Travel Tips



Travel Storage Bags


I had been traveling several years before I discovered the magic of travel compression bags. These roll up storage bags require no pump or vacuum. They are airtight and reusable. I pop a few empty ones into my suitcase and then use them to seal unwashed clothes at the end of my trip. Not only do they keep the unclean clothes separate from the clean, unused ones (I am a serious over packer), but it frees up space for souvenirs. It’s a win/win.


Over The Door Shoe Organizer


Have I mentioned that my family has a habit of overpacking? From clothes to toiletries, we bring too much. An inexpensive over the door shoe organizer provides an excellent solution for organizing and storing toiletries during your trip. Simply hang the organizer over the bathroom door (or bring magnets and hang it from the wall if you are on a cruise) and fill each pocket with brushes, sunscreen, toothpaste, etc. You can even take it one step further and label each pocket using a label maker so everyone knows exactly where everything goes. 😀 This simple organizer will help keep the vanity area clean and reduce the chances of lost items and chaotic mornings.
