Travel Basics Bride Groom Weather Extras Toiletries Useful Extras Travel Basics
The list below includes items you don’t want to forget while traveling. Even if your destination is somewhere close, having this with you will help you avoid any delays and ensure a smooth journey to your honeymoon destination.
Passport And Government ID
When traveling internationally, a passport is always required. Be sure to keep it close to you and safe. We recommend getting a small case or passport holder to keep all important documents together and handy.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Credit Cards
Credit cards are easy to carry and cancel should they be compromised. Some banks usually offer low or even no international fees on certain credit cards. Be sure to contact your bank prior to travel to let them know you’ll be using your card abroad.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Cash And Traveler’s Checks
It’s always a good idea to keep some emergency cash or traveler‘s check with you at all times in case you run into any cash-only businesses or venros. Usually, large banks will offer the best exchange rate so try to avoid the airport or train station currency exchange kiosks.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Copies Of Important Documents
Take at least two clear photocopies of any important documents. Keep one with you, scan another copy and keep it in your phone and be sure to leave one with a close friend or family member. In case of an emergency or delays in your return, your contacts will be able to help.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Emergency Contacts
Keep a list of two to three emergency contacts in your wallet, carry-on and checked bags. Should you lose any items or have an emergency, your contacts might be able to help you out.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Travel Insurance
When traveling, plans can change in the blink of an eye. Travel insurance can help lessen the burden should you miss a flight, need to change your bookings or lose a valuable object like a camera or phone.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Chargers, Converters and Extra Batteries
Depending on where you’re going, be sure to check for the type of power outlet they use and buy a converter if necessary. Carry your charger with you at all times and an extra battery to charge on the go.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Books, Magazines Or E-Reader
You are bound to have some downtime during a long plane or train ride, so having something good to read can help the time pass by much faster.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Camera
Although phones usually take good photos, you might want to bring along your camera for some better shots. Many couples also like to disconnect during their honeymoon so bringing your camera will help you stay away from your phone.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Plane Tickets Or Scan Codes
Nowadays all you need is your flight’s scan code which can be easily stored on your phone. However, it’s always a good idea to print out a copy in case your phone runs out of battery.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Copies Of Your Reservations
Make sure you collect all of your confirmations into one folder in your inbox. If you won’t have service at your destination, print at least two copies of all your attraction tickets, bookings and reservations.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Itinerary
If you have one, be sure to keep it somewhere handy. Whether it’s in your phone’s notes or printed, it can help you and your spouse keep track of your daily activities and excursions.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Map Or Guide Of Your Destination
Even when you have phone service, make sure to keep a physical map or guide of your destination in your purse. Cell service can be spotty, especially if you’re traveling to a rural place or even a densely populated city.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Luggage Tags
Unique colored luggage and personalized luggage tags will help you identify your luggage much faster at the airport. Should they misplace your luggage, having them tagged and labeled properly can help you get it back much quicker.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Carry-On Bag
A carry-on bag is usually a must in our book. Even if you’re packing lightly, keep it relatively empty to pack a few snacks or bring back some cool souvenirs.
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Headphones
If you’d like to listen to music, watch TV, workout or meditate anytime during your trip, headphones can be helpful. They also don’t take much space so might as well bring them along
Are you sure you want to remove this item? Tote Or Reusable Bag(s)
Packing an empty tote or bag can be useful when bringing back dirty laundry or even fragile souvenirs. You can also use them to wrap your shoes and keep them away from your clean clothes
