Default Travel tips -- packing etc.

The one packing tip I learned that worked was to roll my clothing. It does minimize the number of wrinkles while eliminating wasted air space. We tried the packs that Travel Smith sells -- I liked the ones for socks and undies and the ones for shirts and slacks work well, but they seem to add a lot of weight.

If you plan to bring home items that you purchased in another country, buying a large ziplock bag helps because customs will see what you have quicker, which saves you time.

Bring your old undies
& an outfit or two that you plan to throw-away after you get done wearing them.

Then, you'll have more suitcase space as you travel for treasures
