    • Home preperation

    • A pile of newspapers or a stuffed mailbox tells thieves that you are not at home.
    • One way to help protect your home while away on vacation is to make it seem like the homeowners are currently there. This can be done by setting up timer lights throughout the house. Lights can be placed on timers both indoors and out which will present an at home atmosphere. Those who perpetrate breaking and entering crimes will be less likely to target a home which has lights on and may opt for houses which are dark and obviously no one is home.

    • Accessories

    • Keeps your ears warm and works as a sleeping mask as well.
    • Easily stolen, so don't bring anything too valuable.
    • Toiletries

    • Ditch the bulky bath towel. There's only one way to go when traveling - microfiber travel towels. They dry quickly, are soft, incredibly absorbent, and roll up to take virtually no space.
    • Must be pretty sturdy. Glass may not be a good idea for some journeys.
    • Also handy for pulling out splinters
    • Health & medications

    • If you require prescription lenses in your glasses, take a spare pair of glasses with you. There is nothing worse than having your glasses break or losing them on holiday and having no spare pair to fall back on.
    • Laundry

    • Sleeping gear
