Take a few minutes to think about where you are going, how you will get there and what you will do when you arrive. Give some thought about the things you will need to have with you and plan accordingly. Remember most things you can buy at your final destination, if you forget something. But there are some personal items you may not be able to do without. Personally, I keep a list of things that I need to do for each trip. Going through the list one by one helps to make sure we do not forget anything that we are going to need.<\/p>\n<h2>Travel Suitcase Packing Tips<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Pack light to travel light. <\/strong>If you can manage with only a carry-on for your trip, do it. Take half of the things you need and twice the money. Purchasing a few new items can be a fun part of the adventure.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Pack a sleep mask and ear plugs. <\/strong>These can come in handy on a plane, train or even in your hotel room.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Capitalize on empty suitcase space.<\/strong> Roll your clothes, instead of folding them. Stuff socks, underwear, and accessories in corners and inside of shoes. Leave no space unused.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Keep a light blanket in your carry-on. <\/strong>They can be used as a blanket on the plane, a sarong\u00a0 can be used as a scarf if it\u2019s cold or a shawl on an evening out.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Bag it. <\/strong>Sandwich bags can be used to hold your accessories, vacuum pack bags can be space savers, and trash bags have multiple uses (laundry bag, shoe covers).<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Skip airport snacks and bring your own. <\/strong>You can save yourself\u00a0 money and keep your hunger at bay in case you have a delayed flight.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Cre<\/strong><strong>ate compartments. <\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Two words: packing cube. If you are visiting more than one city during your trip, packing cubes will keep your suitcase organized and save you from having to pack and unpack.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Share your packing space. <\/strong>Traveling as a couple? Split your clothes between two suitcases on the off chance one of them gets lost during the flight.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Bring a multi-socket extension cord. <\/strong>Although newer hotels have USB ports in rooms, it\u2019s best to have an extra outlet to charge all of your electronics at once.<\/li>\n<li class=\"rg-floatLeft rg-double\"><strong>Make photocopies before leaving home. <\/strong>If you\u2019re traveling out of the country, make two photocopies of your passport. Use your smartphone to take pictures of your car in the airport\u2019s parking garage and do the same for your luggage and its contents in case it gets lost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We came across a great list of travel suitcase packing tips that will make your life easier and may even save you money as well.
