You’re going crazy packing your luggage because the island vacation you’ve been planning is finally going to happen. It seems like you have way more stuff than your luggage can handle. How are you going to get everything packed without sacrificing essentials?
A lot of us have the idea that we’re good at packing our luggage with clothes. But did you know clothes won’t come out as wrinkled if they are rolled instead of folded? This also creates more packing room in your luggage. Your being smart if you color-coordinate because you’ll be bringing less. What you can do is try to coordinate your tops with your pants and shoes and even hats. If you plan these items to not only coordinate within each outfit but also to mix and match with each other, you’d be amazed at how lightly you can pack. If you want to protect your shoes, slip a sock over each shoe and pack small items inside each of them.
It’s important to put your phone number and return address to the electronics that you’re packing in your luggage like camcorders and cameras. Before you pack your kids’ luggage, on the insides of their clothing write your phone number and name. This way, the authorities can contact you if they are lost.
It’s also smart to create an emergency information file which would include account numbers, passwords, etc. and pack it into your carry-on luggage. You can save it on a flash drive or disk and write-protect the document afterwards.
Your essential medications and other things you may need should be packed in your carry-on luggage. High energy food like power bars, copy of your passport, a change of underwear, and some reading materials should also be included in your carry-on luggage.
Itemize the items in your luggage on a written list and take pictures of your luggage after it’s packed, this is proof that it’s your luggage. If your luggage is stolen you can prove what you packed. You should also put these in your carry-on luggage.
When traveling far away, you’ll probably spend a good deal of time reading. When you’re done with the magazines you’ve brought, you can leave it behind for someone else. Your carry-on load will considerably lighten if you do this. Save book reading for later on in the trip and if there’s room in your luggage pack finished books into your luggage to further reduce your carry-on burden.
