37 Travel Hacks {Carryon Bag}
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- I will share 37 travel hacks for packing a carryon bag for the airplane, for the hotel, and for the airport. This is a long list of tips and tricks I have been gathering for 2 years of travel so these will help you. Many of the packing hacks are inside this Bento Bag by Nomad Lane who is sponsoring this video. The number one travel hack is to pack essentials in your personal item bag. This tip makes more space in your carryon.
Another hack is to pack an extra vacation outfit in a compression cube. Slide it in this underseat personal item bag like you would a laptop.

Here is the ultimate packing list for toiletries: bit.ly/TipsPackToiletries
When I travel especially international, I always grab a hotel business card and if we need to take a taxi back to the hotel, we just show the driver the business card..has saved us many times when the driver doesn't speak English.
Oh I love that idea Janice!
Ooooh good idea Janice!!
Excellent suggestion. Just back from Prague and Germany and this suggestion worked great. My river boat had their location number on their card.
Yes really helpful especially if language is an issue. Hotels usually type the hotel name in the local language too
I use my phones map app and pin drop the location I am staying and when I enter the taxi I show the driver the location I need to get to and I can track the distance to make sure they aren’t taking the long route. They see it as well.
I tried so many backpacks for traveling (not for hiking). I didn't like that they tended to collapse into themselves or fall over when free standing, or that everything fell to the bottom and I could not find what I was looking for. One day I was at target trying to find something better than what I had when I came across the baby aisle. It was then I discovered that what I was looking for was a diaper bag! I found that the storage and pockets made so much sense, it was available in adult colors, and it stood up on its own. This is now my new travel best friend.
In my hotel room, I always immediately do these things: I take out and clean the air conditioner filters, i clean them in the bathroom sink or bathtub or shower, i ask for extra shampoo to use to clean the filters. Wipe ac buttons with sanitizer wipes, too. I also bring ziplock baggies to put the tv remotes in. So i don't touch those icky buttons. Remote works inside the baggie. Another hack is immediately wipe all door knobs or handles inside and outside with sanitizer wipes, also all dresser, cabinet, and closet knobs and all wall light switches and those on the lamps as well. Wipe Fridge handles and microwave buttons too. Buttons on the safes, too. Be safe and enjoy your trip!!
I do most of the tips you mentioned but I like the idea of using plastic bags on remotes. In addition, I usually pay more attention to coffee making equipment. I clean the water kettle and NOT use any drinking glasses or coffee cups supplied by the hotel. I bring my own coffee cup and use paper cups for water drinking. I stay away from using hotel cutlery, use plastic spoons and forks, wash dishes and bowls thoroughly with hot water and soap. I would not use the bathroom robes either.
My travel tip is for my jewelry. I use a plastic travel soap dish. Also use a drinking straw for my necklaces. Place one end of the necklace through the straw and attach it at the bottom. It keeps them from tangling.
Yes, great hack!
Amazing tip for necklaces 👏
Just found your channel and I’m obsessed. I consider myself a seasoned traveler traveling to Europe in a carryon for over 17 yrs. I LOVE the hack about soaking the cotton balls in makeup remover ahead of time. Didn’t know that wouldn’t be a liquid when just damp. ❤️
Yay thanks so much!
Tip: go to the dollar store & buy the cheap house slippers! At the end of your trip, you can just toss it!
I did this for my 2 week trip to Hawaii last month! Saved me from wearing shoes around the condo I stayed at… my family was jealous 😂
Brilliant hack!
Yes! I get a pair of these every time, except I wear them ON the airplane since they’re comfier than wearing shoes on a long haul.. then throw em out 😷
Excellent tip. I requested a robe and slippers from my hotels and river cruise. The slippers were huge but luckily I packed the disposable pair too so it worked out great.
For walking through security barefoot, I save those little plastic shower caps from hotels and slip those onto my feet , then just toss them. Works great!
Ironing board for a luggage rack when sharing the room with your family. You can raise and lower it to fit the various heights of your family.
Love love those ideas Jo!
Tip: I couldn’t find actual shower caps anywhere (for packing my shoes in so the soles don’t get packed clothes dirty). But at Sally’s Beauty Supply I found a bag of 30 clear hair covers (that salons use for some coloring processes) for about $3.
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Grocery bags work great
@@bettysims9284 Bread bags too!
