If you're going out of the country for your vacation, you'll want to make sure you have copies everyone's travel documents. This will save you time at the gate and eliminate any hassle you would run into from not having proper identification. Save yourself the headache by bringing a copy of everything, just in case something goes missing. You won't want to miss your flight or take an extra trip back home to grab anything you forgot!
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it's extremely easy to forget sunscreen! Usually, vacation spots and convenience stores will overcharge customers for this commodity. Some stores charge up to $8 for a small bottle, so you'll definitely want to come prepared for your vacation. Your skin (and wallet) will thank you later after you lather on some sunscreen you brought from home!
Forgetting one of these can cost you up to $15-20, depending on your phone and what kind of charger it needs. It's easily forgotten in the mess of packing all your other items, but you'll be thankful you have it on you. Keep in contact with everyone, and take lots of pictures with your fully charged phone by keeping your charger on hand. Make sure you double check before you leave!
4. Extra Memory Card
Bringing a digital camera on your trip? It never hurts to have an extra memory card on hand. You may bring a full or near-full card by accident, and without an extra memory card, you may need to delete some old photos. Save yourself the trouble and bring a spare with you! You'll be able to record more moments and share some more fond memories later with your friends and family. Plus, it serves as a great backup in case you lose the first one!
5. Sunglasses
Much like sunscreen, sunglasses are often overpriced at vacation spots and convenience stores. Expect to spend at least $15 on a pair if you forget yours. However, the best and most cost-effective solution to this is to just bring your own! It'll keep your eyes safe, your outfit stylish, and your wallet safe from overpriced shades.
6. Hairbrushes
Forgetting one of these can be a costly mistake, as finding a decent hairbrush on a vacation can be a daunting task. To eliminate the time consuming process of search for a new one, double check and make sure you bring your hairbrush with you! Keep your hair and bank account in check this vacation season by remembering to pack your hairbrush!
7. Snacks
Whether you're driving for long periods of time or are waiting at the airport, snacks help you avoid any unnecessary stops and keep your stomach full. It can help you save unnecessary costs when purchasing snacks at your vacation spot and helps you curb your appetite when you're hungry between meals! Keep the kids and your appetite satisfied this vacation season with some high quality snacks!
8. Prescriptions
If you or someone in your family takes medicine on a regular basis, making sure you bring extra doses with you will help with flight delays or traffic. You'll save your family from a stressful vacation by keeping extra medication on hand! If your baggage gets lost or goes missing at the airport, it can't hurt to have a backup prescription or medication on hand, as well.
9. Headphones
These accessories have multiple benefits during vacation. If you're on an airplane and you get stuck next to the crying child, putting these in can drown out the sound and help you relax more on your flight. If you're on a road trip and one of your kids is getting bored, headphones allow them to listen to music or watch a movie. Don't forget to bring headphones!
10. Light Jackets
At night, temperatures tend to drop, even in the summer. The best way to fight the cold evening winds is with a light jacket! It won't make you feel too hot and will still protect you from the cool air. Plus, if it rains, you'll have something to protect yourself from weather discomfort!
