Tips to Help You Pack for a Trip
|
Scan and keep all your documentation, as passport, photo id, airflight tickets and emergency ‘lost card’ telephone numbers in your web based email account. This way, even if you lose everything, you have immediate access to all your important information. You can even email the details page of your passport to the embassy or consulate when applying for a new one.

Split up your values as bank cards, cash, and credit cards, as much as possible in different pockets, in case you get robbed, at least you won't be strapped for cash.

It is always helpful to have a few plastic bags around certain items, especially toiletries to avoid any leaking, and besides that, the bags can also come in useful to keep dirty clothes in… airtight plastic bags are the best.
Split up clothes when travelling with others, divide the clothes between different suitcases. If one persons luggage doesn't arrive at the destination, they'll still have clean clothes available.

| If you want to make sure everything else in your bags stays clean and odor free, place the shoes inside old socks and then inside airtight plastic bags.
Somehow it seems that bags will hold more if the clothes are rolled rather than folded. If you roll in tissue paper, the clothes will also get less wrinkled.
When travelling to the beach, you can use a six-pack cooler as a toiletry bag. Once you arrive at your destination and unload your toiletries your 'toiletry bag' guarantees cheap cold drinks on the beach!
