I’m taking off for a few days of vacation next week to visit family and friends in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. While I won’t be seeing the beach this time, there are some things I always pack for summer travel, no matter where I’m headed. Here’s my list of essentials:
1. Sunglasses
2. Cool casual clothes
3. Something slightly dressier (in case you find a nice restaurant)
4. Camera/Smartphone
5. Sunscreen

10. Rain jacket/Sweatshirt for cooler nights
