::
Pack whatever you plan to take
then put half of it back.
(Most people tend to take far
more clothing than is really
necessary)
::
Pack with confidence.
:: Pack clothes which are
complimentary with each other
and can be used in combination
to make different outfits.
:: When traveling with a
companion. Pack one of your
outfits in your companion's
suitcase and have him/her do
likewise. Doing this will be
invaluable should one person's
bag be delayed upon arrival at
your destination. (If both are
lost, oh well, at least you
tried your best)
:: Bring a raincoat. A travel
raincoat takes up very little
space and can be a
lifesaver...should it rain of
course.
:: Try to pack clothes with
fabrics that require little
care (wrinkle-free)
(cotton-knit etc..)
:: Pack a change of clothes in a
carry-on piece of luggage in
the event that you make it to
your destination but your
checked luggage ends up
somewhere far away.
:: Try to visualize what
clothes you will need on
a particular trip (with
regard to climate,
events you will attend
etc...)
:: Toiletries-don't bring
full sized bottles,
bring mini-bottles or
sample sizes to conserve
space.
::
Wrap toiletries (etc.) in plastic in the event that items may
break or leak and use plastic containers
