Toiletries to pack
Here is a list of all the toiletries to pack that you may need so get a pen out now and cross off what is not in your repertoire. Also add those special items that you use that may not be on the list.
When you take a look at this list you will see that there is an enormous amount of “stuff”. No wonder it is easy to forget things if they are not pre-packed – you will not remember from one trip to the next what was used or nearly empty, you may do 5 overnight trips in a row and then a 2 week international trip and so you will need more than a traveler’s pack of shampoo to name a couple of reasons. It is easy to forget things that are not pre-packed. Also remember that the brands of these items on your list are special to you. Over many years you have worked out what you like best to use. When overseas, your favourite brand may not be available. Brands are like familiar friends when traveling; the angst that will come from not having your favourite if you run out overseas will be exaggerated and is not worth the trouble.
