7 Items to Add to Your Vacation Packing List
<meta charset="utf-8" /> <p><span>Summer is just around the corner and it is time to put together your vacation packing list. While you know all the most important things to put on the checklist like clothes, toothpaste, and passports- there are always things that we tend to forget. That is why we put together a list of 7 items to add to your vacation packing list! We promise you’ll be happy you took these items along with you.</span><span> </span></p> <p> </p> <h2><strong><span>1. A Bag with Multiple Pockets</span></strong></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>Skip stressing about where everything is on your next vacation. Go out and get yourself a bag with multiple zips and compartments to it. An example is our leather double zipper crossbody tote. While the idea of multiple pockets may seem like over doing it, take a moment to think about the benefits. What if you could have dedicated spot for your lip balm, sanitizer, phone, passport, receipts, map, or whatever else you’re taking along with you on your next adventure? It would make finding them so much easier.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>With a bag like this, there is a place for everything which leaves less of a chance for things to go missing. This small change to the way you travel will reduce your stress and lead to an overall better trip. You can shop this bag at the link below.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p><span><a title="Handbags | CellularOutfitter" href="https://www.cellularoutfitter.com/handbags-fashion-accessories.html?IZID=Blog_3028_12&utm_content=3028&utm_campaign=12&utm_creative=list" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SHOP NOW</a></span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><img title="Double Zipper Crossbody Bag for Vacation | CellularOutfitter" alt="Double Zipper Crossbody bag that is perfect to take with you on vacation!| CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_4553.jpg?15919127575513457247" width="500" data-original="050517-MothersDayBlog_07-1000.jpg" /></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <h2><strong><span>2.

A Portable Bluetooth Speaker</strong><span> </span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you’re heading anywhere near a beach or pool this summer, you definitely need to bring along a portable bluetooth speaker. This Kodiak bluetooth speaker that we offer fits well into most bags, and is loud enough so all your family or friends who are traveling with you can enjoy the music too. Even if you’re not spending time by the water, this speaker is perfect for livening up any hotel room and can be a delightful addition for your next hike or walk.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p><span><a title="Bluetooth Speaker | CellularOutfitter" href="https://www.cellularoutfitter.com/search/result?q=bluetooth%20and%20audio%20mobovida&IZID=Blog_3028_12&utm_content=3028&utm_campaign=12&utm_creative=list" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">SHOP NOW</a></span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span><img title="Portable Kodiak Bluetooth Speaker | CellularOutfitter" alt="A portable kodiak bluetooth speaker is the best thing to take with you when you're vacationing by the beach this summer | CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_4653.jpg?12596025717362059064" width="500" data-original="050517-MothersDayBlog_03-1000.jpg" /> </span> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2><strong>5. A Polaroid Camera</strong></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>If you haven’t heard just yet, polaroid cameras have made a comeback. Today, it is easy to find a modern and easy to use polaroid online or even in stores. One that we can highly recommend is <a title="FujiFilm's Instax Mini 8" href="http://www.fujifilmusa.com/products/instax/cameras/mini_8/#overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fujifilm's Instax Mini 8</a> cameras for their portability and ease of use. Now why should you take a polaroid camera on your next trip?</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>We believe it’s time to go back to the basics and not rely on only the digital copies of the photos we take. Wouldn’t you love to have a photo print for you on the spot and be ready to put into a photo album or scrap book? The revival of the polaroid camera allows you to do just that without needing too much equipment.</span></p> <p><span> <img title="Fujifilm's Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera | CellularOutfitter" alt="Fujifilm's Instax Mini 8 polaroid camera is great to take on trips because you can have instant copies of your photos! | CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_8203.jpg?10655311365617619325" width="500" data-original="050517-MothersDayBlog_13-1000_2_.jpg" /></span></p> <p> </p> <h2> </h2> <h2><strong>6. A Tablet to Pass the Time</strong></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>We always recommend taking a break from technology while you are on vacation, however there are instances where a tablet can become a lifesaver. If you have a long airplane or bus ride ahead of you, having a tablet to watch movies or play games on is a great way to pass the time. If you’re able to find a tablet that has a ‘smart’ pen with it, you would actually be able to also draw or write on the tablet as well.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>What makes a tablet so perfect is how light and portable they can be, two factors that are super important when it comes to traveling. We recommend going for a tablet that has a long battery life and a screen that is big enough so you do not strain your eyes. <a title="Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Travel Tablet" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/devices/surface-pro-4/overview" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Microsoft's Surface</a> tablet or <a title="ASUS Transformer Mini Travel Tablet" href="https://www.asus.com/us/2-in-1-PCs/ASUS-Transformer-Mini-T102HA/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Asus's Transformor Mini</a> are both great options to choose from!</span></p> <p><span> <img title="Microsoft's Surface 3 Tablet for Travel | CellularOutfitter" alt="Taking a tablet along with you on your next holiday is a great way to pass the time on an airplane or car ride! | CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_3557.jpg?1023520080723466924" width="500" data-original="050517-MothersDayBlog_02-1000.jpg" /></span></p> <h2> </h2> <h2> </h2> <h2><strong>7. Travel Apps!</strong><span> </span></h2> <p dir="ltr"><span>While this last item isn’t necessarily physical, we couldn’t stress how important it is to download some vacation apps to help you along your next trip. Two that we can highly recommend is <a title="Citymapper Desktop Application" href="https://citymapper.com/la" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Citymapper</a> and Google Translate.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Citymapper is easy to use while also fun. It offers a full detailed view and planner on how to get from one destination to another. What makes it perfect for a traveler is it will offer routes for public transport, taxi, or car. You can find the app in the<a title="Citymapper in Apple Store" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/citymapper-the-ultimate-transit-app/id469463298?mt=8">Apple App</a> store and <a title="Citymapper in Google Play Store" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citymapper.app.release&hl=en">Google Play</a>.</span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span><img title="Citymapper App Available for Apple and Android | CellularOutfitter" alt="Citymapper is the best app possible for you to find your way around a new city or country | CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_5282.jpg?11346488535432543569" width="300" data-original="IMG_2273.PNG" /></span></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span>Google Translate is perfect for translating day to day words or even signs that you may come across as you travel. This takes the fear out of traveling to a country where their language may be different. It is practical, easy to use, and it is why we recommend it for anyone traveling this summer. This app is also available in the <a title="Google Translate in Apple App Store" href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/google-translate/id414706506?mt=8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple App </a>store and <a title="Google Translate in Google Play Store" href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate&hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Play</a>. </span></p> <p dir="ltr"> <img title="Google Translate available for Apple and Android | CellularOutfitter" alt="Google Translate can be a lifesaver when traveling in a foreign country where you are not familiar with the language! | CellularOutfitter" src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2012/3181/t/1/assets/7-items-to-add-to-your-vacation-packing-list_4670.jpg?2720085289157375360" width="300" data-original="FullSizeRender.jpg" /></p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><span>That is going to wrap up our list of 7 things you should add to your vacation packing list.
