  Step 1:  Consider Your Destination

Open a Report
There are many factors to consider when packing. These include the weather, method of travel, space available and accommodations. Ensure that you have these clear in your mind as you begin packing.
  Step 2:  Packing Clothing

Open a Report
Consider the weather and what you will be doing while you are traveling. Check Yahoo! for long-range weather forecasts for the area that you will be traveling to. Pack appropriate clothing and allow for a few extra changes, in case of delays. Pack footwear that is appropriate for what you will be doing, particularly if you will be doing a large amount of walking.
  Step 3:  Packing Toiletries

Open a Report
Most hotels provide basic toiletries to patrons. Before you pack, contact the hotel to ensure that these will be available to you.
  Step 4:  Consider Special Items

Open a Report
Make certain your list includes any special equipment that you need. Search for local utilities companies and contact them to find out what voltage is used. If it differs from the US, you will require a voltage converter for any electrical items that you pack.
  Step 5:  Remember Documentation

Open a Report
Don't forget your documentation! If required, remember to include your passport, licenses, immunization records and proof of citizenship. Your holiday may be cut short if you forget any of these items!
