    Laurie, I'm sure you won't remember this, but a little over a year ago, I commented on one of your videos saying I was headed to Houston for a job interview to be a Missions Pastor. I really didn't want to move away from friends/family, and I wasn't sure about living in TX. You responded very kindly, of course:)
    Well, now I'm almost 11 months into that job. It's been absolutely amazing. Words can't express how good of a year it has been.
    Now to the travel related news:
    All in the first half of 2024, I'll be traveling to Greece, Honduras, Rwanda, and Jamaica.
    As always, I get great travel tips from you. Thank you!

    Something for when you do hotel tips: On work trips, I purchase food at a local supermarket rather than going out for every meal. Check the temperature on the fridge in the room. I've had some frozen salads and fruit before I got in the habit of checking to make sure the temp is set to a medium setting. I keep my partially used hotel soaps and when leaving, wrap them in one of the cellophane wrappers from the paper coffee cups. I'll never have to buy soap at the store again!

    Great tips! I also bring a silk pillow case, but may I suggest to bring a brightly colored one so you don't forget it. I thought I lost one once because hotel staff had put a pillow case over mine (it was off-white), now I make sure mine looks very different from hotel bedding.
    I swear by merino wool socks. I only bring 3 pair regardless of the length of my trip. Hand wash, blot on a towel and they will be dry the next day.

    A quick note about your disposable poncho tip: you can order multiple packs of "survival ponchos" that are made of the same stuff as the space blankets but fit like the disposable rain ponchos. They are almost as cheap, almost as compact, and can really hold in the body heat. I always keep one in my car's glove box, and it has been a life saver during a very lengthy (like, overnight and through most of the next day)shut down of a jammed highway.

    • @TravelTipsbyLaurie
      @TravelTipsbyLaurie  9 місяців тому +2

      I just do not know how you survive for that long. Why do your roads shut down for so long?

      @jenharvey3397 9 місяців тому +4

      It is not a regular occurrence, but has been known to happen in a bad winter storm. It's rare, but it happens. I did once spend around 13 hours (or was it 17? It was a long time ago.) stuck in deep snow when they closed down the highway in Buffalo, NY. It was on the highway from the crossing from Canada into the US at the Buffalo crossing, and the border guards did not tell people the highway was closed up ahead. It's rare, but most Canadians outside of BC have at some time or other been stuck in the snow in their vehicle. When you grow up in a country where the weather can kill you half the year, you learn early to be prepared!! You could live for a month on what I normally carry in my car.

    I love your videos Laurie. May I recommend trying a new crossbody for one trip? The Kipling Alvar bag is very thin and lightweight, but can fit way more than your favourite crossbody (which I also have) in its 5 zippered pockets. It is so easy to roll up and pack in the smallest empty space, but you would be astounded at what it will hold (I call it my "Tardis bag." (Fellow Dr. Who nerds will understand what I'm talking about!)

    • @TravelTipsbyLaurie
      @TravelTipsbyLaurie  9 місяців тому

      Just spent 15 mins looking at them-GREAT! Is there a zippered pocket inside? Looks like several types but the longest regular one is 13" long? Anyway, thanks again!

    • @jenharvey3397
      @jenharvey3397 9 місяців тому +2

      The regular (largest) size is the one I use, flat and empty it is just slightly larger all round than a normal sheet of printer paper. The front of the two largest pockets has two open pouch pockets inside, the back of the two main sized ones has a sizeabale zippered pocket, lots of room for my wallet and passport. Since I live in a border city, I often cross into the US to shop, and I like this purse because it lies flat against my body and is easy to keep under my jacket or sweater, making pickpocketing much harder (an important factor when the bit of the US you live beside is Detroit!)@@TravelTipsbyLaurie

    I have those Boca clips for my beach towel, but then discovered large laundry clips at dollar tree. I think their in a 6 pack. I also learned to clip only one side like you do.
    Until watching your videos, I was only aware of regular packing cubes, which I can roll my clothes in to pack more. Now I am going to buy the compression cubes for my trip to Paris in June with my mother.
    I also bought that stripped backpack you showed in another color and got it on sale for $20 at Amazon. Thanks for all the great advice.

