If you're one of the people above then you know that life's little lessons are tried and true - buy a travel checklist. This will help you to ensure that your essential travelling documents like passport, flight tickets and itinerary are with you as well as your tanning cream and bathing suit.
Finding the right packing style for your trip is actually kind of fun. Even if you don't know where you're going yet or about how much you want to pack with you, take the time to shopg and compare. You can compare the measurements and weight of suitcases, flight bags, carry on luggage, garment bags, and hand bags online or in the retailers near you. Try to look for accessories that are light but of durable quality. Lots of sales assistants try to sell you the colors you're looking for and don't think about what you need to put in the case. The more appealing cases and bags, usually high quality, tend to be the heaviest of them all. When you find something you like, literally weigh it out in your mind before buy it.
Travel diaries and disposable cameras are a very important of your trip. Without these accessories you have no real way of recalling the most craziest and most fascinating experiences you're about to have. You know what it's like when you ask someone how their holiday was and they tell you they saw the beach and a couple tourist areas and took in a show in the evening for fun. You want to see it too! Take a look online or in the shops to find the product you like and will actually use.
Most people don't think they'll last long on a journey before they get comfortable and fall asleep. For some that is true but for others, like me, we need something to keep us entertained. A good book to lose yourself in will take your attention off the clock and allow the chance to escape the journey into a whole different time and/or place. Best sellers can be purchased at the airport at a slightly higher cost to the average retailer or bookstore but usually carry a wide selection.
Every day there's something new about what foods are good for us and what ones aren't. Whether eggs, coffee and chocolate are good or bad depends on who's talking. Red wine is supposedly good because it has an anti-aging ingredient, but I expect experts will change their minds about wine too. If wine has an anti-aging ingredient, why does it improve with age?
From a very young age I was told to eat all my vegetables because they're rich in vitamins and minerals. Carrots are rich in carotene, a chemical that converts to vitamin A. Carrots are good for skin, hair and nails. They're supposedly good for eyesight too, but I was suspicious about that as a child and I still am. If carrots are good for eyesight, why can't the Easter Bunny see that it should be the Easter Chicken who delivers the colored eggs?
Broccoli fights cancer and heart disease and is better for skin than sunscreen. Being an independent politically speaking, I never participated in Bush bashing - not until Bush #1 bashed broccoli. He said it left a bad taste in his mouth. Excuse me. Politics leaves a worse taste in the mouth.
And then there's okra. Okra's in the same plant family as hibiscus and cotton - and tastes like it. I'm a vegetarian. Vegetables are meant to be my friends, but that sticky substance that oozes out of the pods when they're cut makes me think okra suffers from SDS - Seventh Day Syndrome. If God hadn't rested on the seventh day, okra could have been improved.
Bread is said to be the staff of life, but there's bread and then there's bread. Unrefined bread is the good one because it still has all its healthy fiber. Refined bread - white bread - is the bad one because it only tastes good - and with peanut butter it tastes even better.
One of the first things I learned about food as a child was that food that doesn't taste good is good for you. The second thing I learned was that I had to eat all of it before I could have dessert.
Dessert was always some form of sugar and I still don't understand why sugar isn't good for us. It's a carbohydrate. Our bodies convert carbohydrates to energy. Am I the only one with enough energy to think sugar should be one of the basic food groups?
