Hi Laurie, I don't seem to be able to access your list? (blank space @ bottom right) Thanks
@@berenicem8750same here 😢
I was unable to find a link to download your ultimate packing list
@@ExousiaMinistries Hi, when you click on this blue link it takes you to my blog. You will see it on the right hand side. Just type in your first name and email, and it'll be sent to ya.
** Update - found it in the area that is blue!! Thank you.
Also unable to find link to request for list. There are 4 other links (meds, before airport, etc), but not for packing list
Please dont get discouraged by PEOPLE who are being negative. Your videos have helped so many people travel without a worry . ❤
Hi, I am not at all. I usually hide them from my channel. But we can disagree on this channel with a dialogue.
Place a make up cotton pad inside your eye shadow and face compact powders. This will help prevent the powder from cracking if dropped.
Yes that is a great travel hack!
💕Thank you! I was worried about this for an upcoming trip.
@@DChristina I did this hack many times. If it doesn’t fit or close you can cut the pads to fit. I also used tape and elastics to secure the case shut.
@@sarai72- this is great as I can now bring my favorite, usual shadow.
@@DChristina absolutely! Enjoy your trip!
I didn't know you were a teacher ! I understand now why you explain so well and so clearly ❤
Thank you! 😃
I no longer carry a travel blanket and pillow. I wear or pack in my personal item bag a sweater or jacket and a Turkish towel, which is very lightweight. If I get cold on the plane I roll up one item for a neck pillow and wear or cover up with the other item.
Smart and less weight/bulk.
I am in love with Turkish towels. So many uses, easy to wash out, and dry fast!
I have a kind of pareo, colorful and cotton. I use it as a blanket, against air condition, as a skirt, at the beach, a table cloth, a bag.
I wish that I could use a Turkish towel but I get too cold on planes.
I have a couple of lightweight shawls that are big enough to double as light blankets. I can wear them as scarves, shawls, shrugs, a bunch of different ways and they pack down very small and ultralight. I also really like Teema Turkish towels. They are big enough for a light blanket, great on the beach, as a tablecloth, or a shawl.
I create a TRAVEL photo album on my phone and take pics of all my docs and boarding passes, passport and such. Should I not have wifi while travelling, I can easily access the items. I also email same items to myself, they are accessible anywhere in the world.
Love that tip!
Helps to take pictures of the contents of your bags (and the outside of them, in case the bags get misplaced).
Your videos have taught me so much - after not having taken a plane in over 20 years, I am now prepared for an upcoming trip to another continent! Thank you so much, Laurie!
Great to hear! Know that you will make mistakes, and you will never see those people again. Have fun
Conditioner can be used instead of taking a separate can of shaving cream.
Yes and it leaves your legs feeling soft. Works great!
Great space saving hack!
I like to bring home the hotel bottles of shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and will remove the liquid products that are in those bottles. I then fill up the bottles with my preferred products when at home, and pack in my travel pouches for our next trip!!
Do you get charged for that
Oh smart!
Hi, I do not think she gets charged. And since they're empty, she can pack them anywhere.
great idea
@@stephanied6711 As far as I know, hotels and such are not allowed to use the complimentary toiletry items for more than one guest's stay, i.e. if the first person didn't use them at all during his/her stay, the hotel still has to put all new ones for the room's next guest and get rid of the old ones, so I can't imagine why they would charge anyone for taking them - for all they know, the guest(s) used them up and just threw the bottles/packaging away somewhere else. We take them from every place we stay that provides them, and either use them at home (if we either really like them or opened/used them during our stay) or (if totally unused/unopened), once a year or so, donate the ones we've collected to places that need that sort of thing (e.g. homeless shelters); friends of ours collect them and have them available for their overnight guests to use.