    As I get ready to go to Patagonia for my daughter’s wedding we are struggling not only with space but also with weight. Some airlines weight everything and personal bag has to be under 3 kilos!

    I have the Merrell hiking boot! In case anyone is wondering, they do start to feel heavy on the feet after a long day of walking. I wore mine on (approx 6 miles) hikes and my feet were very tired at the end of the hike not just from the distance walked but from the weight of the shoes. I start noticing the weight of the shoe during the last few miles back to the trail head and the weight slowed me down

    The best waterproof shoes and boots that I have found for my wide feet are Lems. All Lems shoes and boots are footshaped, minimalist barefoot design with a bit extra padding in the sole. They are very lightweight too. The Chelsea Boot and Boulder Summits are waterproof. Their Primal Zen sneakers and Telluride Boot are not, but I found a quick waterproofing spray takes care of that. I took the Chelsea Boot and the Primal Zen sneakers on a recent trip to Norway and London, and they were perfect. I can easily walk 10 to 12 miles in any of the Lems shoes/boots with complete comfort.

    My husband likes packing cubes esp the Eagle Creek quick trip toiletry bag with carabiner to hang. His capsule wardrobe is layers in blue and gray, esp gray jeans. Using the 6 hr drip test wet to dry, he prefers Untucked shirts and shorts. Performance Tshirts dry fast. The Ecco leather sneakers with arch inserts and Keen Newport sandals with smartwool socks go on every trip. We use detergent leaves and tear off what we need. We do laundry in a jumbo ziploc, take 2 flat hangers, and laundry clips I’ve made from last years meeting lanyards ( wish I could attach a picture)

    Hi Laurie! I love your tips!! I started commuting to work by bicycle this year (just once a week so far), and a lot of your tips have been helpful for that. Do you have any other suggestions for makeup? I love the idea of the magnetic case, but most of my non-liquid makeup is loose powder. I bought some tiny containers for it so I don’t have to carry the full-size versions. Although this meets my needs, my makeup tends to make a mess when I get to work. Just wondering if there are some other solutions to traveling with makeup.

I’m not taking any hair tools, but my husband is INSISTING that the apple products and kindle need their big charging block because it’s their converter (rather than a travel adapter that has several usb ports already on it.)

      Hi, electronics need an adapter so their plugs will fit into outlets. Here is a 3 min video that might help: bit.ly/AdapterTravelConverter When I was in Belgium, I just plugged my laptop and other electronics into adapters, but I wish I would have packed those I showed b/c hotel rooms do not have alot of outlets.

    The Matador soap bag really works and it's great for trips with many different legs - I can pack it right after a night shower, put it in my toiletry bag, and not have to remember to get it out of the shower when leaving for a 6am flight (so . . . 2 or 3 in the morning). I have a small 2oz spray bottle (with the long trigger) which I keep empty when flying and put a little bit of curl cream or leave-in conditioner (from a 2 or 3oz bottle) with water when I get to my hotel (or even just after we land if I'm going right to an event) and shake up to use - it's great for doing my hair when it's already dry with the added water and that stretches the cream/conditioner to last for several weeks.

Just wondering how strict they would be if our carry-on was an inch taller than their 22-inch height restriction.

    • @TravelTipsbyLaurie
      @TravelTipsbyLaurie  6 місяців тому

      Hi Cheryl. So the adapter is what your electronic item plugs into. That adapter for that country is what fits their outlet hole sizes. So I was suggesting that you need more like the ones I showed. We have sooooo many things that need an outlet. My hotel room had one besides the bathroom. If taking a curling iron or hair dryer, you have to have a converter. Mine is a combo converter/adapter. So I would use that in the bathroom and my extra adapters would plug into the room outlets and that's where I would charge batteries and computers etc.

    I have learned so.much. I am so interested in what NOT to put in your luggage in the belly of the plane. I have no idea. But I remember they blamed the mid air explosion of flight TWA 800 on oxygen bottles in the belly of the pane. They changed is later, but I figure there are things that .need to be in your carry-on. So I kinda wish you would do one on what not to pack in your luggage.
