Travel Essentials - What Should You Pack?
Tips for safe and comfortable travels

Wheeled suitcase. No more backaches and strained muscle

Daypack. You need something to carry maps, snacks, and bottled water while you explore

Comfortable shoes. Leave the high heels and beach sandals at home

Personal toiletries/medications/glasses. You will need to bring small, 3 ounce bottles of liquids and gels if traveling by air. Carry prescription medicines in their original bottles (not a weekly pill organizer) for identification purposes. Don’t forget your glasses (and a spare would be a good idea)!

Rain Gear. Collapsible umbrella, water repellent jacket, poncho, folding hat.

Sun Gear. Sun block, collapsible hat, sunglasses and coverups for sensitive skin.

Travel Alarm. Helpful for those early-morning departures.

Backup Documents. Make copies of your passport and tickets and keep safely in your luggage. Leave a second copy with family members. Also bring numbers for your bank, credit card company, travel insurance, and travel agency in case you need to contact them.

Identification. In addition to the luggage tags provided by Shebby Lee Tours, place a card with your home address and contact information inside each bag.

"[The tour] was by far the most enjoyable trip we ever took. The history, the scenery, the adventures we encountered were all astounding and fun. We have done a lot of travelling, but this trip was by far the most memorable."
