PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
Pre-travel Checklist
In order to enjoy your travel, having all the right
tools and supplies will help. A checklist may be
beneficial to avoid forgetting something
essential. This list is meant to be a starting
point, while realizing that personal preference
will also play a large roll in your packing. There
are items here that may not apply for you and

wish to develop your own list of needs.
