The Essential Packing List for Daytrips to Theme Parks
via: Can Tran
Being a theme park enthusiast from the time that I was a child, I have learned a thing or two over the years about packing for a day of fun. A trip to a theme park is always an adventure, but if you're not prepared, your day of fun could easily turn into a tiny little nightmare. With a little bit of extra planning, one can enhance an already amazing experience by packing the properly.
CLOTHING
It is important to pack long sleeved shirts or jackets for all members of your family. The type of clothing depends upon what time of year it is and where you are going. It is also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks for each member of the family, especially the children, as those wonderfully exhilarating water rides can be fun, but wet socks that won't dry aren't so much fun. I can remember one trip where I actually got blisters on my heels from wet socks rubbing between my skin and shoes. I also try to bring along an extra pair of pants, as there is nothing more uncomfortable than wearing a wet pair of jeans all day long.
FOOD
You don't want to pack too much food, as you will probably want to experience at least some of the cuisine offered at the theme park of your choice (that's half of the fun), but it's always a good idea to bring some energy enhancing snacks, such as fruit, trail mix, pretzels, etc. This can mean the difference between spending alot of money on little snacks or a little money on one or two decent meals.
DRINKS
Theme parks, while fun and exciting, can wear a person out, especially a child, so it's important to keep hydrated. I would suggest packing one bottle of water per person (which can be kept and refilled at water fountains as necessary), and possibly a couple of cans of soda or bottles of juice as well. You can freeze the water bottles the night before and wrap the other drinks in tin foil to keep them cool.
COMMUNICATION DEVICES
It's a good idea to have at least two cell phones or even a set of "walkie-talkies" in the event that your family gets split up in the park. It's a good idea to assign one of these devices to the children and one to the parents and make sure that each of them know how to work the chosen device. This could be the difference between a crisis and a happy ending.
IDENTIFICATION
This step is imperative. I met a mother once, who was very well prepared in taking her children to Disneyland. She had an ingenious plan which entailed putting bracelets on each of her children. They resembled hospital bracelets, and had both the child's name and her name, as well as her cell phone number on each. She told me that once she had gotten separated from her 7 year old at Disneyland and because he was taught what to do in the event that this happened, he went to the nearest store and showed the lady behind the counter his bracelet and she was able to call the cell phone number and reunite him with his mother immediately. Crisis averted. In addition to this, each person should carry their own Photo ID...you can get these for children as well.
MEDICATIONS/SUNSCREEN/ETC.
Another "must have" when it comes to a day at the theme park is a small "first aid" kit. You should carry several band-aids, for cuts, scrapes or blisters. A small tube of sunscreen can be a lifesaver, and should be applied and re-applied several times throughout the day. It's also a good idea to carry some "Tylenol" (or equivalent pain reliever) as well as some "Dramamine" for those upset tummies. If you're on prescription medications, it is imperative that you bring them along and make sure that they are well identified, so that in the event something happens to you, a medic will know what medications you have taken.
In the end, you want to remember to pack "light"...don't take everything including the kitchen sink, as no one wants to carry all that extra weight, but for a family of three or four, one backpack apiece is room enough, even for those "must have" souvenirs...oh, and don't forget the CAMERA'S!
Packing List for the Grand Tour
via: some guy at the University of Michigan
When traveling abroad, one should bring:
Sheets, pillows, blankets, and towels
Pistols preferably double barreled, pocketknife, and swords
Fork, spoon, and knife- eating utensils taken along for daily purposes
Soup, tea, salt, sugar chest, tea caddy, mustard, pepper, ginger, nutmeg, oatmeal, sago, and a box of spices and condiments- the food on the Grand Tour is very different from what one is used to at home, be prepared.
Plenty of medicine including powdered bay salt for the stomach and remedies against seasickness
Pocket door bolt, usually no key or lock exists on the doors in foreign countries
The Gentlemen’s Guide in his Tour through France, Letters From Italy (1792-1798), and The Grand Tour containing an exact Description of most of the Cities, Towns, and Remarkable Places of Europe, by Thomas Nugent- three popular guidebooks referred to often when traveling.
