Traveling to Hawaii can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to packing. From toiletries to tech gear, there are so many items to consider. To make your packing process easier, here are 20 items to consider packing for your next trip to Hawaii.
#1: Travel Alarm Clock
#2: Travel beverage container
#3: Mesh tote bag
Mesh bags are great for organizing your personal items. They come in a variety of colors and have a small pocket on the front and a larger mesh compartment. This makes it easy to find what you need without having to dig through your bag.
#4: Bag Organizer
#5: Mini legal notepad
A fluorescent yellow notepad is a great way to stay organized while traveling. It’s perfect for jotting down notes, ideas, and reminders. Plus, it’s small enough to fit in your travel bag.
#6: Mesh Organizers
#7: Small Medicine Pouch
A medicine pouch is a must-have for any trip. Fill it with over-the-counter medications such as Advil, Tylenol, Pepto, vitamins, and ginger pills. This way, you’ll always have access to medication if you need it.
#8: Planner (Passion Planner; Inkwell Press)
A planner is a great way to stay organized while traveling. Use a regular planner to plan out your days and weeks, or create a one-page vacation planner to keep all your ideas in one place. This way, you won’t have to waste time looking for something to do.
#9: Clear Bags (great for organizing tech gear)
If you’re traveling with tech gear, it’s important to keep it organized. Use clear bags to store your camera gear, mics, and cords. This way, you’ll always have easy access to your gear.
#10: Unscented Lotion
Airplanes can be a small space, so it’s important to be considerate of others. Use unscented body lotion to keep your skin moisturized without disturbing anyone.
#11: Travel Bottles set 16ct
A toiletry bag is a great way to keep your toiletries organized. Look for one that has refillable containers and labels so you can customize it to your needs. This way, you won’t have to buy single-use items over and over.
#12: BEST Travel Speaker
A waterproof speaker is a great way to make getting ready with your friends more fun. It’s small and easy to pack, and it’s rechargeable. Plus, not all hotel rooms are equipped with speakers, so having one of these is a must.
#13: Packing Cubes
#14: Car charger for iPhone
Not all cars have built-in chargers, so it’s important to have a car USB charger on hand. This way, you’ll always have a way to charge your phone.
#15: Drink mix
Powdered drink mixes are great for traveling. They’re light and easy to carry, and all you have to do is add water. This is perfect for when you haven’t adjusted to the time change yet and need an energy boost.
#16: Yes to Coconuts
The Yes to Coconuts Moisturizing Stick is an all-purpose product that’s perfect for traveling. It has the same consistency as a chapstick or lip balm and is great for moisturizing your skin.
#17: Sleep mask & ear plugs
Sleep masks and ear plugs are a must-have for any trip. They’re great for blocking out noise and making sure everyone gets the sleep they need.
#18: Face cloths
Olay face cloths are perfect for traveling. They’re like a built-in washcloth and have scrubbers on them. They’re great for removing sunscreen and keeping your face clean.
#19: Travel Blanket / Sarong
A blanket or cover-up is great for long haul flights. Look for a giant sweater that doubles as a blanket. This way, you can carry it on the plane without having to put it in your carry-on. Or, you can even use a sarong which doubles as a travel blanket!
#20: Clear Bag
Clear bags are perfect for security-sensitive places like Pearl Harbor. They’re also great for packing videos and other items that need to be kept secure.
