A charter bus is one of the best ways to see the United States and Canada. Bus tours can last a few hours to a couple of weeks. It’s imperative to pack the right materials for a long bus tour. Here are a few items you should take on your next adventure.

4 Items to Pack for a Multi-Day Charter Bus Tour

1. Clothing

Consider the entire trip and the weather conditions for all locales. If possible, dress in layers so you can adapt to weather changes throughout the day. A light shirt, light sweater, and water-resistant jacket will get you through most non-extreme weather scenarios.

Wear comfortable shoes. Don’t buy a new pair and expect to break it in during the trip. Your feet may be sore the next day.

To maximize suitcase space, roll the clothing instead of folding it. Stick smaller objects, like socks or underwear, inside the shoes.

2. Food

The charter company provides a list of locations where you’ll eat, but if you have special dietary needs, bring some food with you. If you suffer from low blood sugar, take some treats along for the ride so that you can snack between stops.

3. Entertainment

Phones, notebooks, and reading material are excellent ways to bypass the time during travel. If you have a portable gaming device, pack extra batteries. Ask your charter company if the seats have USB ports to charge your phone or notebook.

4. Other Essentials

If you’re traveling to Canada, bring your passport and other identification. Have some of the local currency on hand, in case smaller shops don’t accept foreign currency. Don’t forget other essentials such as medications, eyeglasses or contact lenses, and dentures.
