Travel Lists

Here is a series of lists I have come up with over many years. I use them as a reminder when I am packing for a trip of any sort. It saves a lot of time and stress knowing that everything you need is probably written down.

Mostly they have come from trial-and-error. Each time I have been on a trip and discovered there was something I needed which I didn’t have with me, I added it to my list.

I recommend that you copy these into your own document, delete everything which isn’t relevant to you, add stuff which is relevant and print it out.
