Jo Lochabay “I always keep a 6-outlet power strip and an extension cord in my luggage so I never forget them while on family trips. With five family members, we require numerous outlets to charge our phones, laptops, and other devices, and most hotels seldom provide enough outlets in convenient spots.”
Jennifer Green Belshaw “Many urban hotels impose restrictions on the maximum number of guests permitted in a single room. Traveling with more than three people often requires renting multiple rooms, even when there are two beds available. On the other hand, hotels outside the city typically offer larger accommodations, although they are usually farther from major attractions. For our family of five, renting an apartment has been a fantastic solution, usually costing 25% less than a hotel with ample space to relax.”
Larissa Wilson “Choose a color palette for your journey so that all your outfits coordinate. This way, you can pack more combinations while bringing fewer individual items!”
Elena Michel “Packing your clothes in ziplock bags is a great trick. By removing the air, you can double the amount of clothing in your suitcase while avoiding extra baggage fees.”
Linda Chlapek Lytle “Photograph all your travel documents – including your passport, tickets, and itinerary – as well as your parking location at the airport. Just make sure not to misplace your phone!”
Tricia White “Avoid folding clothes! It creates excessive bulk. Instead, roll them or place them in bags.”
Suzan Dees “If your hotel has limited counter space, bring along a shoe organizer to keep everything tidy and under control.”
Karen Ingram “To maintain a fresh scent for your clothes, tuck a dryer sheet into your suitcase.”
