I
couldn’t find a vacation packing checklist that suited me on the
internet so I compiled my own. I’ve included just the generic
portion of my full list. I have more specialized lists for things
like ski trips, scuba trips and such which I will post at a later date
if anyone is interested. Comments are welcome.
