General Vacation Packing Checklist

When you are packing for a trip, there are certain items, which are required irrespective of the genders of the picnickers. Therefore, we will first see the items, which you can pack as combine items for you and your partner.
  • Charger for your phone as well as your partner's phone. If you can use the same chargers for both the phones, then carry just any one of the chargers, so that you do not have to take care of two.
  • Camera is one of the important items on the vacation packing list. You will have to ensure that the camera has the memory card, batteries, battery charger, etc. If you are going to carry a video camera, the same is applicable for it as well. Pack both the cameras in different bags. Just in case one of your luggage bags does not arrive on time, you will at least have one of the cameras with you. In case you are taking a vacation, which involves you spending a lot of time under water, then you will have to carry an underwater camera with you.
  • If you are traveling to a foreign country, then make sure you carry a dictionary, phrase book, maps in English, etc. along with you. These will be of help to you, if you are stuck and want to ask for directions.
