Find A Travel List For Easier Vacation Packing

Those of you who, like me, have trouble packing for trips I have a great website for you to visit.  I never know what to pack, always afraid I'll leave something behind that I desperately need. This site has you covered.

My last trip I went to Big Bend National Park over spring break.  I had never been "camping" before.  I wasn't sure what to pack, what I needed to take or what I should leave behind.  This site is called vacation-lists.com helped me keep my packing stream lined.

No matter if you are taking a road-trip, going camping, to the beach, on a cruise, RV-ing, or sailing they have a check-list for you. They also have a book suggestion list, tips & tidbits, packing light, double duty packing, even a great resources list.  The resources list covers things such as weather, health warnings, currency exchange and more.

So this time I'm going to the beach so I checked the site again to see what I might be missing in my packing.  They have a list of electronics, medical, documents, miscellaneous, his/hers lists too.  It gives you something to go by, things you might not think about otherwise.  For example, I never think about taking my travel sewing kit even though that's what it's for.  I can't tell you how many times I've had a loose button or need a safety pin for something.
