Packing Tips & Checklists Tips that might change the way you pack!
- Put a dryer sheet in the bottom of your suitcase to keep everything smelling fresh. Pack additional sheets to put in your pockets. It detracts mosquitoes. I also put a sheet in the hotel beds to keep unwanted bugs away.
- Rolling your clothes saves tons of space.
- If you have clothing that needs folding, use tissue paper to keep from wrinkling.
- Use a pill container to keep jewelry organized and to prevent tangling.
- Use a glasses case to keep loose chargers and cables organized.
- Put socks and underwear inside shoes to save space.
- Use a binder clip to protect the head of shaving razors.
- Pack your soap bar inside a wash cloth or put liquid soap in 3 oz. bottles inside a plastic zip lock bag. Put Saran Wrap inside the top of the bottle and screw on - prevents leakage.
- Extra zip lock bags have many uses: Wet clothing, anything that might leak, the other half of a sandwich you cannot eat to save for later, those sticky things, etc.
- Use those shower caps that you don't know what to do with to cover the bottom of your shoes.
- To keep your shirt collars crisp, put your belt inside the collar.
- Keep your travel-size toothpaste containers and refill them from a larger container.
- If you forget your wall plug, charge device through the USB slot on a TV.
- Bonus points - travel with a mini power strip and be the airport hero.
- On your last day in a foreign country, collect all your loose change and give it to the homeless.
- In the event of theft or misplacement, take a picture of your passport, ID, and flight itineraries and keep on your iPhone, iPad, smartphone or tablet.
- To save time at TSA, carry a large zip lock bag and put your wallet, keys, and phones in it inside your carry on. This eliminates the need for a separate bin. Faster pick up on the other side.
- Put phones and tablet or iPads on airplane mode to charge faster.
- Use travel vacuum bags in your carry-on bag. You might not need to check a bag.
- Use ATM's instead of airport currency exchanges to save money.
- As a treat to yourself, send a postcard from each day of your travels. I put numbers on them to keep them in order.
- Get Mytsa app.
- Most importantly, keep traveling - explore the world. And that means close to home as well.

I don’t mean the ads you see online, I mean someone who has been there, done that … the insider scoop!
