We used to prepare a list of things to pack every time we went away and we always worried we would forget something. So, to save time and to make sure this didn’t happen, we created a list which we could just print off for every holiday. Of course, some things will not be relevant for each trip and you may be heading off for something a little more specialist which will mean adding to the list but it’s a start.