Produce plastic bags are also good
Lots of good ideas here! Just yesterday I reorganized the 5 pouches that I keep in my personal bag. ( I keep them packed so I can grab it whether for flying or driving.)1. Liquids/personal hygiene 2. Tech (charger, power bank, flash drive, cords for the different sort of plugs - although I plan to order an all-in-one cord before next big trip), cheap earbuds, and car charger 3. “Office” - pen, pencil, highlighter, small memo book, small pad of post-its, a few paper clips, binder clips, rubber bands, a 6in ruler/bookmark, and a lint-free glasses cleaning cloth 4. Miscellaneous - mini-first aid kit, sewing kit, tiny lint brush, mirror, alcohol wipes, a couple of clothes pins, tweezers, nail clippers, emery board, plastic fork and spoon, Tums, advil, and nighttime nose strips (plan to add some earplugs, too) 5. “Fabric” - a thin washcloth and extra pair of undies (these after I once spent 24 hours in the Newark airport☹️) and now an extra mask. I use a simple mid-size zippered tote and all 5 pouches together take up less than half the space and prepare me for almost anything ( although I do wish someone would make a travel size of scotch tape). At the end I add a book, iPad, and small crossbody bag with phone, wallet and travel docs.
Okay, you should make a TH-cam video! This helps me visualize things in a way that I can teach others. Thank you for sharing these ideas. I'll make them into a video one day. Love it!
Oh, and also, I have an empty collapsible water bottle (from the camping dept) and add snacks at the end, too.
I bring a few of my favorites washi tapes which I wrap around a small peace of cardboard. Only the first inch looses its adhesive properties, and the rest is good as tape or craft tape if working on a traveler’s notebook. Thanks for sharing your list and how you divide items up!
consider just taking a refill roll of scotch tape. Every time you use it, fold back the end so you can easily start it again. Also, you can mark the inside of your memo book with inches and eliminate the ruler.
Lush sells tins for their shampoo bars that fit them perfectly so no wet bars! Also, if you take two rubber bands and wrap them around the open tin (make like a little trampoline for the bar) and set your bar on top, it lets your bar dry out between uses so it’s not a gloopy mess on the bottom of the wet tin if you’ve kept it in the shower 👍🏻
So smart! Might try this for the bar soap they give for the sink.
I was told by Lush employee to dry the soap by standing it on its edge in the tin before storing.
I did buy the tin, but if the soap is wet, I felt like it would get goopy. Love the bar and employees!
Thanks because mine gets goopy at home in the tin.
I have wax paper in the bottom of the tin.
I use disposable paper shoe covers on my feet whenever I have to remove my shoes. They take up very little space. I use them once and then toss them. You can also use them as shoe covers in your suitcase.
Thanks!
Dollar tree shower caps work great too... 6 (3 pairs) for a dollar!
Hack for the inside carabiner: if you take off your wedding ring to wash your hands clip it to that so it doesn’t get lost or stolen. 💍
small caribiners are great to "lock" zippers together to deter theives too! Great tips, thank you!
I do the same and also use it for my travel pillow. Oh and about 100 other things. ❤️😎
I have a pistol lock I use on my backpack. The cable on the lock fits through all four zipper tabs easily and can't be cut easily either.
We used to travel a lot until Covid hit. Since then we have only taken short road trips. We are going on a cruise this summer and your travel tips have given me lots of great ideas to make the trip easier and so much more stress free. Thanks.
That is awesome! I hope it is wonderful for you!
Pictures have saved me arriving early and coming back a week later I take the lot and spot for reference.
Yes!
Always, always pack blister bandages.
Hi Laurie, My daughter and I just got back from a long weekend trip and I used several of your travel/packing hacks - Thank you! My daughter was very impressed when I whipped out the hotel pants hanger to keep the curtains tightly closed. Thanks for making me look brilliant! 😊
I love it!!!
As someone who doesn't like even a sliver of light when I sleep, this is brilliant! Thank you!
Thanks for writing this.....the curtains always bother me ! Brilliant 👍
I take a couple of fabric softener sheets in a Ziploc bag to put in the air conditioner vent in stinky hotel rooms.
Yes!
ME 2!!!🙋🏾♀️😄
I always bring “shower shoes” or flip flops, as civilians call them. They’re great for the shower, so you don’t pick up athletes foot, and as slippers in the hotel. Bonus! If something happens to your shoes, you can use them as street shoes in a pinch! 😃
Congrats on reaching 100,000. Love your video's. My daughter who has been to 56 countries as a solo traveler has a great hack she uses in her hotel room. After checking where the emergency EXIT is on her hotel floor , she always leaves her shoes by the hotel room door Pointing in the direction of the EXIT. This is especially useful when you are constantly changing hotels in various countries.
