What to pack for an international trip?

Updated: Nov 11, 2022

A while back I wrote packing lists for Bahamas or Antarctica but now that all the boarders are open and people are traveling more and more, I want to re-create my packing list for a more general international trip. Here is the list of items to pack for an international family trip (2 adults and 2 kids, in my case).


1. Passports & Covid vaccination cards


2. Credit cards and/or cash (call credit cards if needed ahead of time to make sure it does not get declined)


3. Snacks/Food for the plane and for the hotel


4. Empty water bottles (to be filled at the airport)


5. first aid kit (some emergency pills/medicine, emergen-c and band aids)


6. kid's devices & phones & chargers


7. games/books (audibles too), movie downloads


8. sunblock for the sun or chapstick for the cold


9. bug repellent and anti-itch cream (we always seem to need this with the kids)


10. sanitizer or wipes


11. tooth brush


12. hair brush or comb


13. toiletries (deodorant, hair supplies, make up, shampoo, conditioner, face soap, shaving items, tooth paste)
