Checklist When You Travel


1. Passport and Tickets

Most important thing to check before leaving is tickets and passport if you are going out of country. Though everything is available on smartphone these days, still it is wise to keep a pri
nt out of tickets with you. Do check day and time of travel once again to be sure.


2. Identification Card

It is one of the most important thing to carry with you. ID-card not only help in proving your identity if required, but also a requirement for booking a room, renting a vehicle, renting equipment for a activity etc. At places photocopy of ID-card can be taken, so make sure it has necessary details like address, photo and expiry date (if any).

3. First Aid Box

By first aid box I mean to say basic medicines that can be used if need arises. You can keep these medicines according to the requirement of your trip. For example in case of leisure travel headache medicine, pain killer, etc. will do. But if you are going on an adventure trip then you may require antiseptic cream, bandage, gauze, etc. If you have any disease condition, make sure you keep all such medicines with you.

4. Booking Papers

If you are a person who plans and does all the bookings for travelling then keep all your booking papers with you. You can have them in your smartphone but again it is wise to keep a hard copy. You can make a small file or envelope having all the papers and ID-card at one place.


5. Extra Money

These days money is not a problem with availability of number of ATMs and card payment. But when you go to a new place, location of ATMs and facility of card payment can't be that obvious. So carrying some extra money is a good idea. So that you have time to find out facilities available at your travel destination. This is even more important when you are travelling out of country because you have to exchange currency in advance. But don't keep all the money at one place, try to keep it divided in your wallet and bag.


6. Hygiene Kit

You should try to carry your stuff like toothbrush, paste, oil, cream, shampoo, deodorant and other toiletries with you, specially if you don't try to plan much before travelling. You never know when you may need these basic things. Off course these facilities are available in good hotels but there quality can be questionable. Moreover some people like to use there own stuff.

7. Chargers

Don't forget to keep chargers of mobile, laptop, camera or whatever you are carrying with you. Generally while packing we tend to forget most obvious things. These days multi pin chargers and power banks are available which is very compatible option to carry while traveling.

8. Water and Eatables

A water bottle and something to eat must have a place in your bag. It comes handy not only on the way and but also  on reaching the destination.

9. Clothes

Try to keep only necessary clothes. Extra clothing may increase the weight of your bag unnecessarily. It is important to check the weather of your destination beforehand, so that you can keep clothes accordingly.



With these basic things in your bag, you can enjoy your journey without unwanted problems. You should try to make a customized checklist according to type of vacation you are going for. 

Please add anything that I have missed to complete the checklist.

So pack your bags and ENJOY!!

Ladakh Continued...

Image
Hey readers! It's been a while since I uploaded a new post. So after reaching Ladakh today I am going to write about the places to visit in Ladakh, which will be followed by places to visit nearby Ladakh in subsequent posts. Since we were really tired of the journey from last two days so we decided to rest at Leh for two days and do some local sight seeing. Here's my husband talking about the journey to Ladakh valley. We booked a taxi for local sight seeing which is available on various prices depending upon the attractions you want to visit. You can book them either on daily basis or as package. Since the taxi drivers there follow the union rule so charges are more or less constant. We opted for daily basis as we had planned our journey in a way that after a trip to near by tourist spot we were able to rest at Leh city for a day or two. Otherwise you can opt for a round trip in which you can stay at Leh for few days and then travel to Nubra Valley followed by Pangong La

Singapore is comparatively a small country but it is the most happening place to live in. At no pint of time you will feel bored here. Despite various fests an activities going on I find Changi Airport one of the coolest  place to hang out. We have been to Changi airport few times for traveling purpose and we were always intrigued by the place. Since very long time we were planning for a night out there. This wish came true with the news of my parent in laws visiting Singapore. Since there flight's landing was scheduled for 4:00am, me and my husband decided to spend whole night exploring the place. Thankfully my husband supports me in these kind of weird activities. Despite of a lot many shops and outlets at Changi airport, in this post I am going to focus only on the things that I found attractive and interesting. So we reached there at 12 midnight by last bus from our place. You can use other conveyance options like mrt and taxi too. The bus drop
