Eric Maryniak - Vacation checklist (English / Engels) - Nostalgia


This is the English version of my nostalgic vacation checklist.
There is also a "Vacation checklist (Dutch / Nederlands) - Nostalgie".

>>> For travels in the present...
>>> use the => up-to-date Vacation checklist (English / Engels) ;-)


So, this a nostalgic vacation checklist dating from the 1990s.
Therefore, a lot of the information below may be outdated or just plainly wrong!
With that warning sign noted, enjoy...

English is not my native tongue, so please do not hesitate to send me corrections (e-mail address is below).

This vacation checklist is meant to be as general as possible (better too much than sorry).
There is a small emphasis on backpacking in the tropics.

While not strictly related, my "Verhuis checklist" (Move house checklist) may also come in handy (available in Dutch only).

Please don't hesitate to mail additions to this list to me!
And yes, I know there is such a beastie called a table, but I like to keep my pages as standard and minimalist as possible ("standard" being 2.0 and only 3.2 thingies like background and such). You'll be surprised at the number of pre 2.7 Lynx and Netscape pre 4 users passing by on the web servers I've maintained the last five years.

These phone numbers from the Netherlands may be handy (Dutch); always verify if they are up-to-date prior to your journey:
