Everything you need for nights under the stars.
After you've booked your flight and hotel, it's time to start stocking up on the essential items you need to make your vacation memorable. We'll help you find everything you need for your out-of-town trip.
It's impossible to predict what will happen on the way to your destination, especially around meal time.. Flights get delayed. Traffic backs up on the highway. None of the restaurants or snack bars serve foods that fit your dietary restrictions. That's when it helps to have your own snacks on hand. Choose options that don't require refrigeration and are easy to eat on the go, like crackers with tuna, fruit and nut bars and cookies. Check out kid-friendly favorites like cookies and granola bars. The wait is easier when your stomach feels satisfied.
A good book is an important vacation accessory that provides entertainment everywhere you go. It goes through security without delay and doesn't require batteries or an Internet connection. The perfect vacation book is easy to follow so you can pick up where you left off between dozing off by the pool or going off on nearby adventures. Look for novels from your favorite authors, pick up the latest title everyone's been raving about or take your chances with something new. As you browse the selection of books, consider the size of the book and the print. You want a book that you can easily carry and has print large enough for you to read without straining your eyes.
Whether you're a seasoned traveler who vacations several times a year or are preparing for your first out-of-town trip, you need luggage to haul your clothes and other necessities. You can buy single pieces or choose a matching set with multiple sizes for checked and carry-on luggage. Look for luggage with handles and wheels so you can easily stroll through airports and hotels. Choose brightly colored pieces with bold prints that so you can quickly find your luggage in baggage claim, or opt for classic black or navy blue. Pick a hardshell cover for maximum protector, or select softshell bags that fit in any overhead bin.
Don't take up valuable luggage space with large bottles of your toiletries. Pick up travel size containers of essential personal care items like shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream and toothpaste. The compact size makes them easy to stash in your suitcase, and most of these items meet TSA requirements so you can pack them in your carry-on luggage. You can shop for individual products or check out travel kits with a selection of the most commonly used toiletries for men or women.
When you travel with a baby, you need travel gear specifically designed for the little ones. Check out the selection of strollers that keep your baby or toddler safely strapped in as you navigate the lines at the airport and go exploring in your vacation destination. Choose travel bags with compartments to hold necessities like diapers, wipes, spare clothing and snacks. You can pick up carriers to hold your baby as you walk around and portable beds so they never feel like they're far away from home.
Get into complete vacation mode with a new wardrobe. If you're heading to a tropical paradise, stock up on shorts, tanks and dresses that keep you cool during humid afternoons. Pick up beach gear, including sunglasses, floppy hats and swimsuits for soaking up the sun. Choose comfortable shoes with supportive soles perfect for long walks through town. When you feel better, you relax more and get the most out of your vacation.
Vacation is an escape from your everyday life, but that doesn't mean you have to completely cut the cord while you're out of town. Consider bringing an e-reader that you can load with multiple books and magazines so you never run out of reading material. Pick up noise-cancelling earbuds or headphones to block out the sounds of other travelers. Select a mobile hotspot device to ensure you have Internet access no matter where your journey takes you. Upgrade your camera and bring home impressive photos of your adventures.
