Tip Sheet: Packing

Smart ideas for streamlined travel

Good General Advice

1. In every piece of luggage, place a photocopy of your complete itinerary, including your home address, all flight information and hotel addresses. Include all travel dates. If your bag gets lost in transit, airline staff or other authorities can only forward your bag if they know where to find you. –Marjorie from Chicago, IL


2. Pack a “permanent” toiletry bag. Buy trial sizes our doubles of your shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, contact lens solution, deodorant, lotion, and so on for your toiletry bag. Don’t forget a hairbrush, toothbrush, tweezers, and mini first-aid and sewing kits. Use a gallon-size Ziploc bag for anything like makeup or medication that needs to be unpacked when you get home. Your fully-stocked toiletry bag can stay right in your luggage for your next trip. This helps you not forget anything when you’re packing to leave, especially if you have to pack in a hurry. –Heidi from Sibley, IA
