How Making a Vacation Check List Can Save Your Holiday Experience

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.
