We have all gotten to our said destination and realized that we forgot to
pack our flip flops, our dinner outfit, or worse- our favorite bikini! These
are the rules we live by when planning for vacation. Happy packing!
1. Make a List- Writing down a
list will ensure that the clothes you want to bring are clean when you are
ready to leave and also indicates things you may have to purchase ahead of
time. Be sure to check things off as you go, as a long list will get
confusing if you don't keep track.
2. Know
Your Airline's Baggage Policy- Not only will you save
money by adhering to their weight limits, but you will save time at security. Most
importantly, the embarrassment of strangers handling your “unmentionables”
won't be an issue if you plan accordingly. 😳
3. Roll!
Roll! Roll- Valuable space is saved by rolling all of your
clothes instead of folding and stacking into your suitcase. This method also
cuts down, or virtually eliminates ironing time.
4. Don’t
Check Your Essentials or Valuables- This may be obvious- but
hang onto your passports, credit cards, identification, electronics, important jewelry,
and gifts. Remember, if it can't be easily replaced, carry it with you on the
plane.
5. Comfort
vs. Style- We don’t know about you, but exploring in high
heels aren't our thing. We suggest replacing heels with wedges, or even your
favorite pair of flats. Don't forget to pack those flowy tops and dresses so
you can enjoy vacation in luxury AND comfort.
6.
Pack Light- Bring dual-purpose
clothing and shoes. When we say dual-purpose, we mean clothing that can be
easily mixed and matched with basic layering pieces. Bring solid colors
and neutrals to save space and make outfit-planning a snap! Don’t bring a pair
of shoes for each outfit because the more you pack, the more you carry (we
learned this the hard way)! Also, if your hotel has a laundry service, you can
do a load or two when you're there and bring even less! This can be a huge
time-saver when you come home to unpack.
