Holidays!

Going on holiday is exciting, but there is so much to think about. . . reservations, passports, currency, cash cards, flight tickets and many more which can make anybody feel overwhelmed. Here are some tips to make it easier for you to relax and enjoy your holiday!

Roll your garments

Roll, don’t fold your clothes. Not only does it save space, but it avoids creases too. Tuck underwear into the gaps and stick rolled up socks inside shoes. Wear your heaviest clothing to travel in, such as trousers and a sweatshirt or jacket to keep you warm on cooler evenings. After all, airlines weigh baggage,
not you!

Divide your property

If you keep your wallet, keys, passport, and mobile in your purse or travel bag, then you’ll be in an unpleasant
position if that bag goes missing or ends up stolen.
A simpler way to carry property is to split them into different bags. If you loose your cash card then you’ve got a backup Visa card in another bag to use for the period of your trip. This one is maybe one of the most important travel packing tips.

Ziplock bags

How do you usually organise all of your electronics, cables, those fiddly bits that take you ages to dig out at security? Stuff them in like the rest of us? Well, if you want to organise your packing then get yourself a stash of ziplock bags. Phone charger, adaptors, headphones – take extra plastic bags (the same ones you’d use for hand luggage liquids) and use them to store electrical items, house keys, parking ticket car keys and medication and other loose accessories.

Do you really need it?

Be ruthless with your clothing. Whatever clothes you think
you’re going to need, get rid of at least a third. You’ll probably spend most of your time in your swimwear.

Snorkelling

You will see some truly spectacular sights when snorkelling when you visit another world. Staying safe while enjoying the experience is paramont, here are some helpful tips :
