With summer sun now upon us and a multiple of holiday hoorays to be had, it pays to ensure you’re fully prepared for the adventure that lies ahead with a holiday checklist.
There’s nothing like the exited build-up to a holiday, be it at home or abroad. And by the same association, no single sensation of extreme panic when realising you’ve forgotten, mislaid or misinterpreted something, whereby your beach holiday may be jeopardised!
But relax… here’s a handy guide to ensuring your escape is an exercise in organised excellence.
Important Documents
The obvious is to ensure your passport has at least six months of validity from the date of travel, particularly for international airline trips. And at the same time make sure any visas or necessary travel permits are completed and filed for your airline.
Always carry some other form of photo ID, and obtain travel insurance that covers health, travel delays, theft, loss and activities related to your beach holiday. While we live in a digital age, printing your travel itinerary – including tickets, hotel reservations and any tour bookings – provides a handy back-up should your mobile phone be lost or you suffer an inconvenient unresponsive battery moment.
It’s also worth having a written list of emergency contacts, including local emergency numbers for your type of holiday.
Safe House
Ensure your home is secure or arrange for someone to check on it periodically, including asking people you trust to collect your mail, so your family holiday isn’t public information.

Health Precautions a Holiday Checklist Must
Check if you need any vaccinations for your destination well in advance and make sure that you stay informed about any health advisories or travel warnings related to your destination.
Travel Money
Obtain some local currency for immediate needs like transportation or meals upon arrival, notify your bank of your travel plans to avoid any fraud alerts on your accounts, and use a travel wallet to keep your documents organised and secure.
Clothes And Accessories
While packing clothes suitable for the climate of your destination is obvious, factor in possible days away from the beach or mountains, and the reality that you may embark on long walks or romantic nights out where the bikinis and trunks will need to be subtly substituted for an altogether more stylish type of attire.
Remember that sunglasses, hats and scarves can be both suave and functional, and bring a small laundry bag to separate dirty clothes from clean ones, especially when packing for a ski holiday.

Bring any prescribed medications with sufficient supply for the trip, a copy of the prescription, and a first aid kit complete with holiday essentials such as band-aids, antiseptic wipes and pain relievers.
Electronics
A phone charger is essential and portable battery pack smart. Check as well if you need a power adapter or converter for your electronics in your destination, especially if you’re travelling for a ski holiday.
