  1. Make a list first.  If you trying to pack more in your luggage, you can put socks or other items inside your shoes, the cheaper items in the outer pockets of your suitcases, put liquids in a large Ziploc bag and then in a harder plastic container so they won't spill out. Roll your t-shirts and other clothing to help reduce wrinkles. Using packing cubes helps out especially during the airport screening process, and you can fit more inside your luggage using those. You can reuse those clear zippered plastic cubes they put comforters or sheets in for that purpose. If you are taking more than one suitcase, consider putting half of each type of item in each suitcase, in case one gets delayed, you will still have some of each thing in the other case. If you have a lot of cd's or dvds to bring, you can condense them down into a 25 or 50 cd spindle and then put them in your carry-on bag. Anything  breakable should be wrapped with bubble wrap or something like a small towel and then packed into a harder plastic container. If you have a pair of bathroom scales, pick up your packed suitcase and step on the scales and then deduct your weight. That will help you from going overweight.


  2. if ur low on space and have alot of clothes, try rolling ur clothes to conserve space, just make sure the bag doesnt exceed the weight restrictions!! have a good trip!!

  3. You can make a list, everytime you think of something you might need right it down, then when it comes time to pack check everything off as you get it, and before you leave check around the house one last to make sure you havent forgotten anything.

    Wherever your going you can usually purcahse things there, so if you do forget anything, you'll be able to purchase it.

  4. This totally works:  One Big Bundle.

    Lay all your clothes down on top of each other in a single pile.  Wrap it into a single bundle.

    You wouldn't believe how much more you can pack this way--I mean, you have to watch out for weight, you pack so much more.

    Or you could try a smaller suitcase (yeah, right.)

    I heard about it on NPR, but I don't remember the guy who was talking about it.

    But it totally works.
