What to Pack for Your Vacation

Whether you prefer to travel lightly this summer, or you take pleasure in cramming everything except the kitchen sink into your suitcase, there are probably a few items you simply can't go without while you're on the road. Learn your Sun sign's vacation essentials to ensure you've got what you need for your best possible holiday!

Aries
You need to constantly be on the go throughout your trip, so make sure you bring along all your sports essentials -- hiking boots, your favorite running outfit, etc. -- that you'll need to keep yourself happily active.

Taurus
You'll want to pack your most comfortable shoes ... and your credit cards! Why? Because as a Taurus, the stars confirm that you'll be doing one of two things while on vacation: walking and shopping!

Gemini
There's no doubt you'll need to have some way to stay in frequent touch with friends and anyone else you talk with on a daily basis, so definitely don't leave home without your laptop or mobile phone.

Cancer
A good night's sleep and your wonderful dream world are crucial to you, no matter where you travel; also, unfamiliar foods can sometimes upset your stomach. Take precautions against each of these potential pitfalls by packing your favorite pillow, as well as some comforting snacks.

Leo
You always want to know you're looking your best everywhere you go ... and that everyone else sees you looking great as well. So, of course, your truly essential travel items are a good mirror and a camera!

Virgo
You only become uncomfortable on the road when you aren't able to keep yourself as clean as you like. Counteract this by packing any favorite personal hygiene items you'll likely want to have with you.

Libra
You'll surely want to dress in a new outfit at every stop on your itinerary, so be sure to bring all the clothes and makeup you'll need to keep your beautiful and stylish reputation fresh on a daily basis!

Scorpio
You prefer to travel a bit incognito, while also enjoying the chance to dive deeply into yourself while on vacation. A journal and any type of disguise -- even just a fun hat and a pair of oversize sunglasses -- are essential items for your suitcase.

Sagittarius
Guidebooks are the most important items you can pack, as you'll enjoy learning everything you can about the places you visit. You'll also want to bring any supplies you'll need to enjoy the wild adventures on which you thrive ... even if it's only just a compass and map.

Capricorn
It's difficult for you to relax day after day, so consider toting along a light work project you can turn your attention to when all the rest and relaxation of vacation gets to be a little too much.

Aquarius
Leaving behind your bank of high-tech gadgets could be difficult for you, so be sure to pack a few that will help your vacation run more smoothly. Start with the latest and greatest GPS tool on the market!

Pisces
In order for you to enjoy a break from your everyday routine, it's important to have some of your favorite music on hand. Make yourself an MP3 mix to match your travels -- if you're heading to Spain, for example, include some flamenco music. Do this and you'll enjoy your time away even more!