Yes yes! That was in my very first hack video. Someone had given me that idea. Helpful
Brilliant! Especially if changing multiple hotels on one trip.
Would love to hear more from your daughter
I always bring 2 trash bags - one for my dirty clothes, and one to cover my carry-on bag in case I have to walk in the rain.. just pop a hole in the bottom, slide it over the handle, and pull it down to cover the bag. 👍 And I bring a pillow case, stuff my jacket into it on the plane, and use it for a foot rest. So comfy! :) Thanks for the great tips!
So smart and easy!
What if you bring a roll of dollar tree garbage bags, is that allowed? I’m planning to wrap my carry on bag with it before putting it under the seat. Inputs pls, thank you!
@@sidoreenadiazini007 That works!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie thank you
I have truly enjoyed your travel tips. Here’s my tip when traveling to Europe. We live on the East Coast. A few days before we depart, I wake up an hour earlier each morning. On the day of our flight, I am up at 3 AM which is 9 AM in Central Europe. I easily “slide into” that time zone and I’m not groggy or waking up in the middle of the night. Happy Travels!
Great idea!!
Just found your channel and want to say hello from this Houstonian to a fellow Houstonian! When you mentioned putting your umbrella in a zip lock bag, it reminded me of something I just found out. When you buy an umbrella, it usually comes with a matching cover and I, always in the past, would stick the cover in a drawer and forget about it. Turns out, those covers are meant to use when your umbrella is wet, so it won’t get everything else wet when you put it away in your handbag! Who knew?
Riutbag is a cool backpack where the entry spots are against your back, making it more tamper proof while you're walking around. Plus, the bag is cut proof.
Thanks!
As a road warrior for 30 years, I feel like I've owned every "personal item" bag known to man. Then I purchased the Nomad Lane Bento Bag. My search is over. I will never purchase a different personal item bag. Nomad Lane got it right in every respect. Yes, I do use organizer pouches inside the Bento Bag (for toiletries, technology, etc.). I have two different rollaboard bags depending on my trip (both Travelpro).
Hi David. Can you compare the pros of the Bento to a backpack? Have you flown with in on any of the ultra low cost international carriers, e.g. Ryan Air? Thanks in advance.
@@maxine2261 Unfortunately I can't compare the Bento Bag to a backpack because I don't use backpacks, due to having a bad back. I also avoid the ultra low cost carriers because I don't like paying extra for every little thing. The Bento Bag is an awesome replacement for a traditional laptop bag.
If you are not finicky about hair/skin products, a small bottle of Sea to Summit Wilderness Wash liquid soap will work for hair, body (if you are not staying somewhere with soap bars), laundry, and dishes. Only cleaning product you need for everything!
LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS! ❤
Can you please make a video reviewing the neck pillow that you can pack with additional clothes. And also travel vests. Ones that have all the interior pockets. We are taking our first international flight to Europe and Ireland and I saw those and thought they might help with packing and pick pocketing. Thanks.
In addition to taking a picture of my parking space, I take a picture of my rental car’s license plate, so the number is handy during hotel check in. And if I’m going to be totally honest, I take a picture of the whole car because by the next morning I’ve often forget what it looks like, especially if I arrived jet lagged. Even so, certain models are really common for rental cars, so in a tourist area there may be a lot of lookalikes. That’s where having the license plate number can save some embarrassment.
I feel like I already responded to this comment, but this is brilliant. Great hack!
Take a picture of the car when you return it so they can't claim dents and damage later!
You ARE at 100k!!! 🎉🎊🥂 Congratulations Laurie, great work, valuable information, warm personality, fun and helpful! Bravo 👏
Thank you so much!!!
Laurie I love your channel!!! My sister and I are in our mid 50’s and just started traveling. Your channel has been so much help with all the tips, tricks, hacks and info from other travelers. I have purchased some of the items you recommend for a trip to Denver in Feb. Again thank you all so much for sharing.
Love the tip to put liquids in a contact lense case. When flying long haul and transferring planes i put toothpaste in one side and moisturizer in the other side. That's all you need for a refresh between flights
That's a great idea!
