Holiday Packing List

So you've booked your holiday and it's only a few days away, HOW EXCITING!!!
Now you know you can't take everything with you but what do you pack and what do you leave at home?
I recently came across this post on the Telegraph website, written by Ms Soo Kim, travel writer, and thought I would share it with you. You may not need to take it all but it may just help you remember a few things to take! The electronic Plug converter is the one I always forget, I think I have about 4 in my drawer at home now!
