Every year, thousands of Americans beat the heat by heading out to vacation in dozens of travel-friendly locations across the country. What do you need to ensure a memorable trip, so that you are ready to encounter whatever you found on the road? Check your luggage with this handy list below.

1. Leggings/Shorts

You've got to be comfortable no matter where you are.

2. Dry-Erase Protest Sign

Chances are if you visit a major city, you will have to blend through the crowds somehow to get to that landmark restaurant or shop downtown.

3. Uber App

Because if you travel without an uber selfie, it didn’t happen.

4. Hipster Shades

Because people watching inside Starbucks without shades on is just creepy, man.

5. College ID

Some places get you a cool discount for admitting you are too broke to be traveling, anyways. Also, that college ID is too expensive to leave lying around at home anyways.

6. The Mayfair Instagram Filter

Makes everything you do look envious to all your followers, even if in reality you were taking that selfie next to a smelly dumpster.

7. Travel Journal

So you can log all your insecurities and close calls with the law in a confidential place that is not over the phone with your parents.

8. Your Toothbrush

Seriously, it’s like the one thing everyone always forgets anyway, and uses as an excuse to go spend $20 at Walgreens for chocolate and energy drinks.
