Whenever you are going on a vacation there is a lot of things to do or things to carry while travelling abroad or domestic, so before packing your bags just make a check list of things that you want to carry. Here, I am suggesting you some important items that you might need while travelling. I can divide these things into following categories-

Medicos:
Your health is one of the prime factors which can be effected by climate change, so be sure to carry medicines that you might need while traveling because without being fit you can’t fully enjoy your trip. Whenever you are going to a trip do some researches for that destination like: climate, temperature, weather, food etc. After researching these points keep some generally used medicos for: fever, cold, vomiting, gas, antibiotic, pain killers, antiseptic creams, and your current regular medicines (if any).
So where ever you are going to spend a holidays don’t forget to take a print out of this packing list. Hope this might be of use to you the next time you are travelling!
