Travel packing lists can generally be chaotic and disorientating. It doesn't have to be so.

The sub-categories linked to this page cover the different areas of a planning. The areas are sub-categorised because the style of preparation will be different.

TIPS

When packing for travel always adhere to the 50/50 rule.

i.e. Take out all the items you want to take with you on vacation and place them in an area ready to pack. Now choose 50% of these items to take with you. The remaining 50% can be packed back into your cupboards.

TIP 2
