Going to sea today, in the 21st century, it is hardly possible to get rid of swimming trunks alone. So, 10 accessories that you must not forget when traveling to the sea.
10. Sunscreen
“Thank you, Captain Obvious!” - Our dear reader must have thought. In vain, by the way, are ironic. After all, people who often go on vacation forget sunscreen precisely because this thing is always the first on the list, and against the background of the belief that the tube will certainly be in the suitcase. As soon as you have compiled a list and headed it with cream, you must first complete the item and put the treasured bottle in your luggage, and then switch to swimsuits. No, of course, there is another option that you don’t need any cream at all, and you go to the Barents Sea, but that’s not so, is it?
9. Umbrella
No matter how optimistic you are and no matter how the weather forecasters assure you that “plus 35 will be without clouds, I swear by a thermometer”, but you still need to take an umbrella with you. Mother nature is unpredictable, and where the sun was shining 5 minutes ago, now it can pour like a bucket. Even when it comes to resort towns. At the same time, it is not necessary to occupy half of the suitcase with a presidential umbrella - it is enough to take a miniature version that folds conveniently and compactly. Agree, the loss is not great if the umbrella is not useful, but in unwanted rain this assistant will be very welcome. So take it.
8. Insect spray
Annoying midges, mosquitoes and flies are traditionally an integral part of cities with a hot climate. These insects are not particularly appealing to humans, and even during their long-awaited vacation, their presence nearby is generally undesirable. Well, the apogee of hatred for buzzing creatures comes at a time when you just left the sea, and several mosquitoes are already rushing to stick around you. Along with sunscreen, an insect spray divides the palm on the list of suitcase gizmos. Be sure to put the bottle in your luggage, otherwise the impressions of the rest risk being slightly spoiled.
7. First aid kit
Of course, no one expects to get sick on vacation. And certainly no one wants to be sick at sea. Nevertheless, nobody canceled such a thing as acclimatization. In addition, when swimming by negligence, you can run into a sharp pebble and damage your leg. Another factor overshadowing the rest, can serve as poisoning. Of course, you do not need to tune in to the fact that all this will certainly happen to you, however, it is still desirable to have a small first-aid kit with you. It will be enough to put in it a banal hydrogen peroxide, plasters, activated carbon, a piece of bandage, as well as pills for a headache. All this easily fits in a small box.
6. Selfie stick
Oh times! Oh manners! Yes, yes, we live at a time when the cigarette is being charged from the computer, the phone instantly gives out a voice request, and taking pictures of ourselves is much easier than determining the gender of a resident of Thailand. And if some trends of techno-mode raise doubts about its viability, then a selfie stick is a reliable assistant already tested by time. At least it’s very convenient - take a picture of how much you fit in, and it’s not at all necessary to look down before an outsider to ask to retake the failed shot. At the same time, a selfie stick is very inexpensive and takes up minimal space in a suitcase. Wrap up!
5. A small kettle
“Well, why else?” - you are probably asking. There are 2 options. Suppose you are traveling to the sea together or in a company without children. A teapot in this case can come in handy if you suddenly decide to drink a cup or two of coffee, but you don’t feel like running to the cafe. Or here is another situation. For example, you went on a trip with a small child. Then the kettle will be needed to quickly boil water to prepare the baby formula. And another case that may be an unpleasant surprise. There will simply not be a teapot in the room, or it will be broken (believe me, this happens easily upon arrival).
4. Power Bank
Everything here is trite and unambiguous. A little thing like Power Bank is a must for a long trip. Portable charging is sure to come in handy both on the road (whether it's a car or train), or on the beach. Power Bank will not hurt during a long excursion away from the hotel. Even if you are sure that your phone is holding charge properly, you can still take a portable as a hedgehog (everything can happen, and you are alone in the middle of a foreign city). Such an accessory will definitely not be superfluous in a suitcase, while the minimum amount of space is required. The only thing, do not forget to charge the Power Bank itself (otherwise it will be awkward).
3. Children's toys on the beach
Yes, this is the only item that applies exclusively to travelers with young children. If adults have finally waited for a vacation and just want to bask in the sun and dabble in the sea, then the little one does not know fatigue - the little ones are ready to play almost around the clock. Therefore, you need to take care that your baby has something to do on the seashore. It can be various molds and buckets (wet sand is just perfect for Easter cakes), a ball for playing in water or a circle in the form of an inflatable duck (fun and safe). In addition, do not forget to bring your child’s favorite toys with you, with them the baby will feel more comfortable and more confident.
2. Toothpaste and brush
And again to your attention the things that you need with you without fail and which you can so easily leave at home. By the way, if you suddenly do not even expect to take dental supplies on a trip, then you are acting very vile in relation to your own oral cavity. Not a single chewing gum is even close by effectiveness with a traditional paste and brush. And simply, if you don’t brush your teeth for a long time, you get a feeling of discomfort, you yourself know. So, be sure to wrap the brush and paste along with sunscreen, with the very first point. By the way, it is better to buy a small tube of paste and an inexpensive brush separately for the trip. At least back less.
1. Keys to your home
Well, the apogee of absurdity will be a situation in which you forget to put the keys to your own home in a suitcase. It is clear that in most cases you close the house yourself, and the keys are automatically with you. However, there are tons of other options. For example, you called your parents to help you pack your suitcase, and just sit on the track. They can easily close the door behind you, and the next meeting with her will bring you a lot of disappointment and frustration. The same thing can happen to friends whom you asked to look after a cat or dog. In general, when collecting a suitcase, vigilance should not be lost.
