Last week I arrived back in the UK from a weeks holiday in Tenerife, Spain. This was obviously a fun experience for me however, although I enjoyed my holiday very much, there are some things that I could have done differently, from packing to planning the holiday. In this post you are going to find some pictures from my holiday but also some tips to help with things like knowing what essentials you need to bring with you and what to pack.
For a start, to pack for a holiday you need a list. This list should contain everything that you need or want to bring with you on holiday, this means that if there is anything that you need to buy that you know that it needs to be bought and also when you are actually packing, you can go through this list to make sure that you have not forgotten anything that could be important.
The next thing would be to make sure that you are not over-packing. Be realistic about what your bringing. If you are only going for a week, you are really not going to need 20 outfits to wear.
Another thing would be to make sure that you know the weight limit on your luggage and make sure you weigh your luggage before you get to the airport. I know that I would not want to be throwing my things away at the airport! Also, a padlock on your suitcase would be a good idea! This makes sure your things are safe! Just remember to bring the keys!
Get your money exchanged in advance! This means you can find the best deals and get good value out of your money. It also means that this is not left until the last minute which can be stressful! The less things that are left until the last minute the better because it means that you will be more relaxed which after all, if your going to be going on holiday I am sure you do not want any unnecessary stress.
2 hours early? Make sure you get to the airport at least 2 hours before your flight time! Things like security can take a long time to get through, not because of anything you have done wrong, but simply because like you, a lot of people are getting on planes too!
Something that is essential on holiday, especially if the place you are going to is a hot place, is sun screen. I do not know if it is just me, but burning seems to be a problem! I burnt with sun screen on so I am sure that if I was not wearing it, the burn would be a lot worse! An essential that goes hand in hand with sun cream would be some sort of after sun. One with Aloe Vera would be best as it soothes the skin,
Another essential would be sunglasses. These do not only just add an extra something to an outfit but they also protect your eyes and that is important. try to find some with a UV protection as these will be the ones that protect your eyes from the sun.
When you are finally at your destination, drinking plenty of water is something you should always be doing, however tap water in a different country may not always be safe for you to drink, make sure you do your research and if the tap water is not safe, bottled water will be the way forward.
Finally, have fun and stay safe! Make sure you stay with your friend or family member until its safe to part from each other. If you are of drinking age and do go out, make sure you stay together because looking for someone is not fun! And enjoy your holiday! After all, you have paid a lot of money to!
Here are a couple of pictures from my holiday!
