On the Road Again – Do You Need a Packing List?

While travel can be full of great adventures, meeting new people, seeing new places, and enjoying delicious foods, travel does have some things that cause travelers to worry about. One big worry is “Do I have everything I need for this trip?” One way to eliminate most, if not all this concern, is to compile a packing list and use it.

I have found that compiling a packing list using Microsoft Excel works nicely for me. Any spreadsheet will do the job as well. Once you have a packing list roughed out, save it. For each trip, make a copy and give the packing list a new name or create a new folder for each trip and copy the blank packing list into the trip’s folder.
