Printable Travel Checklist and Packing List
- June 21, 2009 by Fox | Comments: 19
It’s that time of year when individuals and families plan for travel, holidays, and vacation. Whether you’re planning to get away for a romantic weekend with your partner or take the kids on a family vacation, chances are you’ll need to pack for your trip.
Packing for a trip can be a pain, especially when you’re on the plane in a panic because you’ve forgotten something important. And leaving behind an essential item like your visa or passport can cost you. So to help you get away with more fun and less pain, I’ve put together the Free Printable Travel Checklist and Packing List. It’s a three-page pre-travel checklist and packing list all rolled into one.
The Printable Travel Checklist and Packing List will help to:
- Create a pre-travel checklist.
- Prepare your home for short and longer vacations.
- Deal with vaccinations and health issues before travel.
- Get the travel documents you need for your destination.
- Create a packing list for yourself and your kids.
- Prevent forgetting stuff while away on holiday.
- Not get caught without your underwear.
Now, packing clothes so they don’t wrinkle is something I’m leaving up to you. 
Did I forget to pack something important? What’s on your travel checklist or packing list?

Your Two Cents:
That is indeed a comprehensive list! I suppose it depends on the type of vacation you’re going on, since I’ve never packed many of those things.
To add to your list:
I’d also recommend checking the zippers of your purse/briefcase/backpack before leaving. I was at the US consulate in the Netherlands, where I met this couple whose passports had been lost because of insecure holding places. Talk about a PITA…
I’m also starting the question the wisdom of carrying any personal hygiene stuff with you. I mean, obviously, carry a toothbrush. But with the airline restrictions, it may be wiser to just buy a small traveler’s kit when you get there.
If you take prescription meds: DO NOT FORGET YOUR PRESCRIPTION! Maybe it won’t be a problem, but the airport of Kuala Lumpur is not where you want to find out that yes, it is in fact a problem
Along the veins of electronics: if you’re travelling internationally, you will need an outlet adaptor. These are cheap. You may also need a voltage converter. These are not. Voltage converters, IME, are necessary for things without a their own power monitor.
Check the rules of flying with the airline well in advance.
And don’t forget a good book!
Very helpful. We created out own but will have to check it against your list.
Great list! I will definitely use this list next time I travel.
I love it! Can you share an editable version?
Cool!I guess you may develop the idea ,it’s sounds good,you may write a good guide about the subject,why not…
cool idea, you may work on it, and make a guide about this, well done.
Awesome idea! I always make a million lists when I’m traveling, haha. This is useful.
***ATTENTION***
You said in your post that your list will help to “not get caught without your underwear.” But on page 2 in the women’s clothing section, you have bras listed, BUT you don’t have women’s underwear listed…. Was this left off by mistake or Kerry, are you encouraging all women to start going commando while on vacation? I personally think that you should for-go the bras as well while on vacation.
P.S. I personally would add condoms to the travel list (for your single or married/promiscuous readers). You never know what bugs the local cuisines may come with.
@FupDuckTV Undies are listed under the “General Clothing” heading. Condoms are listed under “Health & Medications”. Both are important! I’d never leave home without my bra.

that’s great Kerry.. helps to remind some of the things one may forget.. Just got back from a vacation in Montreal with hubby.. it was great and I was happy to be prepared with everything. Something that I do when I travel is pack half of my clothing in another suitcase. That way if one suitcase goes missing, I am not stuck with no clothes. By packing half and half of mine and hubby’s clothing, we’ll be okay if one luggage goes awol. Hasn’t happened yet but just in case!
If one is going by car or RV, then I would recommend a long list of car prep also – such as the fluids/tires/coolers, etc.
Very helpful. This is useful.
I love it, I have been looking for a list and this one is great. Thank you so very much.