Book of Protestant Prayers and Hymns
Notebooks, Crayons, and pocket inkstand- to record experiences and activities
Lice proof attire
Linen overall to be worn over bed clothing
Handkerchiefs
Broad brim hat
Passport holder with name, rank, and family name
Eye preservers
Waterproof buckskin breeches and at least a dozen strong shirts capable of withstanding horrendous treatment of the European washers, and any other clothing that you find appropriate. However, be sure to include at least one formal outfit.
Pocket sundial or watch
A tinder box to light a fire
Inflatable bath with bellows
Packing List for a Two Week trip to Peru
via: www.quixo.com
Packing list and tips for a “standard” 2 week vacation trip to Peru between April and November that includes travel in the highlands and on the coast and allows you to do laundry only once
Before you go, make 2 Xerox copies of your passport. Leave one at home with a trusted person you can call in a pinch; take one with you to keep on you if you want to go out without your passport.
Packing List for Adults
Undergarments (8 each) (note – I suggest including undershirts/camisoles for Lima and the highlands and long underwear if you’re doing the Inca Trail – at least for the nights)
Socks (8 pair – some should be good for hiking if that applies to you)
Travel weight pants (3-4) 1 or 2 should be respectable enough to wear to nicer restaurants, and one might be fleece if you’re doing the Inca Trail
Long sleeved shirts – cotton (or a high tech fabric that you know and like) recommended (8) (note: you may also want some short sleeves, and possibly even shorts or a skirt if you are going to the North Coast or the Nazca area)
Fleece jacket/shirt for layering (1or 2)
Gortex or similar parka-length shell or combination parka (choose one with interior breast pockets)
Sport coat or blazer (optional depending on the kind of trip/where you’ll be staying)
Hat with a good brim (in my opinion Tilley are some of the least dorky out there, although for women I like some of the new packable hats available from several sources)
Broken in walking shoes (1 or 2 pair). I like a pair of lightweight over-the-ankle hiking boots (for archaeological sites and hikes) and a decent looking pair of easy to clean rubber soled shoes or boots (for cities and museums)
1 pair of dress or semi-dressy shoes (optional depending on the kind of eating and going out you do)
1-2 outfits for going out (optional depending on your style & the kind of trip – anything from suits for fine dining to dancing duds for the disco)
Packable slippers or flip-flops
P.J.s or sleepclothes
Sunglasses and case
Camera and charger (must be compatible with 220 power- most are) or extra batteries, with extra film/cassettes or memory cards
Guidebook(s), Spanish/English Dictionary and reading material (I highly recommend reading The Conquest of the Incas or Cobo, History of the Inca Empire on the trip)
I also like gloves and hats for the highlands but I usually buy the inexpensive wool ones there
Fanny pack or small over the shoulder purse
Lightweight packable tote bag or lightweight backpack for long day trips/overnights (e.g. Machu Picchu), if applicable.
Toothbrush & toothpaste, soap, deodorant
Hairbrush, comb, hair ties
Sunscreen (enough to apply liberally twice a day in the highlands)
Moisturizing cream (for face and for body)
Shampoo & conditioner
Chapstick/lipstick with sun protection
Razors and shaving cream
Make-up other cosmetics
Medications with copies of perscriptions
Mini-First-Aid kit including bandaids, decongestant, analgesic, tweezers, first aid cream
Packing List Simulating What a Refugee Takes With Them
via: Human Rights Handbook
Overview: Simulates the emotional and practical decisions a refugee must face and their unforeseen consequences.
Time: About 10 minutes.
Materials: None.
Procedure:
1. Read/explain this scenario:
You are a teacher in ___. Your partner disappears and is later found murdered. Your name appears in a newspaper article listing suspected subversives. Later you receive a letter threatening your life for your alleged political activity. You decide you must flee. PACK YOUR BAG: you can only take five categories of things and only what you can carry. List what you would take."
2. After a few minutes, call on participants to read their lists aloud. For every list (usually 95%) that does not include the newspaper article or the threatening letter, say, "Asylum denied!"
3. Read the legal definition of a refugee. Discuss how this definition is applied in real life and why most participants were denied "asylum" because they had no proof of well-founded fear of persecution to qualify for refugee status.
4. Discuss making decisions under pressure, reasons for personal choices, emotions evoked by the decision-making process. Conclude by explaining the purpose of this activity.
