1. Passport if you are flying, photo id and birth certificate if you are entering and leaving by car.
2. Debit card. Get your money in pesos the local curency from ATMs
3. Some travellers cheques ($500) in case of emergency - need to go to hospital, wallet stolen
4. Photocopies of your id, debit and credit cards (Precaution only, it is not likely your wallet will be stolen if you are cautious)
5. Luggage
6. Clothing - to wear to and from Mexico and while in Mexico. If you are a wide body take extra clothes as they have only a tiny or no selection of XXL sizes.
7. Ipod, CD player, CDs and tunes for the flight and days when you get tired of listening to Mariachi and Mexican rock.
8. Books and magazines - very little in English in Mexico
9. A good pair of UV protection sunglasses.
10. Good quality sunscreen, although if you forget it, you can buy in Mexico.

It really depends on where you are going, what you are going for, and how you are getting there... different cities/towns/areas of the country require different things... but, you can buy just about anything you forget.
Things I always take:
1. Pillow (& small blanket) - sleeping on buses and planes is more comfy with your own pillow.
2. Immodium - I take this anytime I travel... you never know when your tummy won't quite agree with you.
3. International calling card - Unless you have an international calling plan on your cell phone, you will pay a FORTUNE in roaming charges for calling or receiving calls in Mexico.
4. Jacket (or sweatshirt) - This isn't necessary everywhere (such as resort towns in the middle of summer), but most places that I have been to in Mexico tend to get a little chilly at night... especially inland.
5. Some cash to exchange for pesos - Most places in Mexico (aside from department stores and international and national chain stores) still run on a cash-only basis. A lot of gas stations (even in Mexico City) still don't accept credit cards for purchases. And, for me anyway, the bank charges me ATM fees and currency conversion fees in Mexico.
6. Good shoes for walking - Keep your feet feeling good and you are more likely to enjoy your trip.
7. Ipod/book/portable entertainment - You will probably find yourself waiting somewhere for a long time with nothing to do (the airport/bus station/etc).
8. Babywipes/Wetnaps - Good for cleaning up just about anything... Wet Wipes makes a portable, individually wrapped wipe... I usually carry about 5-10 of these when I travel... just in case. You can't imagine how many times I was happy to have them.
9. A hat/cap and sunglasses - The sun can get pretty unbearable in some parts... year round.
...finally...
10. Enough room in your suitcase for souvenirs - there are a lot of cool, cheap gift available... just don't forget to claim them at customs. ;) |

It really depends on what part that you are going to! :)
They have food & water there :) There is a brand called Ceilo -something like that- its by Coca-Cola! It it by FAR the best!
Bring shirts, SHORTS!, socks, underwear, camera, SUN-TAN LOTION! Bring a sheet (fold it in half & sow it its like a light weight sleeping bag to keep the bug beds off-that is really only if you stay in a REALLY cheap Hotel) btw Motels are ONLY for ppl who want to have sex. you rent by the hour :) lol
Malaria pills -only take them sometimes because they make you REALLY depressed- BUT there is Malaria in Mexico, I got it! :( On the south-east coast! Good Luck! |
