Honeymoon Packing Checklist

Ready to ride off into the sunset with your new spouse? Well, before you hop aboard any planes, trains or automobiles and head for the honeymoon destination of your dreams, you’re going to have to sort out your luggage. Now, you’ll want to be prepared, but you don’t want to overpack for your vacation. Use this honeymoon packing checklist as your guide and you should be more than ready for a killer holiday without any extra stuff to drag you down.

Here is your complete honeymoon packing checklist.

These are all the things you won’t get far without. You’ll want to double check that you have all of these before you leave home or you might not even make it onto the plane.

• Credit and debit cards
• Photocopies of important documents
• List of important phone numbers (housesitter, doctor, etc.)

Carry-On Must-Haves
You’ll want to stuff your carry-on with entertaining goodies for your plane ride, plus a few essential items that may be useful in the air, at the airport or when you’re travelling from place to place. Keep in mind that you should choose a bag that’ll come in useful on your journey later on, like a backpack or tote bag (you’ll be thankful when you want to spend a day gallery hopping or at the beach).
