- Make a packing list. Start planning your packing days or even weeks before your trip. This gives you time to perfect your list.
- Don't pack for the worst-case scenario. Pack for the best-case scenario and simply buy yourself out of any jams. (Rick Steves)
- Whether you're traveling for three weeks or three months, pack exactly the same.
- Limit to 20 pounds unless your renting a car or a vacation rental for an extended stay.
- Pack lightweight, versatile, washable clothing such as Ex-Officio Travel Wear
- Choose lightweight black clothing. It can easily be dressed up or down anfd is great at hiding the dirt.
- However, for the summer or hot climates the clothing is usually light weight. Choose bright colors or white. You don't want to look like your going to a funeral!
- Use only travel size bottled toiletries. If you are settling into a vacation rental, you can buy bigger bottles at your destination.
- Bring only 2 pairs of shoes (make sure they are comfortable). Pack one pair and wear the other.
- Wear or carry a versatile coat and don't pack any additional ones.
- Bring jewelry and scarves to mix-up your wardrobe (if you must.)
- Roll, don't fold. Tightly rolled clothes take up less space than folded ones. You'll also avoid deep wrinkles from fold creases.
- To keep your clothes tightly packed and well organized, zip them up in packing cubes or a Clothes Compressor.
