We’ve all been there – out on the road or at an airport on a lengthy layover and you forgot to pack an essential item that is needed daily. Ugh! Here is where a little preplanning will help avoid replacing a much needed item when you’d rather spend the cash on a souvenir. I prepared this checklist for myself but it is greatly requested so I thought I’d share it with you.

In Summary
While I have never been a Boy Scout, I do believe in their motto of “ALWAYS Be Prepared.” The items on this travel checklist is far from being all inclusive. It will however, give you a head start on packing the essentials to travel safe and prepared so the trip will have less bumps in the road. Planning ahead will save time and money allowing good memories to be made instead of stressing to replace items that were forgotten but needed. With many COVID restrictions being relaxed summer travel is open road ready. Use this checklist to make sure you are ready as well! Have a fun, safe, well travelled summer!
All excellent things to pack.
I agree. 😉
