It's time to pack your suitcase (almost anyway)

Pack your suitcase and let’s go!

St. Augustine said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”. He means there is so much more to see and learn by traveling. Make sure you pack only the  essential items in your suitcase. Remember, the weight limit is 23kg and you want to leave space to bring gifts and souvenirs home.  It is imperative that you bring personal toiletries, clothes, comfortable shoes and of course a camera to capture the memories. Some toiletries include a toothbrush, toothpaste, a hairbrush, soap and a razor. Clothing items to pack include jeans, shorts, t-shirts, camisoles, socks, a formal item such as a dress for women and a pair of slacks and a polo t-shirt for men (because you might want to dress up for dinner some times). Don't forget your underwea!. Check the weather before you pack. It will be cooler in the States than here.   You will need a coat or jacket and a sweater or a sweatshirt. Pack your spending money and your passportin a safe placeAfter you finish packing your suitcase, you are set and ready to go!
