Taking a vacation can be a great way to get away from
everyday life and enjoy a relaxing pause. Making sure you have everything you
need to make your holiday go well is one thing you can ensure even before you
set off. Whether you are travelling alone, with a partner or with a large
family, making a holiday check list is essential for a pleasant and
headache-free getaway.
Give yourself a little time for packing before you set off
on your trip to ensure you don’t forget something essential for your holiday.
Create a big list of everything you want to take, marking out the essential
items you need. Prioritising items to take on your holiday is key to having
enough room in your suitcases and ensuring you don’t pay extra for unnecessary
luggage along the way.
Prioritise Your Essential Items
Choose the items you need to take according to the type of
holiday you have booked. If you are travelling to a self-contained resort, you
might find that the exceptional Apollo Bay accommodation offers many home
comforts that you can enjoy without bringing your own equipment.
Take time before your holiday to browse the services and
features offered to you by hotels and resorts in the area and make a list of
items you can find there. You may find that things like a wok, steamer, rice
cooker and other more interesting everyday items are already supplied by Great Ocean Road accom hotels and resorts that are fitted out to be ‘self-contained’.
Create your essential holiday packing list on a per-person
basis and then ensure that no items on your lists are counted twice. This will
help when unpacking your holiday gear as you will have more room in the bathroom
and bedroom to move around.
Create A Road Trip Check List for Your Vehicle
If you are going on a long road trip to discover the beauty
of the Great Ocean Road, ensure that you create a holiday check list of things
to pack in the car. There are a number of important essential road trip items
that will help you on your way, help you not to get lost and also offer help in
the event of a breakdown.
Essential road trip check lists may include inspecting your
vehicle before your trip to ensure that the vehicle is in good working order.
Check the tyres are in good shape, as well as the water and oil levels and
ensure that the vehicles battery is in tip top condition. If you have one, take
a GPS map system with you and ensure that it if sully updated to the latest
firmware, but it is also worth taking a paper map as well – the local tourist
information centres are best to source one of these, for free
Give Yourself Plenty of Time to Pack
The day before you holiday, you should recheck all of your
suitcases and luggage and tick them off as you pack. This way you will never
forget an essential item ever again. If something is missing from the list, you
have plenty of time to go and find it, or buy another swimsuit if need be.
Enjoying your vacation time and making sure that every
second counts when it comes to relaxing and unwinding is what matters for a
great holiday. Spending hours looking for your bathing clothes or spare
batteries for your camera can be a headache. So well in advance of your trip,
create a holiday check list and save yourself the heartache of a holiday from
hell.
