Travel is a fact of life, whether for business or for pleasure. Here are three steps to make your packing and unpacking much simpler and less time-consuming.

1. Make a list of all products you use throughout course of an average day. (shower gel, deodorant, shampoo, moisturizers, hair spray, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, etc).

2. Take your list with you to store and purchase one of every product on your list in a trial size. Also buy a small inexpensive hair dryer, a mini shower scrubbie and an extra small comb or brush. At same time, purchase a travel case large enough to accommodate all these new items.

3. After shopping, put a handful of cottonballs, swabs and safety pins into three separate baggies. Pack your new travel toiletries and your baggies into your travel case and keep it packed this way and stored in your luggage at all times.

4. After you return home from each trip, refill your travel size toiletries then put newly replenished bag into your suitcase until your next trip. You will never have to pack toiletries for travel, if you always keep this bag packed and ready to go at a moment's notice.

So spectacular is its coastline that many thousands of acres have been protected by National Trust, and vast tracts of land have been designated Areas of Special Scientific Interest. It is a haven for wild flowers and its indigenous wildlife attracts naturalists from far and wide - it even boasts its very own breed of sheep (Llyn Sheep).

From 5th century until Middle Ages, numerous saints and pilgrims followed holy route along Llyn's north coast, and it is steeped in early Celtic Christian history (according to legend there are 20,000 saints buried on Bardsey). Quaint country churches can be found dotted throughout region - an excellent example is St Mary's at Bryncroes, where St Mary's Well was an important stop on pilgrim's route.

Nant Gwrtheyrn, a once deserted quarrying village, now houses National Centre for Welsh Language & Culture. It is also here that you can take a pleasant amble through an area teeming with Mabinogion folklore and natural history.

The remote fishing village of Aberdaron can be found towards tip of Peninsula. Traditionally, it was last stopping place for pilgrims on their way to Bardsey. Its delightful beach has won awards and is always highly popular with families.