Love your tips and hacks. I have a tip for fellow travelers that may have food sensitivities. I have experienced flights where GF options were sold out. I use a steel, thermos type water bottle, chill it in the freezer and add snacks to it, like individual packs of cheese, some celery and carrot sticks, cherry tomatoes, etc. I open it at security and briefly explain I have snack foods in it. I’ve never had a problem at security and the food has been a blessing when connections are delayed.
Great tip; I have an insulin dependent child so this is also really helpful for us/her. Thanks!!!
I am on an injectable med that needs refrigeration. This is a GREAT tip for that along with my fave string cheese!!!
Great idea!! Love it Paula!
brilliant. thank you!
We pack a couple motion sensor lights so when the hotel room is dark, if I have to get up in the night, it helps guide the way. We also use them at home.
We use some at home that are under our outlets but stay on-of course I think they're blinding lol.
One thing I always take along is a roll of blue painter's tape, which (among other thing) serves the same purpose as your post it notes. I also use it to cover the inside of the peephole in the door.
Maybe you are who I got that travel hack from 5 years ago. I could not believe our hotel in Rapid City had a cover for the peep hole. I felt so fancy using it.
I was going to mentioned the doors peep hole. Never thought of painters tape. What an awesome idea!
Laurie, congratulations on 200k 🎉 I always try to share your channel.
I now pack a security door stop. Our last trip I had a creeper at the hotel. We were only there a few days but I never felt safe.
I use a small magnet for that.
And the bright lights of a tv or alarm clock ⏰ ❤
A TSA agent told me the newer scanners look at how dense an area on your body is. Because of this type of scanner I've had to remove my belt with a plastic buckle and also my money belt that was under my clothes. That's why you can't have a packet of tissues in your pocket.
Yes! Money belts cannot be worn through security.
Haven't flown in 8 years so I'm very rusty & I've been binge watching your videos. TY so much for all of your invaluable info/tips. ❤
Oh you will have a great trip and make mistakes, but you will learn and have fun.
I just thought of another tip, Laurie. Here in Canada, our virtual monopoly airline industry is far more dysfunctional than yours, and I always pack my personal item on the assumption that they will make me gate check my carry on and lose it, and my personal item will be all I have with me for the trip. One way to maximize what I can fit in it is to have a minimalist bare essentials toiletry kit (the one I keep in my EDC bag) which I put in my personal item, then I put my main toiletries kit in my carry on case. That way, if they do lose my case, I at least have my toothbrush, meds, contacts, and some other small necessities, while I have made more space in the personal item bag for another outfit or two.
That’s a great tip to add.
Yeah, ScAir Canada has bumped me, lost my check in luggage or damaged it, so many times. They suck.
Congrats Laurie on hitting 200K subscribers. Love all your tips and tricks. It sure makes travelling easier. Have a glorious 4th of July.
Thank you, Melody, for being a faithful viewer.
So proud of you and your channel getting to 200K. Let's go 500K!! Congratulations from a long time subscriber.
Yay team! Thank you.
On two recent NCL trips the cruise line advised us to bring our own extension cords because they often run out. We went ahead and bought a device that has a short extension cord and has four electric outlets and three USB ports. Amazon sells them.
That is great!
Using zip lock bags for many of these things is great
my favorite
All the way! I know what I have with a glance!😊😊
Laurie, the 5 of us just returned from 10 days in Italy. After watching your videos, and reading the viewer comments, we were so prepared. We did carry on only, thank goodness because all our air b&bs had lots of stairs. Looking forward to more videos. Thank you again. 😘✈️🍷🍕☕️😊
YES! Stairs-another reason to pack in carry-on only. Yay!
Ooh share a u good tips for Italy!
Avoid the touristy areas for food. If you go 2 or 3 blocks away, down a side street, you can find better food and great table wine, less expensive and more of a local feel. The trains are inexpensive, and a great way to travel. Learn a little Italian. The Italians appreciate the effort. You pay morr to sit in a restaurant, so at breakfast, stand at counter. Hope you have a great trip.
Thank you! Am going to Croatia & Italy a whole month. Stopping by the island of Hvar & staying in my dad’s old family big stone house on the water. Was there many years ago, so excited to be going back!
