I love to travel to different places if I have enough time and its being planned. I have to consider what is my first thing to must have in my travel. For me it is the tooth brush and my gadgets. I would love if I can bring all my cabinet. LOL! I guess some may prefer to have their shaves for guys, shades, caps, fav shirts? Ohh it is up for you to decide what to put on your bag. But the problem maybe if you forgot something which is important when your out for travel. That your undies. Whew that is another sad story to tell.

Expenses!!! haha! I always make sure that when I travel, I should have enough money so I could enjoy my vacation. I list down the things that I should bring and the things that I don't need, anyway they can be bought anywhere. I also make sure that I have all the necessary things needed for my travel.

The first thing I think of when planning the travel is my budget because I am someone who like to travel if I have much money with me because I think this is what you have to take care of when you are abroad, then my clothes which are very essential to me. I will just take care of everthing I have to bring with me else I might continue to think If i have forgotten something which is very important.

traveling abroad extremely needs enough budget for it is really difficult to be there when you have nothing but your clothes. As an additional you have to check your documents also, passports, IDs, etc.

The first thing I'm always thinking about, when I plan a trip, is clothes. I immediately feel this need to go out and go shopping for new items for the trip! Just this past weekend I went clothes shopping for my honeymoon that is coming up next month. I definitely think of clothes, shoes, bathing suit/towel first. The toiletries and such come after that, for me!

i like to bring my cellphone and favorite toy that was given to me with my boyfriend. if one of them i forget my travel would not happy as what ive been expected. cellphone for me is my life, i can communicate to my family and love ones if im far from them. i can easily contact if there is something wrong happen in me in my travel and i can easily talk with them if im alone, or even im sad and happy. i can easily share my experiences. If my favorite toy i forget, maybe my life would paralyzed. but it is the second options i take. cellphone would be the first. hehehe. i love them both. have a nice day ahead!

the first thing that is on my mind is who i am going to travel with. i don't think i will enjoy traveling alone, i would want some companion who are dear and close to me. i will really enjoy traveling with my mom, my husband, siblings and friends.

The main thing which I think after plaaning my travel is my clothes. I always choose clothes first. I choose only that kind of clothes which are easy to wear in travel and quite comfortable. Spcially my innerwear. Because I like to wear loose type of things in journy. So always cloths first.

Hi tkleyr, I think the first thing to think of is the budget, and when all that is taken care of and I am ready to go , i will think of carrying a map,a good pair of footwear ( may be two pairs just in case?) first aid kit ,sunglasses , binoculars...i am sure there are many more things that need to be organised LOL

The first thing I put in my bag when planning a travel are religious materials such as my rosary, novena prayer booklets, my ElShaddai and Black Nazarene handkies. I prioritized religious things that would be instruments for my safe travel, aside from the prayers I have in my mind. Clothes including undies are the next things then tooth brush and toothpaste. In my shoulder bag includes the next important things, a baby powder lipstic and a cologne. What I often left a pair of slipper wherein important upon reaching your destination.

I do not plan anything while going for travel. I am a spontaneous person. When I feel like travelling; only then I travel. And I do not choose the place; the place has to choose me. And I go by bus or train or plane. I do not care where.

Know what?? When I say I'm gonna travel, the first thing I look for or plan is to put a plan and a checklist. I write down all the things that I need to carry for my trip and the first thing in the list will start from tooth paste(like that of yours). One thing that I never miss is my earings. I love earings and never step out of the house without a matching earing to my dress... I might forget to take extra dresses... but never travelled with a single earing (sounds crazy right??)

i think about the expenses first, if my money would be okay for the travel. then the next things are my luggage, of what are the first thing that is very important to bring especially my cellphones and its charger and of course, my clothes to wear, i'm make sure that i bring a lot of extra clothes, no matter how big my luggage is as long as my travelling won't be spoiled because of lacking things.

Before I am about to go on a trip I think of writing my packing list and then I go shopping for any things that I haven't already got. I buy a new travel tooth brush for example. I have to make sure I have a new pair of ear planes if I am flying. They stop me getting pain in my ears. I try to travel as lightly as possible with my luggage. I need clothing right for the climate zone I am going to. I must have my camera, memory cards and batteries. I usually take my sunglasses. If I am going to a tropical destination I need to take my swim wear and snorkeling gear.
