So you’re all ready to go on your trip abroad. You’ve bought plane tickets, booked the hotel, saved spending money and asked for time off work.
So you’re all set, right?
Wrong. You still have to pack, and with Transportation Security Administration restrictions still in effect, it takes some thought.
Tips
1. Keep a few plastic bags handy for items such as toiletries. You could use it for dirty clothes, a garbage bag, or umbrella in a pinch.
2. You can pack more clothing if you roll it, rather than fold it.
3. If you travel with an item with batteries, turn the batteries around so that if it is accidentally turned on, the batteries won’t die.
4. Keep important papers and medication in your carry-on. If on a long flight, keep a set of changing clothes in it, in case your bags get delayed or lost.
5. Don’t wrap gifts (they may need to be open by airport security).
6. A piece of cardboard can be used as a suitcase divider.
7. Scan your passport, photos and paper tickets and store in an e-mail based Web account.
8. Check out the weather at your destination and pack only the clothes you know you will use.
