When we have booked a holiday, we tend to lose track of any practical aspects of preparation, instead sitting at their desk, fantasising about topping up their tan on the beach and feeling sand between their toes. Unfortunately, we do sometimes forget what we need to pack, leaving it until the very last minute with the consequence being one or two essential items being left.
Sun cream with SPF. Obviously, only applicable if you're going to a destination with a sunny climate but then UK holidaymakers tend to make this a priority when deciding upon a destination. If this is your plan, you will need to protect yourself from the sun or the pain you feel will cancel out the pleasure you get from the sunshine. You will only be annoyed with yourself if you have a peeling tan and feeling burnt all because you forgot to pack sun cream.
Digital camera. One of the most popular places for people to take their cameras is on holiday and forgetting to pack it is something that many have regretted. Now, with the welcome introduction of social networking websites more people like to share their holiday photos with friends and family so those memorable holiday moments are more important than ever to capture.
Passport and tickets. Without your passport you aren't even going to get past the departure airport and whilst this item should be at the top of most people's list of essentials it is also often something they actually forget when arriving at the airport. Finding the crucial items such as passports and travel tickets should be the first thing a person does before they begin to pack.
Holiday insurance. This is another essential item which you must arrange in advance. If one of your party or any of your luggage disappears or the holiday is cancelled by the travel company or airline, your holiday insurance will cover you. So ensure that you pack all the documentation necessary to prove that you are covered, just in case.
