Traveling to Sequoia National Park

Now that you have made your Sequoia National Park Reservations you need to start planning on packing for the trip. One of the worries many people have when they go on vacation is keeping their valuables safe. There are some basics that most people are aware of like keeping valuables at home, but what else can you do to protect your valuables?

Don't pack valuable, perishable, and fragile altogether, but if you must take them, they will be safer in your carry-on bag or a bag you tote with you into the room.

Avoid taking luggage with flashy brand names, as it will make them more attractive to thieves.

Avoid carrying your laptop in a bag that lets everyone know you are carrying expensive electronics.

Use the locks on your luggage.

Clearly label your luggage on both the inside and outside of your bags.

Place a trip itinerary in your luggage so your bags can easily be returned to you.

Place a unique bright marking on your luggage so you can easily identify it. This way others will recognize that their similar looking bag did not have the markings and leave yours alone.

Switch some of your items with those of a traveling companion. That way if your bags go missing, you'll still have some items with you.

Cover your hands when you are entering ATM or phone card numbers so others can't copy them down and use them.

Carry a list of all your items in your carry-on and leave one at home, to help you make a complete claim form if your items go missing. Carry a copy of the final list in your carry-on bags, you'll be able to use it to fill out claim forms with the airline if they lose your luggage.

Consider purchasing trip insurance that offers protection for your property.
