Travel Tuesday: What to Bring on Your __________ Vacation

Who has their suitcases? It’s Travel Tuesday, which means we’re going on vacation.

Everyone’s vacation is a little bit different. I mean, everyone has different ideas of what counts as a vacation. For my mom it’s about lying poolside and catching up on reading. For my dad it’s getting out into nature. For my brother it’s about playing video games. For me, I like to go somewhere I’ve never been and explore. See, vacation is different for everyone.

That’s why today’s Travel Tuesday is going to cover a variation of vacations, so no matter what you count as a holiday you’re well prepared for packing!

How to Be Prepared For Every Vacation Ever

Beach vacation

Sunscreen – Radical sunburn be gone!
Sunglasses – Squinting for a week is just going to give you wrinkles.
Reading material – You’re going to need something to read by the beach.
Swimsuit – What’s the fun of going to the beach if you’re not going to go in at least once?

Camping vacation

Tent – That part was obvious.
Clothes for all weather – Including, but not exclusively to, long sleeve shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, short sleeve shirts, shorts, and walking shoes.
Cooking materials – Do not go camping and think you’re going to eat fire roasted hot dogs. Bring dried food and food equipment to have variation.
Sleeping bag – Sleeping under the stars is only enjoyable when it’s in the comfort of a sleeping bag.

At home vacation

Entertainment – Doesn’t matter what it is, have lots of things that keep you occupied. Staying at home is only fun when you’re not bored.
Food – It is only okay to buy Twinkies in this situation.
Music – Have a Risky Business moment during your stay-at-home vacation by cranking up the tunes.
Friends on speed dial – You know what would make your vacation that much better? Friends!

Foreign travel vacation

Guidebook – Having a tiny book tell you the best places to go is the best way to get the most of the experience.
Currency – Money is kind of important, no?
Non-touristy outfits – There are a lot of places where being spotted as a tourist makes you an instant victim. Read up before on how to not look like a tourist to make your vacation that much better.
Adaption plugs – The entire world uses different electrical outlets. Make sure to pick up an adapter before you leave the country or have your hair dryer die on you day 1.