Your tips were so helpful for my trip to Spain last week! Thank you! One crazy hack I used there was that it was hot so I only had a light sweater. Not wanting to wear it while watching tv in bed at night when the air conditioning was so cool, I used one of the hotel’s big thick towels as a shawl!! 😊
So smart! I love that one. New for me too. Ahhhh Espana!
Thank you!
Laurie, I use the same foundation and found the sample containers from the Clinique counters hold's weeks worth of foundation. Saves me space and increases the amount of liquid I can bring.
That's great for packing makeup.
I am glad to see I am not the only one having issues with precheck. I follow all the signs that say leave your belt, jacket and shoes on. And I still have to take off my belt, my shoes, and jacket. My travel partner that did not have precheck was waiting on me to get out of the line.
It can be so inconsistent
We have Precheck and Global Entry, yet I get pulled aside for “random screening” every single time. My husband laughs because it’s a long-standing joke at this point.
I have Pre-check and because of the rings on the back of my athletic cut bras, they often have to check my upper back. And I always have to wait for a female TSA agent to become available. Ugh!
Your videos have been helpful for me for the last five years- THANK YOU!! You are my go-to when planning for trips now.
Remember to take a small medical kit with essential tablets like paracetamol, aspirin, pain balms, antiseptic ointments, band aid, cotton wool, digestive agents like mint and garlic tabs.
Always learn something! Although I have been using most of these tips for years - it had never occurred to me to use my husband's liquid bag for some of my stuff! He packs toothpaste and deodorant in his - that's all! He always uses the hotel shampoo and soap.
Love that! Same here!
I started packing shampoo, conditioner n lotion into balloons. They are squishable and fit into smaller liquid bags. They are also great to toss at the end of your trip, giving you more space in your carry-on.
I now buy a shampoo and conditionner bar soap, less messy and not heavy too...
How does this work? How do you have it sit up on the hotel sink? Also does TSA not give you grief?
I just use the J R Leggett’s shampoo bar. Lasts forever and even for a month on the road I can take a quarter bar and use as soap if needed. 😮 Balloons seem a tad weird
Enquire-ing minds want to know.
Wow what a brilliant idea!!
I'm packed and ready to go with 7 more days until I leave, lol. I really like your idea of putting everything in pouches in your personal item bag, so I did that for this time. Furthermore, I also put in a change of clothes, even though just taking a carry on after what happened last year.
Ya never know. And I was super cold in one airplane and just fine in another one.
I have learned so much from you, thank you for all the good tips and products. Flying is stressful for me and you have made it so much easier. I watch all your videos, thank you again for sharing all the good stuff.
You are so welcome!
I never had to remove my belt in precheck.
Save space leave the jewelry and extra shoes. Guys have it so much easier. No makeup or hair stuff.
I take a reusable grocery bag. Many places dont give out bags for any purchase
Great tip!
Laurie, love your channel!! I’ve watched you for several years, but never said ‘hey’. I take about 4 big trips a year, and your tips have really helped me out. Thanks for all you do- I never miss one of your videos!
I am so glad! I followed an exercise gal for 10 years before subscribing so I get it
On Amazon for about $16. Is a neck pillow sleeve (like a pillow case). Fill it with clothes.
Such a great list of travel essentials! Thanks for traveling with Tripped, Laurie!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I go to the pharmacy and ask for my prescription labels and take only the amount needed for my vacation and a couple days more. I put them in small zip lock baggies.
I love that hack; sometimes pharmacies have said no to my viewers.
I think the restriction on cruise ships is for surge protected items. You need non-surge protected chargers and cords.
I love this! I have a packing list in my bullet journal but I also made one in computer and printed and laminated. I just use erasable marker on it while I pack everything.
I used the extra large waist bag (that multi pocketed black one) at powwow this past weekend, and it was perfect. Held everything I needed and left my hands free, and I didn't have to worry about a purse going walkies while I was busy watching the dancing. I came home and ordered 3 more in different colours!
