight. You would never know when you will need it.
- Get ready little gifts or souvenirs such as bookmarks, postage stamp booklets, keychains, postcards or collar pins. They make good giveaways to new friends, tour directors, coach drivers, hotel staff or helpful people you meet along the way.
- Prepare a mini first aid kit well stocked with :
- smelling salts
- antiseptic cream
- aloe vera gel (for sunburn, cuts, etc.)
- plasters
- bandages
- a pair of scissors
- Paracetamol tablets (fever and pain)
- any other medication required. - Make photocopies of your passport, visa, air ticket, insurance, credit cards and place copies in a plastic ziplock bag to bring them with you on your trip. Leave some copies at home too.
- Extra rolls of film and camera batteries.
