Make The Most Of Your Vacation With Space Saving Tips
Summer is just around the corner " the season of travel for many in the United States
. Soon the sound of suitcases being pulled from beneath beds or out of storage will signal preparations have begun for that family vacation, mini-getaway or perhaps even a whirlwind trip through Europe. Following are some space-saving tips, as well as airport travel tips to help make the most of that hard-earned vacation.
Packing Tips
Going to be gone for a while? Consider space-saving bags, which allow you to suction air out of them to conserve space, while still protecting clothing and other items. Large Ziploc bags are also useful for this sort of thing. These types of bags are also great for finding more space in the outer pockets or at the bottom crevices of baggage to make premium use of all the space. Plastic bags are great for containing all your toiletries, medicines and even jewelry.
To conserve space and keep your clothes from looking shoddy when you reach your destination, consider rolling items as much as possible. Use the bottom of the suitcase to store items you're less concerned about, such as night wear, socks and under garments. By rolling these items very tightly, you can create a flat surface across the bottom of the suitcase, leaving this area available for loosely folded shirts, pants and dresses.
One of the biggest space stealers are shoes. While business travelers need certain types of shoes to complete an outfit, you're packing for vacation. Nothing says warmer climates and good times like flipflops. Flip flop sandals are summer's staple fashion item so you won't want to leave them at home anyway. Luckily, they are also one of the best space-savers when it comes to packing for travel as well. These days, flipflops are designed to go with nearly any outfit " from a breezy dress, to jeans, to your most comfortable pair of Bermuda shorts. They are so versatile, aside from tennis shoes, flip flop sandals may fill the bill for an entire vacation. For those heading to beach destinations, chances are the entire vacation will be spent barefoot or in flipflops, deleting the need to pack any other additional footwear.
We know women are often the culprits for trying to pack too much on a vacation. Recent innovations in womens flip flops have made them an even more attractive choice for travel. Customized womens flip flops give ladies the ability to choose one sole and interchange the style of strap on a whim. Now there's not even a reason to have to pack several pairs of flipflop sandals, as this footwear matches any outfit with a quick change of the strap. One company has developed a patented system which secures the strap into the sole with one click. No more debating over which shoes to pack for your favorite warm-weather destination. Pack a few stylish straps and shoe-packing is done, leaving more space for that favorite sweater or an extra swim suit.
Packing for the Airport
Long lines and delays are an unfortunate by-product of air travel these days. Even more frustrating are people who are ill-prepared for airport security. You know the guy " the one who takes forever untying his shoes, can't seem to empty his pockets of change or has misplaced his ID. To save others from this sort of nightmare, be prepared to get through airport security quickly.
First, dress for travel. Wearing flipflops is going to save you time and hassle in line. Don't care for walking barefoot on the airport floor? You could wear socks, or perhaps another pair of slip-on shoes with socks that are easily removable.
Educate yourself on TSA regulations. For instance, avoid over-packing a bag so the screener will be able to easily close your bag if it is opened for inspection. Be aware of maximum weight limitations. Carefully consider the types of personal items you pack in a carry-on bag. Screeners may have to open the bag and examine its contents publicly. To make things easier on you and the screeners, place personal items in plastic bags to reduce the likelihood of a screener handling those items.
If you're headed for a long flight, always dress in layers, which can be adjusted for comfort. Loose pants and shirts will be more comfortable on a long flight. Wear a sweatshirt or sweater which can be pulled on easily in case you get cold. Feet can also tend to get cold aboard a plane. Try wearing womens flipflops along with socks, which makes it easy to slip them on and off, if needed. One well-known television celebrity says one of her biggest travel secrets is to pack a pair of womens flipflops in her carry-on luggage. Once in air, she slips on a pair of socks to keep her feet warm and comfortable during the flight. If she needs to visit the restroom or stretch her legs, she simply slips on her flipflop sandals. Once the flight ends, the socks go back into the carry-on, she slips on her flipflop sandals and is on her way.
With some preparation and easy tips, it's not hard to pack and travel like a pro. When it comes to footwear, flipflop sandals provide a versatile and easy way to navigate the many changes you may encounter along the way. If nothing else, packing a great pair of womens flipflops for your summer vacation provides the perfect opportunity to treat yourself to a lovely pedicure prior to your trip. Consider it payment for being a smart and savvy traveler.