Oh wow! Glad it worked.
Thank you Laurie!!
I enjoy watching your videos.
The top you are wearing, in this video, is a really good colour on you!!
Hi from Chris, in Canada! 😊
Oh thank you!
Been getting back towards travel after the last few years and trying to up my game by moving from checked luggage to carry-on, so your tips--especially about TSA compliance--super helpful.
Loved the post-it note hack to cover lights in the hotel. When in Alaska a few years ago, I wished I had a binder clip or clothespin to bind the gap of the hotel curtains because it is still very bright outside in the summer there until very late at night. Love your channel. I'm learning a lot of tips and hacks for our September Scotland/Ireland trip.
Travel hack: use the pants hanger to close the curtains.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie you are brilliant. That's why I watch you.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie ... that's not always possible ... many hotels & motels have hangers that are attached to the clothes rod and can't be removed. . . A binder clip or two take up hardly any space in our bags and can be used for a multitude of other uses.
ALWAYS pack a few “clips” of some kind!! Hair clips, potato chip bag clips, xlarge paper clips … etc!!! You never know how handy something like that can be… takes up no room in bottom of your carry on!!!
This was really helpful! I loved the tip on whether something is a liquid or not. Very useful. I shared with a friend who is traveling next week.
Oh good! Thanks
I do always have "Bug-x" wipes on hand. Living in the Galveston Bay area, I always have them in my purse, on the boat, in my beach bag! It is a necessity, especially for guests who are not usdd to the mosquito threat. 😂
I just bought some after bite. Thanks for the rec! They’re out majorly up here in Spring!
Good tip on putting your phone charger where you won’t forget it! My phone charger is the thing I almost leave behind most often. 🌺 Heidi
So true! And my reading glasses lol
This is the ultimate packing list!!! Thank you!!!
Hey from Australia Laurie, that colour blue is really lovely on you. I love all your tips. They are very helpful. I watch you all the time. 🇦🇺🐨🦘💚💛
Oh thank you!
Wonderful tips.
Hi Laurie! I just want to thank you so much for all your wonderful videos. You have no idea how much you have helped me and my husband. We haven’t traveled in a very long time and we just got back from our vacation. Because of you, I learned so much and it helped me get through security with no problems and simple things like cleaning your seat back table. Thank you again. You are wonderful and so are your videos!
Wow, thank you!
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie You’re welcome!!
I bought the sunglasses case and the crossbody bag. I love both!! I'm also going to purchase the compression cubes you recommend as well. Your channel is so fun and informative.
Thanks so much for your support.
Thanks to Laurie, I now use compression cubes. They are the best purchase I've ever made for travel. 😍
I totally agree, I love watching your fun and uplifting videos! Those Tripped compression cubes are amazing, and I own a LOT put out by more famous companies. I have 2 solid colours and the travel themed set, and every time you feature them in one of your videos, I find myself fighting with myself - :You do NOT need to get the international sites set as well"!!!
Love, love, love the compression cubes! Makes traveling with just a carryon so much easier. Thanks for the tip!!!
I used the compression cubes to pack in my carry on and I couldn’t lift the bag into the bin on the plane. Be careful of that if you’re older!
I ❤️❤️❤️ the Travelon in air technology bag in Neon.
Hubby carries a larger Peak Design technology bag. He ❤️s it.
Thanks for sharing!!
Great ideas
Great tips. TFS.
Thanks for watching!
Great ideas,thanks!😊
So many good tips, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Absolutely blown away by all your tips and energy! 🤩 amazing woman!
Thank you Laurie! So very helpful.
I am so glad!
Thanks for all the tips🎉happy new year 2024🎉
Thank you so much for this, it is so helpful. We are going away for the first time in two decades (added to which I am now disabled) and the thought of trying to remember what to pack - and then where to pack it and all the rules, my anxiety was running wild. But your videos are helping to demystify the who process. Many blessings x
I hope it is an ultimate list that you can refer to over and over again on many flights.
