Packing for a Holiday Trip

Wherever you are traveling this holiday season, you will need a few staple items for your trip. Here are my favorite items to bring on a beach trip or cruise, a ski trip, a road trip or an overseas excursion.

Beach Trip or Cruise:
Besides a good book for the beach, you'll need a great pair of sunglasses that are stylish and block the sun, a carry-all beach bag and a comfortable swim suit you can mix and match with different colored tops and bottoms.

Ski Trip:
When going to a ski lodge or cabin, you'll need a warm sweater you can throw on after a long day of skiing or snowboarding, a cozy hat to keep you ears warm and waterproof boots for walking in the messy slushy snow.

Road Trip:
Wherever you're going across the country or to the next state, comfort is number one when sitting in the car for a few hours. A long cardigan is great for layering with a t-shirt or turtleneck, stretchy jeans are perfect for long-term sitting and slipper flats are easy to slip on and off.

Trip Overseas:
For a trip to Europe or another area overseas, versatility is key. A military jacket is good to take on day trips and easy to carry around, a cross-body bag won't be too heavy but has just enough room for the essentials, and a fedora will shade you from the sun and keep you hair in place all day.
