Briton and I recently got back from a little getaway over fall break! We had a great time and thought of a few travel tips that will make your next trip easier! 1. Download the airline app on your smart phone. Downloading the airline app on your phone will help in several ways. First, it allows you to check in on your flight very easily. It also allows you to have easy access to your boarding passes. I would also suggest taking a screenshot of your boarding pass just in case something goes wrong! You will also get alerts if there are any delays or changes in your flight. 2. Fit your items in a carry-on bag. I know you may think you can't do it, but trust me, if I can do, so can you! While I do always like to be prepared, I'll be honest, I am totally guilty of overpacking in the past! Things in the airport go so much quicker if you have a carry-on bag only! 3. Pack one color of clothing. This sounds silly, but for me, packing one color of clothing helps me fit everything into one suitcase. For me, the color is always black! :) When I pack all black things, it helps two pairs of shoes go with everything I pack! Plus, black is slimming and doesn't show stains! 4. Use packing cubes. I use packing cubes to help my suitcase stay organized and help things fit better. I usually pack all my shoes in one cube, outfits in another, and swimwear in another. 5. Separate your clean clothes and dirty clothes. Not only are the packing cubes good for organizing your suitcase, they are also perfect for separating clean and dirty clothes when you are packing to go home! The night before we come home, I always separate our dirty clothes from our clean clothes. My suitcase has the clean clothes, and Briton's suitcase has the dirty clothes. This makes it super easy when we get home! I use the packing cubes inside the suitcases - white dirty clothes in one packing cube and colored dirty clothes in another. I wish that this made doing the actual laundry easier, but sigh, laundry still takes me a few days to catch up on! I hope these packing tips help make your trip run a bit smoother!
