It is usually very stressful to find out that you have left something very important back home when you are already enjoying one of the Honolulu vacation packages. Even though you are heading for a much commercialized place like Honolulu, you can actually expect a lot of retail shops where you can buy almost every single thing that you need. However, Honolulu is a tourist destination and by being so, many of the products sold in this place are expensive because these are mostly imported from mainland Hawaii or from other countries. So, in order not to waste your energy trying to recover from the stress brought about by forgotten items, here is a packing list for you to follow:

1. Clothes
As a general tip, refrain from over-packing and pack lightly. You do not have to bring your entire closet with you since hotels and most Honolulu accommodation has laundry services to accommodate your laundry needs. What you should do instead is to plan your daily outfits ahead of time. Choose clothes that are versatile so that you can wear them anywhere. As a general checklist, you should include some swimsuits, sleeping wear, mini dresses, shorts and shirts. You should also bring at least one formal wear for unplanned dining invitations.

2. Footwear
The best that you can do is to consider all the possible activities that you will most likely do during your vacation so that you can bring exactly the kind of shoes needed. Shoes are bulky and it would be sure a waste of space and energy to bring shoes that will not be used. You can simply bring footwear that is multi-functional so that you need not pack much. Bring flip-flops, sandals and beach shoes. But of course, you should bring at least one pair of formal shoes in case such events come up.

3. Medicines
Before going to your vacation, inform your family doctor about your plans. Ask the doctor to arrange prescriptions if necessary and settle an emergency contact method in case you need the doctor’s help while on vacation. You should also make a short list of common ailments that you might encounter during the trip and while on vacation. Medicines for common ailments like stomach problems, headaches and allergies should be kept handy.