Love the gallon bag idea for umbrella. I have bought a couple of boxes of gallon bags and quart bags to organize things and keep dry. I also got a door stop, and I have a 2 inch cowbell (stuffed for travel) that I will hang on the doorknob in hotels as an alert. I will be wearing an under-clothes security belt, and my passport will always be ON me and hidden except when needed for airport security. I used it in Egypt in 2000-2001, and my next big trip is next year. Thanks, Laurie!!!
Great ideas!
You do such a great job -thank you Laurie! And WooHoo on 100K!
Thank you!!!
Travel to warmer climates, I pack a folding or collapsible fan.
Much needed info.
Congrats getting to to 100,000K. The skirt/trousers hanger to make sure the drapes stays close is brilliant! Taking photos of the luggage. Our checked luggage has gone missing more than once. Having the photo (great idea thanks!) and even writing down the manufacturer’s model or style # is also really helpful.
More great travel tips. Congrats on 100k 🍾⚘🎉, Laurie🎈
Thank you so much!
Fantastic tips. Thank you
Great hacks thanks! 👍🏽
So many great tips and ideas! My sister and I travel a lot and are always looking for up-to-date info and ideas. Love your videos!
Great tips shared by my viewers too.
Yyessss! All of this. Thank you!
I bring my glasses in a flip top hard case, which I wear in the evenings after I take out my contacts. The case doubled as a nightstand dish for jewelry, chapstick, etc.
So smart!
LOVE your videos! I just wanted to mention that going through check point with a CPAP: you have to open the bag and lay it beside your bin. I have been told at two large airports that you cannot pack extra items in that bag. I’ve been pulled aside to repack or throw items away. Same for my husband. This has been very recent. TY!
Thanks for sharing!! I appreciate it.
Interesting. I just flew to switzerland and back and never had my cpap given a second look,
I pack a power cord and a travel fan in my son's. No one has ever said anything to us about it.
Thank you! I was going to put my meds in there
I got my TSA pre-check last year, it works out to 17.00 per year, so it's a bargain even if you only use it once per year. It saves so much time and makes packing much less complicated. Keep your shoes and jacket on, electronics in their cases and walk through the metal detector with no body scan.
It is such a great benefit.
Every time I fly I'm like this is the best $80 I ever spent
I'd love to but I'm international and in the boonies.. getting to where I can do the interview is a real hassle :/
My favorite shampoo bar is from Naples Soap in Florida. I find that it only needs one or two rubs in my hair (long and thick) for the shampoo to bubble up quickly. Naples also sells little round cases, as they sell conditioner bars also. To ensure that the bars don't stick to the inside of the case (or a sink), I cut a small circular piece of a "soap rest" and place it inside. Soap rests are those little plastic squiggly soap holders that can be cut easily to size. I usually travel for a few weeks at a time when visiting family in Germany, then leave the leftover shampoo & conditioner bars for them. The empty boxes are good for jewelry and other small items.
I love this hack! Yes my Lush shampoo bar suds up so quickly!
Thank you for this video! It’s one of my favorites of yours.
Another gem of a video Laurie!!! I have the Bento bag and it is a game changer. Between that and my Away bigger carryon and your tips, no more checking bags for me unless going on extended trips. Thank you for your tips!!! 🤗
Ooh, you can fit it all in!
for those long trips; my luggage came with adjustable straps so I can link my carryon to my suitcase and pull them like a train. we used a couple more straps to add my wife's suitcase and her carryon to the train and they all followed me like ducklings going into the airport.
Yay!!
Awesomeness!
Love my Bento Bag from Nomad Lane!
Love the idea to take a photo of your suitcase. LOVE the hack - pack a placemat for the bathroom countertop. I am going to buy plastic placemats at Dollar Tree. Thank you.
They have a ton of hack supplies there.
That colored tape idea sounds great. I have written contact information/flight destination information on index cards and tuck in all luggage. 😁
Just discovered ur channel and it is wonderful! Thank u!😺
So many great hacks, thank you
I love the Bento Bag. I had it for a few years during its initial crowdfunding release.
You're so supportive!
Congratulations on 100K !!!! Well done 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
Hello. Watching from the Philippines
Thank you!
thank you Laurie
Congrats on hitting 100K. Got all excited to get notified of another Laurie video. Excellent tips as always. When you take the picture of your parking area, double check to make sure you can read it. Nothing worse than getting back to the airport after a glorious vaca and seeing that the picture is washed out due to a light or a flash. Have a glorious day.
So true! Sounds like it’s happened to you?
