The weather is absolutely dreadful at the moment, so if work commitments allow and you are not tied down to school holidays, maybe you are considering escaping for a brief holiday?

This might be a first venture onto the ski slopes in the Alps, or even the USA, or you might be off to the sun (or just less cold and windy weather) of the Canaries, Cyrpus or mainland Spain. However, what do you need to take with you and have you got everything ready to go?

This is a big problem and an even bigger problem if you turn up on the slopes only to find that something important has been left off the travel checklist. So that is where the My Travel Checklist service from Mondial might just come in extremely useful.

The idea is extremely simple. A few button clicks and you have indicated whether you are a young couple, a family, retired sun seekers or whatever. You also indicate where you are going and then are provided with a list of suggested items to pack. This list can be accessed via your computer, mobile phone or whatever you like to make sure that you take everything away with you.
