Packing Tips For Your Gatlinburg Vacation

Packing for a family vacation is often as stressful as where to stay while on vacation. Often you’ll find yourself wondering how much to pack, what the weather will be like, how many outfits, what if you forget something, etc. We understand your pain. Hopefully we can help ease some of your stress.

Below are some tips we have compiled to help you better prepare yourself for your vacation in Gatlinburg TN.

Pack in advance. Waiting until the last minute to pack things can result in forgetting much needed/wanted items.

Keep a list of what you have packed. Not only will this help you look over and see what you’ve missed but it also in beneficial when it comes time to pack up and head home.

Put medications and toiletries in baggies. Medications will then be in one central place instead of all over your bag. Toiletries such as liquid soap, shampoo, etc. always seem to leak out onto your favorite shirt so putting them in bags can prevent that from happening.

Get your accessories together. You don’t want to leave home without your belts, shoes, jewelry, etc.

Don’t put all your cash in one spot. Losing your wallet is bad enough but losing your wallet with all your money it in would be worse. Stuff some money in each of your luggage bags for safety reasons.

Don’t over pack but don’t under pack either. Don’t take your whole closet. Pack two outfits more than what you need just in case.

Be prepared for the weather. Just because you can wear shorts where you are doesn’t mean you will be able to where you’re vacationing. This is especially true when traveling to higher elevations in the mountains.

Have your reservation information. Be sure you have the directions to where you’re going and all necessary information for checking in.
