Roll With It!

I have clients who like to roll their clothes and underwear and socks when we are organizing at their homes. And some of them like to roll their clothes when packing a suitcase for a trip. In many cases it is true that rolling rather than folding clothes can create more space. Rolling makes items more compact and can reduce wrinkles. The heaviest rolls, like jeans, go on the bottom of the suitcase; smaller rolls like socks and underwear go on top or crammed into extra spaces. 

Today's Travel Tip- Don't Put Certain Items In Your Checked Luggage

I travel a LOT! I have my packing down to a science. If I can, I try to always carry on my luggage. But sometimes you HAVE to check luggage. The rule is to NOT pack anything in your checked luggage that you might NEED while travelling . Do NOT pack anything that is SUPER important to you and you CAN'T afford to lose.

I don't pack medications, jewelry, electronics (and that includes cords and chargers), passport and any other important documents. And of course what ever else YOU feel is important. Sometimes, if i have room, i'll also have an extra t shirt and maybe a pair of underwear. Sometimes luggage gets lost or delayed. You never know,especially during heavy travel times like the summertime what will happen. I say be proactive!
