Your goal is simple: To visit Pampanga Philippines without bringing unnecessary things. Definitely can, right? However, there are still some of you here that are struggling on what things to bring? And how sure are you that all the things you want to include are all useful? Packing is a simple thing to do, but what to pack makes it difficult on our end.

Traveling is a form of recreation. And you definitely can't enjoy your Christmas vacation when you got so many things to bring with you. Bringing things that are not that useful will just kill the excitement and fun. There are also times that we end up bringing the things that are not that useful than the ones that are very useful to us. Perhaps, it is because we don't know how and what to pack. Or perhaps, there is no time to think about it anymore.

Not bringing the things that you will need might cause you to regret it later on. That is why, you have to make sure that you know the things that you need and what's not important for you to bring such as:

Bringing your entire beauty routine

If you are used to using 5 beauty products every day, then make this time as an exemption. It would definitely not hurt if you're not going to bring straightener or curler for days or weeks. Trust me, you will still going to look good even with your beach hair. Moreover, if the hotel that you are staying offers toiletries, make use of them. Don't bring your own big bottle of shampoo and conditioner; it will only make your luggage heavier. However, if the hotel does not offer toiletries (which I doubt), then you might bring a small amount of both, or a sachet will do.

Bringing clothes more than you need

This is the part where we usually tend to have a hard time thinking and choosing on what clothes we are going to wear in a specific day. Well, if you are going to a beach, then you definitely don't bring your formal clothes (common sense). And for you not to overload it with your favourite beach wear, you have to decide on what kind of swimwear should you bring that is intended for that particular day. For instance, if you are planning to have your vacation in the beach for 3 days, then you should also bring 3 swim wears – make it 4 for any case of emergencies.

Bringing your jewelry and valuables

If you can't leave without your expensive necklace, you better leave it at home. I'm sure you don't want someone will steal it from you, right? I believe you are on your way for a vacation and not for a fashion show where you need to wear your expensive and imported necklace. Also, tourists are common targets for thieves, and luggage often gets lost in transit. That is why, you have to be very careful when it comes to your valuables. You better leave those things behind than being forever lost to the hands of other people.

Bringing too many gadgets

Bringing too many gadgets is definitely a no-no. These things might be useful to you, however I believe that there's no need for you to use those gadgets all at once. remember, you are going on a vacation, you can use all your gadgets at home. Also, bringing too many gadgets is definitely an apple to the eyes of the thieves. However, if you are a kind of person who just can't sleep without his/her gadget, then you should pick the ones that are important to your trip such as your cellphone, laptop and/or camera.

Bringing more than one guidebook

Guidebooks are important, especially when you are new to the places in Pampanga. However, bringing a guidebook for tourist visiting the other side of the country is definitely not applicable to your current situation. And bringing such is definitely one of the reasons why your luggage is heavy. 

Christmas vacation would definitely be fun when you know what to pack. And if you are just keen when it comes to the things that are useful or not, then you will definitely know what and what not to pack. Christmas is already in the air! Enjoy your Christmas vacation!
