But before setting off it is important to check a few details that we don\u2019t always take into account and yet are important. And that\u2019s why we would recommend you write down a list of things to prepare and to take with you.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The big question: what should my luggage be like?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If you have to choose between bag, rucksack or suitcase, choose a <strong>case with wheels<\/strong>, whatever the format (hard or soft). In general, if you want to take your case on board as hand luggage the maximum size is <strong>56 x 45 x 25cm<\/strong> (including the wheels), with a weight of between <strong>10 kg and 20 kg<\/strong> (depending on the company and type of flight).<\/p>\n<p>If you prefer to check your luggage in, there tend to be <strong>less size restrictions<\/strong>, although weight limits remain, with <strong>anything over 20kg<\/strong> per case carrying a <strong>surcharge<\/strong> (<a title=\"Blog eDreams tama\u00f1os de equipajes \" href=\"http:\/\/blog.edreams.es\/tamanos-de-equipajes-segun-la-compania-aerea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow\">as always, this depends on the company)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As a final touch, attach a <strong>label<\/strong> to your case with your contact details, and even a <strong>sticker<\/strong> or <strong>ribbon<\/strong> to help it stand out.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 68%; position: relative;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"giphy-embed\" style=\"position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/xT5LMXS7f6IlAqhB6w\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/thehills-xT5LMXS7f6IlAqhB6w\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What to pack in your case?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>First of all, make a list of everything you want to take with you, as this will help you to check that you\u2019ve packed everything you need. When making your list, bear in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Where you\u2019re going<\/li>\n<li>The time of year<\/li>\n<li>The length of the trip<\/li>\n<li>The type of accommodation<\/li>\n<li>The type of trip and activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"width:100%;height:0;padding-bottom:75%;position:relative;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/VR4Xdxj5MXDna\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" style=\"position:absolute\" frameBorder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/VR4Xdxj5MXDna\">via GIPHY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Depending on these points you should take into account certain aspects; not just clothes, but also, for example, electric adapters, a spare charger, and medical supplies and so on. With regards to clothes, bear in mind:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re going to a summer destination, pack <strong>t-shirts and shorts<\/strong>, as well as a pair of <strong>swimming costumes<\/strong>,<strong> a baseball cap<\/strong> or <strong>sun hat<\/strong>, and <strong>standardised<\/strong> <strong>sunglasses<\/strong> (accredited with the CE mark).<\/li>\n<li>Depending on geographic location and altitude, it may be advisable to take <strong>warm clothes<\/strong> for cool nights.<\/li>\n<li>Add a light <strong>shawl<\/strong> to protect you from the cold and which also help you to get in to places where you can\u2019t go with bare arms.<\/li>\n<li>If there is a risk of mosquito bites due to heat and high humidity, choose clothes made of <strong>linen<\/strong> and <strong>cotton<\/strong>, and both <strong>long-sleeved shirts and trousers<\/strong> to cover the majority of your body.<\/li>\n<li>One of the most common dilemmas is: what shoes should I take? Think about the type of activities you\u2019re going to be doing, but always pack <strong>flip-flops<\/strong>, <strong>sports shoes<\/strong>, and either <strong>smart shoes<\/strong> or <strong>walking boots<\/strong>. Remember to break your shoes in first! Don\u2019t risk taking shoes you\u2019ve never worn.<\/li>\n<li>With regard to articles of personal hygiene and toiletries, it\u2019s always a good idea to take a little bottle of <strong>shower gel<\/strong> and another of <strong>shampoo<\/strong>, just in case there isn\u2019t any where you\u2019re staying, along with your <strong>toothbrush<\/strong> and <strong>toothpaste<\/strong>. Take small containers of your own <strong>body cream<\/strong> and <strong>perfume<\/strong> to keep you company. And don\u2019t forget a high-factor sun cream and, if necessary, mosquito repellent.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re going to check your luggage in you won\u2019t have any problem with liquids, but if not then remember that you can only take on board a maximum of 100ml.

You can even take a little rucksack with all your <strong>documents<\/strong>, <strong>money<\/strong> (always divide it up between several places), a <strong>novel<\/strong> or <strong>book of puzzles<\/strong> and a <strong>change of clothes<\/strong> for one or two days<\/li>\n<li>To optimize space <strong>roll up your clothes<\/strong>; like that you\u2019ll save space and it\u2019ll get less creased.<\/li>\n<li>Leave <strong>20% of the space empty<\/strong> so you can bring back souvenirs and gifts, but arrange it all to try to <strong>take up all the space<\/strong> in your luggage.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Pack the more breakable items in the hard sides of the case (avoid the middle areas as these get more squashed when cases are piled up), in such a way that they cannot move, and wrap them in <strong>bubble wrap<\/strong> or in items of <strong>clothing<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>And last of all, don\u2019t forget to <strong>unwind<\/strong> and <strong>enjoy<\/strong> your holidays.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With July upon us, more than a few of us are busy packing our suitcases.
