| How to pack your bags |
|
Once you've chosen the essentials, you're ready to start packing.
-
Start by placing the heavy or bulky items on the bottom of the suitcase,
including shoes, alarm clock, hair dryer, and travel iron.
-
Protect fragile items by putting them inside socks or other thick clothing and
placing them in the center of the case.
-
To keep clothing wrinkle-free, place all articles inside plastic bags or wrap
them in tissue paper. Rolling your clothes into cylinders, instead of folding
them, can also help.
-
T-shirts, sweatshirts, and jeans can also be rolled into cylinders and wedged
into corners to keep other contents from sliding around.
-
Extra plastic bags come in handy when transporting wet bathing suits and soiled
clothes.
-
A needle and thread, a compact umbrella, and extra hangers can also prove to be
useful.
-
Pack only things you wouldn't mind losing into luggage that will be checked.
Carry-on bags are the place for valuables, travel documents, medications, keys,
cameras, cellular phones, cash, Travelers' Cheques, credit cards, and photos
and inventories of your luggage.
