All Good Things Come to an End
All travel has an end date. Packing can be a burden and can take away from the fun adventure that was had. When traveling I try to pack in packing cubes: Thule Compression Cube Set (Amazon.com). These cubes help to compress my clothes and new treasures so I can get them home in a way that is organized and I am able to separate the dirty from the clean. I also put all tops together and all bottoms together. This helps when unpacking and saves me time.
Great luggage is a must as this will determine how easy you get around the airport. Well worth the money as good luggage has great wheels and allows you to get to that gate on time: Thule Subterra 2 Carry On Spinner (Amazon.com) and Thule Subterra 2 Hybrid Travel Bag (Amazon.com). This is the set I own and love and have used for years. The zippers are easy to close and the compartments are able to contain all my goodies.
Taking a little time to organize your things will reduce some of your travel stress. I suggest that you pack up at least 24 hours before and keeping all that is needed for the next 48 hours in your personal bag.
Well off I go to pack up and head home.
Yours organized,
