5 items you must take with you on any holiday

By Harriet Appleton


A summer holiday can be one of the most exciting times of the year and after the rain and cold winters notorious to the UK many holidaymakers will often make early bookings for their forthcoming foreign holidays choosing to relax and unwind in warmer climates. However, regardless of whether a warm beach holiday or an exhilarating ski holiday has been booked there are some key holiday essentials which you should never travel without.

Sun cream with SPF. Obviously, only applicable if you're going to a destination with a sunny climate but then UK holidaymakers tend to make this a priority when deciding upon a destination. If this is your plan, you will need to protect yourself from the sun or the pain you feel will cancel out the pleasure you get from the sunshine. You will only be annoyed with yourself if you have a peeling tan and feeling burnt all because you forgot to pack sun cream.

Digital camera. One of the most popular places for people to take their cameras is on holiday and forgetting to pack it is something that many have regretted. Now, with the welcome introduction of social networking websites more people like to share their holiday photos with friends and family so those memorable holiday moments are more important than ever to capture.

Passport and tickets. Without your passport you aren't even going to get past the departure airport and whilst this item should be at the top of most people's list of essentials it is also often something they actually forget when arriving at the airport. Finding the crucial items such as passports and travel tickets should be the first thing a person does before they begin to pack.

Holiday insurance. Unfortunately, holiday insurance is often another essential item which can often be overlooked, however, if one of the party travelling become ill or luggage goes missing or even if the holiday is cancelled through no fault of your own it is holiday insurance (or lack of it) that can spell the loss of your money and holiday should you forget it. Don't just buy insurance; bring the documents with you in case of emergency.
