If you've never cruised to Alaska, you may not know how it differs from any other cruise, but let me be the one to tell you that it is a very different beast. Of course, you will need many of the items on my Must Haves: Cruise Edition list, but Alaska will require a bit… more. Be sure to account for the difference in weight of your Alaskan cruise items. No one wants an overweight baggage charge at the airport. Remember, it is usually cheaper to check another suitcase (and have room for souvenirs) than it is to pay for that one overweight bag. To visit my list with all my regular cruise must-haves, click here: benable.com/jaime_with_magical_travel/must-haves-cruise-edition. Happy Travels! (Note: This is not an exhaustive packing list but rather items that are easily overlooked.)

My emergency travel kit essentials - the ever evolving list based on the emergencies you might have when on the go. Use this list as a base, and add it anything else necessary.I like to pack a little big of everything, and when inevitably someone in my party needs something, I have it, ready to go.

I'd much rather stop to take in the sights and try some good food, and not run around the city because someone all of a sudden has a headache and we don't know any of the medication brands in the country.
