Below are a couple of packing tips I thought were pretty smart. I figured it would be a good time to share such information as people prepare for beach weekends, camping trips and other summer excursions.
*Squeeze excess air out of bottles before packing so they don't explode with changes in pressure that happen if you fly.
*To ensure that bottled liquids won't leak, unscrew the cap and place a small square of plastic wrap between the bottle and the lid.
*Use the space inside shoes to stuff items that won't easily wrinkle. Not only will the cushioning of the shoes protect breakables and save precious suitcase space, but you'll help your shoes hold their form and not get squished.
Anybody else have a good tip to share? Packing horror story? Post it as a comment or send me an e-mail.