Great Lady....personality and thoughtful to share these videos. Over the yrs have done good many of these. Always willing to learn new tricks & tips. Thank you Laurie & Subscribers.😎❤️🙏🏼
Happened to me recently. Arrived at airport at 5am, took pics and discovered when I returned at 1am my pics were not adequate. Fortunately it was well lit lot and found car in ab 20 minutes. I’ll make sure next time pics are good.
How exciting … congratulations to you! I love the use of the paper cups and all your travel hacks. Keep traveling 😎🥰💕
You're an original. Thank you!
I love this kind of video !! Thanks ! 👍👍
More to come!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Oh,YAY !! 👍👍😀
Wonderful
Congratulations on hitting 100k. Thanks for all of the great travel hacks. Here are a few I use: I use the coffee cup lids from the hotels as a soap dish for at the sink or in the shower. I use Dove Soap and I save my soap slivers and use them as travel-size soap (I pack them in a baggie) - same with the Lush solid shampoo (a little goes a long way). I bought a small (round) swivel nightlight from Dollar Tree and use it in the hotel bathroom (or cruise ship bathroom) and if I leave it behind, no biggie, it was only $1. I also pack some flat car air fresheners in my luggage. They can be hung in the hotel closet or up against the hotel AC to help it smell nice. I also pack a travel sized spray perfume to spritz in the bathroom as needed. I found condiment containers (for ketchup/mustard/dressing) at Dollar Tree and they are the perfect size to hold shampoo, conditioner, lotion, shave gel, etc. They work well and do not leak. When I go to a hotel, I usually ask the desk for toothpaste and shaving cream because those smaller containers can be hard to find (or almost as expensive as the large size). When I stay in a hotel without a fridge (like in Vegas), I pack a small insulated bag (soft-side cooler) so I can keep ice frozen overnight. I hope these help!
I love these hacks! Can't wait to share the cup lid one!
We must be related cause I've been using nearly the same types of things(hacks now called) for years when I travel!!! So glad you're sharing these! I believed it was just me who did the soap thing, the air fresheners, the nightlight & can lids!! Thanx hun!😉😊🙋🏾♀️
Congrats on 100,000! I absolutely love the organization of that bag! Unfortunately I'm no longer able to carry something like that due to a bad shoulder.
Thank you for watching Tammy!
I also prefer her hands-free backpack suggestion which I have used for international and domestic travel.
Congratulations on 100k subbies!!! So happy for you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Really appreciate
Can’t stop watching your videos. They really are helping me be prepared for our trip.
I’m so glad! The best ideas are shared.
That nite ize buglit is amazing! We always travel with a regular plug in night light for onboard cruise ships as it gets really, really dark at night on the water and someone always need to make the nocturnal washroom trip. This will take up much less space and could be set up anywhere. Thanks again Laurie, I always learn something new each video.
Totally agree! I love it.
I love the pants hanger for the hotel curtain hack. Genius!
A flight attendant told me that about 7 years ago.
Awesome!!!
Thanks Laurie for your review of the Bento Bag and all your tips! I bought the Bento Bag right before Covid hit. Haven’t used it on the plane yet, but will be at the end of the month. Happy to see you like it!
Hope you have a great trip!
I am a bag fiend, so yes, I bought the Bento. Took it to NYC for a few days and came home with clean outfits to spare. Love it!!
Congrats on 100k! Happy to say I was one of those. As the days get closer to my trip I find myself wanting more Laurie content lol.
I hope you have a wonderful time. Thank you!!
Thanks! A lot of ideas to go by! 🥰
Hope they help!
Hi! Thank you for very helpful tips you shared. I will share this, too.
I have a tip. I love to go camping so I buy toilet seat covers that come in in 5 covers per container also travel toilet paper. When I fly I bring them with me in my personal item bag. Because the last time I was on a plane they didn’t have seat covers. Also sometime airport bathrooms run out of both. So I’m ready because I have my own.
I do the same thing. I have a small zipper pouch I keep camping toilet paper, seat covers, wipes and a travel size Lysol spray.
Smart-thank you!
Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers! Laurie, your travel tip videos have been such a lifesaver! Here's to 100,000 x 100,000 more subscribers!! Keep up the fabulous work!!!
Thank you so much!
I love to travel , these are great ideas, happy to find your channel and subscribe. Thank you 🙂
Thank you. Great Ideas!
Thanks!!
Loving your tips. I have not flown in 2 years & have a couple of trips planned. Before this I flew quite often but now feel like a newbie. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you so much for your videos.. Safe travels Laurie ❤️✈️🌹
Thank you!
