Essential Items

Be prepared, and plan for the season. Allow for changes in weather. One of the most important 'essentials' when we travel, is the photographic equipment.. so make sure you pack the camera.. and if it's not a digital, lots of film. Spare batteries, and whatever else you need to capture those memories.
