Traveling with Sports Equipment When Planning a Vacation

"Hi! I’m Stephanie Phillips with expertvillage.com. We’re going to talk about trip activity. Alright, you’ve decided you’re going and you’ve decided there’s a whole lot of things you want to do. Here’s a perfect example, you’re going skiing. What kind of equipment do you need? You need ski boots. You need skis. You need the right kind of clothing. Well, are you going to take it with you or are you going to rent it when you get there. Carrying skis on a plane can be pain in the neck. Are you going someplace where you need lots of equipment? Are you going golfing? If you’re going golfing for a weekend, maybe it’s just best to rent the golf clubs when you get there. If you’re going on a golfing vacation for 2 weeks, take your clubs, you’re going to be golfing everyday. Also your mode of transportation. Are you going by plane? What are you doing that you’re going to have to carry the equipment on if you’re going by car or if you’re going by train. The activities that you’re going to do on a trip determine what kind of equipment you’re going to need, even if it’s just a comfortable pair of walking shoes."
