Travel Tips from Warwick Hotels & Resorts: Making the Most Out of Your Journey

Essential Tips to Pack for Your Journey

A dose of pragmatism can go a long way if you hope to avoid any surprises throughout your travels. However, it also pays to think outside the box if you really want to cover all bases before departing.

• Any important medication that might be difficult to obtain abroad.
•  
• Traveller's cheques to avoid the need of constantly searching for cash points.
•  
• An external battery for your smartphone (for non-stopping walkers).
•  
• Toiletries such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and grooming products these products can sometimes be overpriced).
•  
• Sunglasses, sandals, shorts, and sunscreen (if travelling to a warm region).

Bringing along comfortable shoes and clothing can likewise ensure that you will be able to relax throughout the duration of the journey. If travelling by plane, it is also wise to include a jumper and skin moisturiser within your carry-on luggage. The interior of a plane can sometimes become cold during the flight.

Packing for International Travel: Don't Forget an Adaptor

It's important to remember that certain countries and regions rely on different sources of mains electricity. For example, those travelling from Europe to the United States should purchase a universal power adaptor in advance of their departure. This will keep you "plugged in" at all times, and allow you to perform vital tasks such as charging your phone or laptop. After all, there is nothing worse than arriving at a destination only to realise that your gadgets will not function.

Beat Boredom: Bring Along Entertainment for the Journey

Even if the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, it might not always feel that way if you happen to be undertaking a long journey. This is when a much-needed dose of entertainment can work wonders. Here are items that can be used to make the trip more agreeable:

• A deck of cards.
•  
• Travel-sized games such as a magnetic chessboard.
•  
• Downloadable smartphone games that do not require an active Internet connection to play.

Another sure-fire tip involves downloading films or popular sitcoms to your device before leaving home. Not only will these melt away the hours, but they are great ways to keep children entertained until you arrive at the destination. Besides, if you find yourself without internet connection during your trip, you will already have them on your devices!