Great tips!
Hi Laurie! Thanks for all the great tips! I have the black and white striped back pack and get compliments on it! The tripped compression bags are great. I also have the travelon cross body which has become my every day bag. Just ordered the level 8 textured in navy. Your channel is informative and fun!🎉🎉
I love the textured green too. Glad you have been pleased with these travel items!
As always, Laurie, such great tips!!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for your videos. Am a huge fan of Tripped! Bought their zippered pouch for my cords, headphones, etc. , loved it so much I bought a second when they were running a sale. Also appreciate their compression packs. Great tips! Thanks Laurie!
That is awesome!
I love your Amazon finds, etc. Thanks so much for all your tips!!
So glad!
You always have the best travel tips!!❤
Glad you think so!
Your tips are great as usual ! If travelers are going on a River Cruise I would check to see if a curling iron or hot comb is allowed.
We went on a viking cruise last fall and both items were not permitted as they were deemed fire hazards
Thanks again for all of your great advice
Yes, I wonder if they send rules for their ship before a river cruise too.
OMGosh ... I love the post it note tip for covering the many lights in a hotel room! GREAT TIP!!
I love that hack!
Thank you for your wonderful video. Happy 4 th of July.
Laurie I love your travel tips, always learn something new even as much as I fly!
I'm so glad!
Thank you for all your tips. I’ve been watching for several years.
Thanks!
I keep packing lists on my computer for every trip, I go to previous ones for help/control/ideas, as I update them after the trip. And I also type Word documents with ALL the data: flights, booking code and ticket number, hotels, adresses and booking ref, passports number and issue/exp date (including visas): whenever I need to fill any form, I copy from the paper. Plus I have control on the expiration date. All printed, all sent to the mail.
I keep all of my packing lists on my computer, too! For my 2 1/2-3 week trip this month, I started planning my packing list 3 or 4 months ago, pulling from previous years' trips to the same area during the same time of year. That trip is now only 2 weeks away, and I'm eternally grateful that I already had the lists - I love (almost) never having to start from scratch. And the updating after the trip of what I brought but didn't use (and why, if I can figure it out), and what I didn't bring but ended up needing - I've found that to be integral in paring down on future trips.
That's a great idea!
All-weather-pants, what a GREAT idea! Thank you 😊
They are versatile too.
Oh my gosh Laurie! These tips are worth my weight in gold!!!
I am so glad!!
Ok. I LOVE that I discovered this. I was traveling from our Yuma winter home to our WA home. I had purchased a shorter plastic bar s like roll up shower mat--- Amazon. I decided I wanted it for one of our WA showers. But!!!! Joy!!!
I took it into each hotel room. It was such a comfort and peace of mind to not have my feet touch the hotel or motel bathtub or shower floor. Usually just an uncomfortable cringe. Plus more secure from slipping.
Then you just stand it up, rinse it off, let it air dry or dry with the used towel, roll it up, put a hair elastic onto it and put into back seat with hotel room carry in essentials. Hardly any space needed to take.
Also, ALWAYS. Night lights, extension cords and a small travel extension cord with usb capability. And a plug in with multiple plug in abilities.
So many rooms have minimum, hard to get to plug ins.
I have never heard of this. Thank you!
Are you talking about this: amzn.to/3RQuF4u
Thanks Laurie!
Hope it works!
Thank you so much, such helpful tips! One thing I find helpful also is to always pack bin liners in case of travel sickness xx
I hope you have lots of trips and no sickness.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie thank you!
Great tips Laurie!
Thanks
New subscriber, these are great tips! I'm glad I found this channel when I did. Its nice to have a comprehensive place for travel advice.
Thanks for always putting out so much good content❤❤❤
I really appreciate it. It takes about 11 hours to edit one video.
