Now to cover each section:
What to pack:
Packing lists are great yes, but sometimes they stink. I mean look at the one on the site: Mine contains 90 items.
- To do for most trips are rather useful.
- Shoes: They only say sandles. Let me tell you from my last trip to Washigon, D.C sandles will just MURDER your feet. Remember people, confort before style. Dont buy new shoes though. Wear you confortale ole worn in ones. Check your destination plans to make sure your not bringing dress shoes to a beach vacation or sandles to the opera.
- Who the heck travels with a unbrella? If it rains, put on a darn rain parka. You'll stay just as dry without wasting precious space DUH
- The clothes for women catorgy is missing unmentionables for below the belt
- What are beach pants? I don't understand that one. I wear whatever pants slide over my swimsuit. OH these are the pull on pants like my grandmother wears. Pull on dress pants people!
- If you put paper documents in a paper folder its just obtusive. It works better to put them in something like this http://www.amazon.com/Ann-Millie-Travel-Document-Holder/dp/B000II9R6W/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=apparel&qid=1205687551&sr=8-2
- Forget the maps, most times you can pick one up for free.
- Unless you read every night before bed skip the novel and magizines. I took three new ones last time I went on vacation, NEVER even cracked a cover.
- Dont bother with a cork screw you can borrow them everywere.
- Who carries a thermos? I do reccomend though a EMPTY water bottle (like a hard plastic propell bottle). Very useful in 90 degree weather when water is $3 a bottle
- As for what to pack in, I reccomend a duffel bag. They expand well and lots of stuff fits in them.
Check with your airline on carry on size BEFORE you shopThink quality. My personal reccomendations are protgue sport and essential. They are both moderelty priced. My essentials carry on's have been used to hold board games in a messy closet when not in use. They have survived being tossed,shoved and stuck. I love how this site covers differnt types of travlers and how they should pack.
overall this site gets a B+ for being practical. A C- for covering all aspects and a Overall C+
Recommended: Yea, but dont make it your only travel site
