Whether you are travelling on a quick
business trip away for the weekend or taking a long family vacation with the
family, packing for your trip can cause quite a lot of problems as well as
stress.
To make sure your trip goes smoothly and to
avoid any potential crises, look out for these packing problem signs and use
these easy, effective solutions…
1.
Wrinkled Clothing
Do you really want to spend your time
ironing your clothes in your hotel room? If your clothing comes out of your
bags looking like they’ve been lying on the floor for 3 months then it’s time
to learn how to pack properly!
Solution – Stick to wrinkle-free clothing
and roll your items up instead of folding them.
2.
Damaged Goods
There is nothing worse than opening your
suitcase and finding your precious souvenirs are damaged. If you’ve ever had an
item destroyed, you may need to take some extra care when you’re packing.
Solution – NEVER put breakable items in
your checked luggage, rather wrap them up in newspaper or bubble wrap and carry
them with you.
3.
Too much Baggage
Does it take three people plus a heavy
lifting champion to pick up your carry-on bag? If you answered yes then it’s
time to lighten the load – no one wants to deal with access baggage fees for
packing too much.
Solution – It is a good idea to check the
weather beforehand so you don’t over pack or pack anything you do not need.
4.
Pre-Trip Panic
Do you find it hard to sleep before you go
on your trip because you stress that you have forgotten to pack something
important? The trick to avoiding unnecessary stress is to give yourself time to
pack and stay organised.
Solution – NEVER pack an hour before your trip,
rather make a list and make sure to go through it while you are packing.
If you think your suitcase-stuffing
strategy needs a bit of work, then remember to use these easy solutions before
you go on your trip, nothing can ruin a holiday faster than a silly packing
problem.
