Going on a trip. What should not be forgotten.

Today, I want to draw your attention to the issue of how to collect your luggage before you travel and what should be in the luggage of each room, regardless of whether he goes in civilized Europe or unexplored Amazon jungle. If you are an experienced traveler, it is likely that these tips will seem trivial, but most beginners tourists still manages to go on holiday, scoring rubbish bag and leaving home essentials

1. Cash

Of course, no one goes on vacation with no money, but many are too trust bank cards, and yet they are not without drawbacks. ATM card can be swallowed, it can be lost, and if poorly trained girl in the native store will make it illegal operation, it will block the card immediately. In addition, a fair amount of cash may be required at the airport, border control in some countries may ask you for cash at the rate of about 50 euros for each day of stay. The fact that you have passed all the checks at the consular department, they do not care, and bank statement as they are not satisfied, only cash. And, in addition to large bills, it is useful to have a bit of trivia that you can feed the pay toilets, vending machines with candy bars and stuff.

2. Credit card

Yes, although you and brought along a thick wad of cash, a credit card does not hurt. From using solid benefits, and on the exchange rate will save a lot, and do not build up pockets of a handful of local strum little things that I can then take only familiar numismatists. That's only in developing countries, cases of fraud with plastic cards are not uncommon, so it is better to travel to make myself a separate card, not paying that for which you get paid.

3. Copies of all documents

Constantly talk about it all is serving overseas, and yet the Russian consulates constantly have to mess with the tourists who do not have any sort of identity. One more time. Before the trip, clear photocopies of all documents and tickets. Carry a photocopy and the original lock in the hotel safe.

4. Swiss Army Knife

A small folding knife is useful not only to the pioneering campaign, but in a five star hotel. Application of mass. And the fruit peel, and wine to open and cut nails, and even twist the screws came loose in the suitcase. In general, the only useful thing. Where do you need iron and boiler. That's only in your hand luggage to put it is not necessary, the security service can take you for an evil terrorist.

5. Medicine chest

Move all the contents of the suitcase home kit is certainly not worth it, but some medications must be taken with you in any way, overseas you can buy without a prescription only aspirin and vitamins. The standard set of vacationers typically include activated carbon, no-spa, aspirin, stomach remedies and band-aid. Well, if you have some kind of chronic disease, be sure and money from them. But antibiotics are not worth taking, if it comes to them, it is better to use the insurance and seek medical advice. And be careful with strong medicines, harmless by Russian standards tablets abroad may be drugs, particularly zealous in the search for banned drugs Ukrainian customs.

6. Good phone

Many fear of native cunning thieves leave their communicators latest model home, and take a journey lovingly stored Siemens C35, in which case it is not sorry. But here in the Internet do not go out with him, and the access to the network at rest, albeit with a very expensive roaming can be very useful. Find the same abroad free WI-Fi, too, is usually not a problem, especially in Western Europe. So if a good communicator you can find out the weather forecast, see schedules, read descriptions of the tours and save on expensive international calls by simply unsubscribing to relatives in the "ICQ". And the GPS navigation can also be useful.

7. 220V adapter

Not everyone pays attention to the fact that in a country where you go, the standard electrical outlets can be very different, and your cell phone charging from a wall outlet does not accommodate the UK even with the above-mentioned Swiss army knife. So it is better to buy an adapter required in advance, as in a strange city to find him can not be delayed by one hour. If you are still faced with the problem of combining the charger and plug, the search for the required adapter is better to start at the reception hotel, the desired device can find them at the counter or, in extreme cases, they tell you where you can buy.

8. Notebook

The need laptop on a trip - a very controversial issue. On the one hand, it only aggravates the luggage and does not break, and so tired of the eye. On the other hand, on a trip from a good one. And the plane has something to do, and in case of bad weather you can see the movie, and in the network to go with it much more comfortable than a mobile phone. In fact, the lack of a laptop, only one - weight. But if you travel frequently, then it is possible to travel to buy a compact and low-cost netbook.

9. Guide

Whether to take a guide with you, too, a simple question. If you like to walk on the beaten tourist paths it certainly makes sense to reserve a space in your suitcase for a thin book with a description of the area. If you are fairly seasoned traveler and prefer to explore new cities without bias, the guide for you - only an extra load. In any case, buy a guide in Russian - not a problem in almost any significant tourist city in Europe.

10. Common sense

As the chief sanitary doctor of Russia Onishchenko, mainly our people, going on vacation, leave the house down. Of all the things in this journey, perhaps, the most essential. If you have a head on his shoulders and with common sense is all right, regardless of what you left behind, and to pack in a suitcase, you can leave the envy of all.