I am gearing up to travel and have been watching your hacks videos. I love the placemat hack for both bathroom counter and bedroom nightstand. You can easily pick up at the dollar tree.
I agree!
That bag is so perfect!
Thanks for watching.
I use sport socks for slippers. They take up no space. I also saved 1.5oz eye drop bottles and put shampoo, face wash ,face gel, hair setting lotion, etc. It shrunk my liquids bag by 1/2. I put deodorant, toothpaste, sun'screen and creams in bead containers that screw together (from craft section at Walmart). I downsized my toiletry kit. I went through customs/TSA in Nee York twice and in Israel. Not one question.
This is such an amazing video, and congratulations on hitting 100K! My parents recently sent me your page and I think I binged all of your videos within just a few days, because they are so helpful!! Through your recommendation, I purchased the striped backpack from Amazon, the packing compression cubes, and the tech organizer you've shown in a few videos! My S/O and I are traveling to California in a few weeks and I am so excited to implement the travel tips you've shared on our trip! :)
You are so sweet to give me this feedback. Thank you!!
Great idea to use a cord case for hair ties! I'm going to do that next time.
I haven't gone anywhere except two beach weekends for tao year come April and I would love to go somewhere!
I hope you get to!
I always love & appreciate your videos. Thank you.
Thank you!
That bag looks amazing!
Thanks Marlena!
Congrats Laurie on 100k....so well deserved!! Another great video! And ugh just came back from a short trip to Colorado with blisters!! I will have to try your hack on that! From now on will always have bandaids with me...lesson learned!! Here's a video idea.....packing for 2 destinations with different weather patterns. We took an Alaskan cruise a couple of years ago but stayed in Seattle for a few days to sight see. Alaska was cold and rainy. Seattle was very hot and sunny. It was a challenge between all the weather gear, having dress outfits and needing shorts. We really struggled with that one!! Love all your videos!
Yes, it's the shoes that take up all the room for those seasons of travel! I do have one. Great idea to make it into a different title video though.
Rubbing deodorant on your heels will help prevent blisters. I also carry moleskin with me.
Great idea for using packing cubes in your carryon! Thanks. I'LL be putting my evening out wear in there so there's no risk I won't have it when I arrive and my bag will stay neat.
Great thinking!
Used the compression cubes on my trip to Europe recently. They are fabulous! I alternated panties and socks in one cube so I could just grab and go everyday. The cubes not only saved room in my luggage and in my drawer space, they kept me organized during the trip. Game changer!
Congratulations on 100K! We have used many of your tips. Thanks!
I love your tips! Thank you for your channel. You are awesome!
Thank you!!
I’ve been wanting a Bento bag for awhile now. Thanks for the review. I use a binder clip to cover my razor blade in my toiletries bag.
Smart!
Congrats on the 100k subscribers, Laurie! Your tips are always helpful and your presentation of them is always fun and positive. Those zippers (not Y2K but YKK) are something I always look for now. One question about that awesome Bento Bag - What does it weigh? With every compartment and divider, that's extra material, so I wondered if it makes it a bit heavier. That is some SERIOUS organization in a personal item, and I'm all for that! That little nightlight "bug" is so cool! You've influenced me yet again. 😀
I am getting that bug too! I mentioned it in the video...I think it's 2.7 pounds empty. Thanks for your support.
Thank you for another round of GREAT reminders, Laurie!
You are so welcome!
Always thank you 😊
Always welcome!
Love your videos. You’re so charming, generous to give credit to those who’ve shared ideas and so super smart with great ideas. As an inveterate traveler who is also super neat, organized and almost OCD about how to pack I’m humbled and delighted at your amazing advice. I won’t even let my son pack when he’s off for a week with his friends - he always wants to look good but take the smallest bag so he doesn’t look like he cares. I manage to get everything in by using many of your ideas. (Then I make him listen as I tell him which pocket and which side has this or that in it otherwise total chaos) I’m so glad to learn about the packing cubes for clothes. I’ve used them for big items like pillows and quilts (the kind you vacuum the air out) but these cubes for clothes sound fantastic! I would love to have one outfit easily accessible for each of us, and my PJs for when I arrive and want to crawl into bed. I also like to keep that one outfit or a different top and pants just in case you spill something and you’re all wet mid-flight.
I think I tend to travel to certain places or hotels that have more frills or services but it doesn’t mean your ideas are not just as applicable - you want to be smart and safe wherever you go. I so much appreciate your advice
