Digital Camera
This is perhaps the most essential item to pack for your vacation. Many other things can be replaced when you get there, but no one wants to shell out hundreds of dollars to replace a digital camera if they forget to pack it. Make sure to bring an extra battery and extra memory cards with you as well.

Portable DVD Player
This is one of the best ways to pass the dull times on a trip. Whether you are driving or flying in an airplane, having a portable DVD player to watch your favorite flicks will make the trip much more enjoyable. Don’t forget to bring a wide selection of movies that will appeal to everyone you are traveling with.

Reading Material
If you are a reading fan, you have probably noticed the poor quality of most of the selections you will find at airport bookstores or roadside convenience stores. If you want to avoid reading the latest popular fiction nightmare, then you need to remember to bring your books with you. Make it easy on yourself by bringing along a Kindle that has thousands of books, and then you will never have to worry about not having something to read.

Sunblock
Sure, you want to bring some souvenirs of your vacation back home with you, but you don’t want one of them to be a sunburn. Avoid getting that lobster look by packing a high quality sunblock in your bag. Make sure to get one that has at least a SPF 45 rating to give yourself complete protection from the harmful rays of the sun.

Sunglasses
If you have ever tried to find a good pair of sunglasses on vacation before, you may be aware of how fruitless the search can be. Most pairs you will find out on the road are flimsy and poor at blocking the sun. Make sure to remember to pack your favorite pair of shades.

Clothing
Of course, you want to make sure you and your traveling companions look your best. Don’t be shy to pack your significant other’s bags for him. If you are at the mall and think to yourself, “My man needs shorts like these,” then don’t be afraid to buy them and pack them for him.
