Spring break necessities 

As most of you know spring break is on its way. Spring break this year will start on April 1st and end on April 9th. This is such a nice break from school that is well needed for most. Some vacations and some stay home, but no matter what you are doing, you are on break so enjoy your time off.  

For many seniors, this year’s spring break is extremely exciting. A lot of the senior class is going to Mexico or Punta Cana. Sometimes when packing for vacation you feel like you are missing something, these are all the essentials you need if you are travelling somewhere warm for spring break. 

Clothing (make sure you have options for all certain types of events you could be going to or go to last minute) 

• Bathing suits 
• Tank tops  
• Shorts 
• Underwear (Bring extra pairs just in case.) 
• Hats 
• Sunglasses 
• Socks 
• tennis shoes (People often think they will not need tennis shoes when going somewhere warm but if you are going to be walking a lot you want a comfortable pair of shoes.) 
• Flip flops  
• Sweatshirt (Sometimes at night it gets cold especially at the beach.) 
• Jewlery 
• Casual outfits 
• Fancy outfits 
• Pajamas 
• Other shoes 

Technology 

• Phone charger 
• Laptop (If you are planning to do work of any sort.) 
• Laptop charger (If you are bringing a laptop.) 
• Tablet 
• Headphones 
• Portable charger 

Plane or car ride 

• Books 
• Headphones (If you have Bluetooth headphones also bring a pair of wire headphones because a lot of airplane entertainment units use wired headphones, and they are expensive to buy on the airplane.) 
• Homework 
• Gum (Gum helps with your ears popping on the plane.) 
• Sanitizer wipes (Planes and airports are very dirty.) 
• Hand sanitizer 
• Kleenex 
• Eye Mask (You can try to fall asleep while on the plane or in the car.) 
• Neck Pillow  
• Hair clip or rubber band (Just in case you want your hair out of your face.) 
• Water 
• Snacks 
• Passport  
• Boarding pass 
• Money 
• Portable charger 
• Dramamine (In case you get motion sickness.) 
• Ear plugs 
• Deodorant (Planes make you feel gross, so it is nice to freshen up.) 
• Blanket 
• Games 

Toiletries 

• Toothbrush 
• Floss 
• Toothpaste 
• Hairbrush 
• Extra hair ties (Hair ties break really easily and it is such a pain when you do not have another one.) 
• Chapstick (Especially one with an SPF.) 
• Deodorant 
• Perfume/ cologne (This can be hard because of the 3OZ rule but if you are checking a bag, it should not be a problem.) 
• Skin care (This is different for everyone as everyone has a different skin care routine, but make sure to bring face wash and moisturizer.) 
• Extra contacts (If you wear contacts.) 
• Makeup (If you wear makeup.) 
• Shampoo and conditioner (The hotel’s shampoo and conditioners are very small and do not last long.) 
• Razor 
• Body Wash 
• Sunscreen (Bring face and body sunscreen.) 
• Body lotion 

Random 

• Tide to go stick (This is nice for if you get something on, your clothes and you do not have a washer or dryer in the hotel.) 
• Band-Aids (These are essential because you never know when you are going to get hurt, or if your shoes give you a blister you can cover it with them.)
