In order for your holiday to leave behind only pleasant memories, you need to carefully consider what to take to the sea.
What to take with you on holiday
basic things for travelling:
- suitcase, bag or rucksack.
- Comfortable shoes.
- Vietnamese shoes / slippers.
- Comfortable clothes for sightseeing.
- A set of long-sleeved clothing.
- hat.
- underwear, pyjamas.
- A bag for toiletries.
- fumigator (insect repellent).
- towel.
- sunglasses.
- mackintosh.
- small rucksack or banana bag.
- documents.
- Phone.
- A book.
- chargers.
- Energy snacks.
- Water.
- Sleep mask and earplugs.
essentials for the sea:
- documents in a sealed bag.
- swimming costume or swimming trunks (it is advisable to take two pairs for changing).
- beach sandals.
- beach towel.
- sunglasses with UV filters.
- Cream and lipstick with UV filters.
- headgear.
- A set of clothes for every day plus one spare (for spring and autumn trips it’s worth bringing more in case you get wet).
- A set of clothes and shoes in case of cold weather: sweatshirt, long trousers.
- moisturising cosmetics for skin and hair (salt water is very drying).
- a regular set of cosmetics that you use every day (if your luggage has little space, pour it into smaller bottles and put it in your bag with a zip instead of a cosmetic bag).
- First aid kit (you will need painkillers, diarrhoea medication, ointment for insect bites, plasters, bandages, foam for possible sunburns).
- Bags and sacks for wet things and rubbish.
It is better to start packing your suitcase a few days before departure. There will always be something in your wardrobe that has sharply decreased in size over the past year, out of fashion or just disappeared somewhere.
Most importantly, take on holiday a great mood. The holiday will not live up to expectations if you will worry about things forgotten at home. Many of the above lists can be bought locally, so sit back and relax!
