Things not to forget when packing for Bangladesh trip
Heading to Bangladesh in summer without an umbrella and sunscreen, visiting the country of six seasons without proper wardrobe?
With your flights and hotel booked, the luggage is the last thing stopping you from your vacation. It feels like a hard work, but if you follow some travel checklists and packing tips, you can avoid a vacation disaster.
Make a list
First of all you have to make a list to get a stress-free holiday. It sounds a little boring but separating your essentials from your desirables is the gateway to a great vacation. Moreover, you have to keep in mind your luggage limitations.
Don’t forget the first aid kit
You can keep a small bag with the most necessary pills and medicine you might need. After all, you do not want to suffer from an exhausting headache, high-climate fever, and an upset stomach during your precious holiday. It is easy enough to pick up a domestic remedy, allergy meds, and asthma remedies. In some remote areas of Saint Martin’s, Rangamati, and Bandarban, medical services are not available with-no-trouble. So, keep your own medical store in your baggage.
Observe restrictions of luggage
Weigh your bags before you get to the airport and make sure you are within the restrictions, else, you will be forced to pay extra cash at the airport or even, have to say goodbye to your favourite shirt.
Save bag space for your holiday purchases
