Holiday Travels: Packing Tips

The holidays are a great time to travel, if you have the funds. Here are some of my tips for travelling:

•  Pack light. Lay your outfits out before you pack them. For ladies, I recommend packing a pair of leggings as they are comfortable.
•  Most of your items should fit in one luggage bag (26” luggage or smaller) if you are vacationing for 5-10 days.
• Use a carry on to for light  items as well as a pair of spare clothing/underwear just in case something happens to your luggage or it gets lost.

 

• Use travel size bottles and pack in a clear bag/Ziploc bag.  I like to use 3 regular size bags and place them inside a large gallon size Ziploc bag. I break them down into the following:
• Shower items  i.e. (shampoo, soap)
•   Hair items (hair ties, clips,  hair products)
• Makeup items
•  Place this bag in your carry on for easy removal at the TSA checkpoint. 
•   Bring snacks like granola bars
• Bring reading material!! Electronics can only last so long on a long trip. 
•  Use this  Travel Checklist to ensure that you packed everything that you need.