Thanks for your list, you always have good tips. 👍
I am so glad they help.
Hey another great video, with super useful tips! On my way to Canada again in five days! Love your videos!!
AHHHHH such a beautiful place in the summer especially.
Laurie, love that color blue shirt on you. It’s one of my fav color to wear cuz I get a lot of comments on how it looks good on me.
I use black electric tape to cover all those obnoxious lights.
Smart travel hack!
Thanks for a very informative video. I, like you, like to organize and have everything in it's place while also looking very nice. 🌻🐕🥰
I recommend your channel you have lots of good ideas and I can pick and choose what suits my needs. Thanks
Oh thank you! Yes we all have different needs for travel and different styles in every part of it. Glad to help and thank you so much for watching!
The packing cubes after watching your videos and it makes it so much easier. I use less bags also.
That's great!
A great packing hack I saw years ago that ultra lite people are moving towards in liu of all these bags which add up in weight and size is to buy sets of Silicone zip lock storage bags. I am shocked this has not caught on more. I have been using these exclusively for years and have one yet fail or puncture. I bought one set to try and WOW.
I bought 5 sets under ten dollars each on Amazon on sale and not just for travel but their intended home use and for travel snacks.
They come in set of 4 each snack, sandwhich, quart and gallon size. They are frosty clear so you can see through them. They are obviously water proof and hold water without leaking and can be frozen or hold boiling water, or put in boiling water. Dish washer safe.
These bags were invented to replace Zip lock freezer bags to me so extremely more sturdy to last YEARS being thick silcone, more study then thick plastic and environmentally friendly. No zippers to break or other non waterproof or cheap materials to rip or degrade.
These cover your liquids bag, personal care bag, brilliant for makeup, make up brushes, hair, nails, sanitary items, medications, medical kits, tech bags water proofing cords, memory cards, batteries, one as a waterproof phone bag, keeping all things compressed if you squeeze out the air and waterproof.
I pack some clothes in mine. I can fit undeware in one, socks in another, a few bras in yet another a whole set of under garments for an emergency change of clothes, and they compress almost flat.
I put my wet bathing shorts in top in one after a swim.
The snack size is perfect for jewelry, keeping smaller silcone medication bags that you have all together, one for a bathroom bag to store soap sheets and wipes or add water dime towels for bathrooms with no supplies, one for storing spare cash and credit cards and copies of ID, the sandwhich is great for all your paperwork- passport, tickets, key cards and maps. Being Silicone they slip in and out of pack or suitcase pockets so easily.
You can put a travel light in one and use it as a light defuse because it's frosty, like the NU25 headlamp I mentioned in my other post. I have one for my emergency radio.
I keep my laundry sheets in one so the smell does not overpower my clothes... on and on.
The amount of organization is insane and if TSA rips through your bag everything is on display.
as always, great video, great tips, thanks so much for sharing your expertise! i had a surprise on my most recent trip that i thought i'd share. it was a first for me. i took my younger daughter to switzerland last month, and we flew swiss air's edelweiss business class. surprise...we were allowed TWO regular size carry-ons AND a personal item bag! has anyone else ever encountered that, and what airlines was it?
What?! I want to fly on them just for that!
Thanks Laurie, I will print the list off for my daughter.
Wonderful!
Thank you. I appreciate your post. ♥
Glad it was helpful!
Now that I'm retired I travel more and your comments are well cherished by me. I do some airplane travel and I also travel by car to visit family and friends. Your packing tips work well for car travel too!! Many thanks for helping me be less stressed!
I love that you are less stressed and able to travel after retirement! What a gift.
I am planning to test packing my puffer and rain jacket flat (in the bottom of my bag) vs in their associated bags - wondering if that might help with space …. ? Always baggies!! Always a length of duct tape and electrical tape around a golf pencil! I bought paint pots (craft store or Amazon) to use for everything from Vaseline to stain stick, solid perfume to tiger balm.
