7 Important Vacation Packing Tips
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Atlantic Luggage. All opinions are 100% mine.
Summer is almost here and many families are starting to think about their summer vacations or have already planned one for the 2015 season. I don’t know about all of you…but after the long & hard winter we’ve had here in the northeast, I am ready to do some traveling!
When traveling…you always need a great set of luggage and for that you will want to turn to the pro’s. Atlantic Luggage has been engineering great luggage since 1919 which makes family traveling a whole lot easier! Their luggage is lightweight, versatile and affordable. You can find it in various styles, shapes and colors.
You can fit a lot into Atlantic Luggage and as a frequent traveler, I am going to give you a few tips!
1. Roll and not fold! That’s right, roll up your clothing tightly and pack your items into the luggage side-by-side and on top of one another. By rolling, you will save space and won’t have fold lines or wrinkles.
2. Know what your hotel offers! Find out if you are given complimentary toiletries in your room. If so, avoid packing your own to save on space!
3. Find out if an iron or hair dryer is included in your room. If so, avoid packing them! Many hotels now include them in their rooms as a complimentary service.
4. If your hotel offers guest laundry services, pack less and have some of your clothing items laundered there. Some hotels will offer free guest laundry services and others charge a fee.
5. Pack mix-n-match clothing for yourself and your kids. Every item that you pack (excluding undergarments) should be worn at least twice while on your trip.
6. Do NOT over-stuff your bags! We all buy things while traveling and you will need to fit those goodies into your luggage for the return trip home.
7. Invest in great luggage like the pieces offered by Atlantic Luggage. They have features like the Link2Go system, which allows you to connect multiple pieces of luggage for easy one hand rolling. Their 360 degree 4-Wheel Spinners allow for easy guiding and steering in over-crowded airports and bus & train terminals.
