Loading ...TRAVEL ADVICE - 10 PACKING TIPS
For everyone lucky enough to be packing their suitcase and heading off on holiday or business here are ten packing tips:
1. I am not going to tell you to pack tissue paper between everything, who on earth has the time for that. Just buy crease resistant clothing wherever possible or purposely creased fabric or linen.
2. Check the weather for your destination using the Internet. You can get info for a week ahead.
3. Once you have a fairly good idea of the weather you can take the appropriate clothes and not everything you possess.
4. I find white shorts, skirt and slacks mixed with a variety of colorful tops easy to pack. Everything goes together. Same for shoes white sandals, shoes or trainers. Add a white handbag. Take colorful jewelry, hat or scarf to coordinate outfits. Reverse for cold climates take basic black and liven it up with coloured accessories. You can dress an outfit up or down by adding or taking away jewelry or a good scarf.
5. If possible put anything that is liable to leak and ruin your clothes in a separate case or bag. (airline regs permitting) Make sure caps are tightly closed put in a plastic bag and then if possible in a plastic water proof toiletries bag. I usually put this in with my shoes in a small separate bag from my clothes.
6. To save space in his or her suitcase put undies and socks in shoes. This helps keep the shoes in shape and saves space.
7. If you take medication of any kind put several days supply in your hand luggage where permitted or get permission to take it on board with you. If you lose your luggage the last thing you need is the stress of being without meds. Also always take a few days more supply than you think you will need just in case of emergencies.
8. Remember bikinis can double up as underwear and tops to go with slacks etc. Go for a swim it saves washing them! Guys the same goes for you except if you wear the knee length kind but the swimming tip is still good. Not that guys usually wash anything while on holiday in my experience.
9. Do take a few basics in your toiletries bag. Plasters/Bandaids, antiseptic cream, pain killers and something for diarrhea.
10. Last but definitely not least. Put your passport where it is easy to get at and double check you have it and your tickets with you before you leave the house. Have a great holiday!!!
