With vacation time just around the corner, now is the time to start planning what you want to take with you. Many items are now restricted on airplanes, so you need to get a list first thing in order to know what is and what isn't allowed. There are a few things you can have ready ahead of time that will end up saving you valuable minutes as you're doing your final packing. Below is a list of some things you might want on your list. Most of these items, you can have ready to place in your luggage when you begin to add clothing, etc.
Add to this First Aid list as you think of things you might or can use. Better to have them and not need them than the other way around.
I print out several lists and keep one in every piece of luggage, noting which piece of luggage things are in when possible. You will not believe how much time this is going to save you in searching for what you need when you need it. Keep in mind that everybody's list is going to be a little bit different. Only you can predict what your family might want or could possibly need. You'll be adding and deleting from this list every year for the rest of your life, so don't feel that you need to carve it in stone.

I agree with most of what's on your list, but as far as the medical items, I wouldn't even know how to use most of them. If I were injured badly enough to need those items, I would go to a walk in clinic or emergency department. I wouldn't attempt to treat serious injuries on my own.
I make a list, then forget it or where I put it.
I like the idea of making several copies of my
Thanks for the tip IPlay. You can also take along a small pair of nail clippers. They pass airport security and work on thread, cutting luggage tags, etc.
Thank you to BooBear and IPlay for the great
ideas. This is the best group of people to share
with. You always end up getting as good as you
give.
All the best,
