Travel plan and travel light

Just after I wrote my financial posting yesterday I read another article somewhere about when you are not sure about your financial situation, write about it. When you write about it you will identify what is the reasons for you current financial management (maybe due to how your parents thought you, environment, friends?), what you think about your current financial and what you want to achieve in your financial planning.

Well come to think back, I really benefit from writing what I think about financial. I had a chat with hubby yesterday and we conclude that one of our biggest dream is to have enough for our retirement to travel around the world.

We love travel...sometimes our job gave us chances to travel. We are grateful with that. But of course we like to travel by our own better than travelling for business. We have lot's of travel plan and we are trying to make a point travelling 4 times in a year. That we include in our financial planning on how much the budget we have so that we can plan what are the places we afford to go. It is not necessary to be overseas travel...it could be local as well. As long as it fits in our budget.

Anyway we are going for our next trip soon. So we have our travel plan and we like to travel light. Let's check what do we carry when travelling with 2 little active toddlers age 3 and 5 for 7 days 6 nights kind of travel.

Clothing - When we go for 1 week or more we just bring maximum 3 days of clothing. Yes we do laundry so that we can travel light. Don't forget swimming attire for the kids on for you if the place has pool.
Toiletries - Small travel pack toiletries always become handy when we travel. Don't forget all your facial wash, soap, shampoo, tootpaste, toothbrush, sunblock, lip balm, comb ...list might go on but bring the importance one packed in small bottle.
Medicine - Travelling with small child we might not know what's gonna happen. I am prepared with plaster, antiseptic, fever medicine and a thermometer.
Snacks - Whether going to a place with easy access to food or not I stayed prepared for the first day or two. Biscuits, milo in packet, some bottled drinks, maggie (in case anyone get hungry in the middle of the night), bread (yes one loaf gardenia bread) and small pack of nutella.
Misc - Of course phone, chargers, camera and small lappie (if we know we have wifi access).
