boat rentals, kayak rentals, and jet skis for something to do. Medical/Facilities: It's a good idea in advance to have an address list and phone contact of a local hospital and/ or medical care center for anything that comes up, and a pharmacy in case you need to get prescriptions. Don't forget to bring your necessary prescriptions with you for your trip and your medical insurance ID card in the event of an emergency. Clothing: Most vacations involve casual wear unless you need to pack a dressier outfit or two for something more formal or a special evening out. If you are going to a beach destination, of course you will want to remember the swimwear. If you are a sports enthusiast, you will need to pack the appropriate sporting gear. It's good to know what is appropriate attire for your travel spot. Groceries/Restaurants: If you plan on eating in at your vacation home, you may want to scope out how far the nearest grocery store is from your rental. I would also google the restaurants and try to find the names and locations ahead of time of my favorite picks. I prefer to eat at unique or local authentic restaurants where I cannot get the same type of food back home. Children: Bring something entertaining so that your children do not get bored during the traveling process. Also bring any necessities for infants, such as the diaper bag, bottles and supplies. Baby rental equipment
vendors are located in many resort communities, and they will often deliver larger equipment such as a baby crib, pack-n-play, and high chair to your vacation home. With airlines restrictions on weight, baby rental equipment is a real convenience for parents. Pets: If you have pets, you will need to determine whether to bring them with you, or board them. There are some vacation rentals that are pet-friendly. You would also need to check with the airlines if flying for any pet restrictions. Extra Considerations: Umbrella (for rainy days) Cap & Jacket for colder or windier days. Sunglasses, Sunblock, Caps, Water Shoes, Beach Towels for the beach A good book to read First Aid Kit Fishing, Diving or Snorkel Equipment (for those that want to use their own equipment) Watch-so you make it to your excursions on time Digital or Video Cameras to take memorable pictures.