Yes, absolutely! The only thing with paint pots is something I just realized. I have mine almost full from 4 years ago. So only put a small amount of it in.
I love the idea of wrapping the tape around a golf pencil. I was wondering how I was going to take just a little bit of painter's tape from my big roll.
Oh my....did you say throw away bacon grease 😶 I try to avoid the sun, but when I have wipes that have dried out I add sunscreen to the pack & saturate the wipes. That soap bag is the bomb ! LOVE IT for my shampoo bar. I have one of those and the double sun glass case on my list. Thank you Laurie for sharing your list. My goal is to get us somewhere on the planet this year ~ PLOT TWIST
I thought the same thing - a TEXAS woman saying to throw away bacon grease?!?!?! Surely there's something you can cook with it on your vacation!!
And I threw away the foil lol!

Nice video. I am from India and a lot of travel gadgets may not be available here. I pack my bag as per a list which is based on what activity I do when i get up in the morning. Everything which are small in nature and one tends to forget can be noted down in an "Activity Based" list. For example, when I wake up, I wear my slippers , and go for bathroom chores. So I have to write down slippers, towel,shaving and brushing set. Then I dress up, and that means deo, after shave, and the like. It has helped me to include all small essentials. And as far as clothes are concerned, I tend to wear mix and match with available ones. Another problem in India is the laundry. Not all hotels have their own laundry services and even if they have, it is ridiculously expensive and takes 12 to 14 hours to deliver, since the service is outsourced.
That is such a great tip to help you pack only the ones you need.
All great tips as usual. Have the bar soap bag on my list to purchase. Great idea to save space compared to the hard plastic holder.
It's top quality!
You will love it!
@TravelTipsbyLaurie - so glad it’s working out for you.
The blue top looks great on you!
Oh thank you!
The Gotoobs are great but pricey and I found these (Oursunshine Silicone Travel Bottles) instead on Amazon and used them for my January trip to Las Vegas. They didn't leak in the luggage and held up nicely the ten days I was there and the return flight home. They're air tight so they stay in the form of being squeezed until you remove the top from the bottle. I filled two each with my lotions, mouthwash, and body wash and used them up in the ten days I was in LV. Also I found them very easy to clean. ~db
Are they on Amazon?
@@deniseginn5478 Yes.
Taking my first trip to Europe next month. Never been on a long haul flight before. Omg, I would have forgotten so many things if it weren’t for your videos. Thank you!
So exciting! But the hard part is tapering what you really do not need based on the excursions and room in your bags. Have fun! Do not miss my jet lag video: bit.ly/LongFlightNOJetLag
Currently packing for Lisbon and Madiera and it's my first time out of the country! I've been mentally preparing for 6 months and now that it's time to put the stuff in the bags...I'm shutting down. Lisbon for my bday, having engagement photos taken, going to a festival then 6 days hiking in madiera in several different temperatures including a freezing probably raining, sunrise hike... there's just too much of a variety of items needed for 10 days, so I'm stuck, oh, and 3 different airlines, so I have all the different weight and dimensions limitations dancing around my brian. 😭 Send help! 😅😅
I bet so! But all worth it. Did you look at the pants I mentioned? I sized up one b/c they were the slim cut but love them especially over leggings for example. And they roll up if you want.
Pack light. Anything you forget you can buy when you get there. Have a wonderful time.
Pack items that can be layered...cami, t-shirt, long sleeved shirt, fleece, light rain coat, lined tights, unlined, knit pants, jeans, rain pants. Take on/off as needed. Merino wool clothing is great for travel, but pricey.
Laurie, if you buy unscented sunscreen such as Skinmedica , or Avene, you can use it for hand cream and face cream, it will protect you from the sun even when you aren't out in the sun. They come in small travel size containers, and you can use it every day.
Thanks so much!
I ordered the lil Crossbody handbag u reco’d & I love it so much I’m getting several colors now! Thank you!
Hope you like it! I feel the same way when I find a good bathing suit-order several lol.
