What You Should Pack For Vacation
The best advice I can give you when traveling is to PACK LIGHT!! If there is something you desperately need, you can usually find it eventually. It’s so nice to feel light and free on your travels and not weighed down because you are carrying so much stuff. Handwash your clothes, wear them over and over (trust me, no one will care), and get a Kindle for those long bus rides.
Clothing:
1. 2 pairs of shoes (make sure they are comfortable)
2. Hiking convertible pants that zip off to become shorts
3. 1 skirt/ 1 dress
4. 3 tank tops
5. 2 nicer short sleeve shirts for nice dinners
6. Long sleeve T-shirt
7. Button up shirt for layering over tank tops
8. Warm socks for the plane
9. Microfleece sweatshirt
10. Two bathing suits
11. One sarong (can be used as both cover up and beach blanket)
12. Pajamas
Toiletries
1. Brush/ hair product/ shampoo
2. Toothbrush/ paste/ floss
3. Deodorant
4. Castile soap
5. Razor/shaving gel
6. Nail clippers
7. Makeup/Lip balm
8. Band-Aids/antibiotic cream
9. Sunscreen/Sunglasses
10. Mosquito Spray
11. Ibuprofen
12. An antibiotic like Cipro in original prescription bottle
13. Aloe Vera
14. Tweezers
15. Eyedrops
Gear:
1. Laptop
2 Kindle
3. Camera with extra batteries and SD cards
4. Moneybelt
5. Lock for backpack or bag
Other Items:
1. Flashlight/ Headlamp
2. Passport/Visa/Vaccination Card
3. Cash/ Credit Cards
4. Copies of E-tickets and Hotel Confirmations

Hi, I couldn’t agree more about packing light! Also, if you can fit it into a carry-on sized bag you won’t have to wait for your bag at the carousel after landing, and you will have full control of your bag during the flight. No worries that your bag will get lost either.
I’d like to add two things to your list: put paper napkin packages, the kind with 10 pcs in them, in every little space you have in your bag. They can be used as napkins when you eat something on the street or in a park, as toiletpaper when there is none in the public loo, and of course you can also blow your nose in them 😉 And, in addition to the napkins, also squeeze wet wipes in there. I love being able to freshen up whenever I feel the need.
