What should I pack?

This is the question you may find yourself asking the day before you are due to travel away from home for your well earned holiday.

Of course, there are no hard and fast rules about this.  A lot depends on your destination and the reason you are going on holiday.  However, there are a few things we recommended you have in your luggage – just in case.

So when you are jetting away to sunny climes, you will need to take your beach wear and appropriate footwear.   Light clothing such as t. shirts and shorts is ideal for the daytime as are a few outfits to get dressed up in for those balmy nights out.  A pair of good walking shoes is essential if you intend to do a spot of sightseeing as well as a pair of jeans and a jacket or cardigan for if the temperature drops a little at night time.

If your are off skiing for your holidays, as well as your usual skiing equipment you will need to take warm clothing and adequate footwear for when you are away from the slopes.  A hat, scarf and gloves would probably not go amiss too.

Other useful items to have in your case are a small torch, a needle and cotton and a basic first aid kit.
