Essential items to take on holiday with you

So you are off to somewhere hot, exotic and relaxing, so all you need to do is just pack a few clothes and you are done, right? Wrong! Whenever you go on holiday, it is always worth making sure that you prepare for any likely scenarios so that you have no problems wherever you go.

Here is a list of things you should consider taking with you:

• Clothes - obviously most people will take some clothes on holiday with them. Check that you have a selection of clothes available to cover you for all eventualities, like on cold nights you may want to wear jeans or trousers rather than your Hawaiian patterned shorts;
• Money and passports - another obvious one, but some people forget to bring any money or passports (or both) with them on holiday. Make sure you have got both of these essential items sorted before you leave your home!
• Day bag - a strong day bag is essential for any holiday, and it means you can conveniently carry essential items such as beachwear, food and refreshments. In order to save space in your suitcase, consider taking your day bag with you on the plane as carry-on baggage;
