There’s no shortage of late-summer travel options that are enticing British Columbians, from a kitschy German village a few hours away to a five-star cruise to Hawaii.

Whether it’s two days or two weeks, a full set of toiletries are a must. Staples like toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, deodorant and skin care take up the same amount of space no matter the length of the trip.
