Planning a Trip Posted by Suzy Guese on 04th, May 2012 Packed up and Ready to Go! Five Steps Toward Becoming a Packing Pro Since I was old enough to tote around a backpack on Family Vacation s, I have loved to pack. The thrill of figuring out my trip clothes and the purchasing of travel sized products never ceased to stir up my travel excitement. However, I realize not every traveler enjoys this task. Packing is more of a chore for many, especially when time can be an issue. If someone handed me a plane ticket set to take off in 4 hours, I could be packed and ready in 15 minutes and so could you. Whether you frequently find yourself packing last minute or spend days packing and need to free up some time, here are a few tips to speed up the packing process.
Planning a Trip | Stuff to Pack for a Trip Go Over The Layers of Dress: I always begin with the bottom layer of clothes and build out when I begin packing. Starting with underwear and ending with jackets, this system has allowed me to not only pack quicker by honing in on one area at a time, but I also tend to be less forgetful. Packing can seem overwhelming, especially when you take into consideration all of the different layers of dress you have to pack. One at a time makes the process less consuming.
