Pack your suitcase: easy picking rules

Send

The vacation season has begun! The biggest problem that every woman faces before the trip is what to bring and how to pack it all.

Checking our list, you can get together even for those half an hour that remained before departure. We take the most necessary and begin to rest already on the road. No advantage and in a great suitcase mood.
1. Before packing, get a weather forecast. Anomalies in recent years have not passed, it seems, not a single country! It is worth thinking about possible travels on the spot.
2. We plan for every day of vacation that to wear up to accessories. Advice is not very popular, but very useful. How often, when you return home, you realize that you have never put on half of the contents of a suitcase, but all the way I lamented that I had forgotten to take something really necessary. In addition, the fewer things you put in your suitcase, the more pleasant the shopping experience.

3. For those to whom paragraph 2 does not suit: we will dump all the clothes prepared for the vacation into a heap, and we will put only half in a suitcase. Needless to say, the selected things should be perfectly combined with each other? Carrying out "casting", we rely on layering. Even pieces of clothing made of thin fabrics worn on top of each other can do a good job in cool weather, and they will hardly take up space in a suitcase.
4. To optimally fill the limited space of luggage bags, we stack things with flat piles.T-shirts, thin sweaters, so as not to get wrinkled, it is better to place them on top or roll them up. We put on jeans and sneakers. Socks and swimwear to save space, you can even put in shoes.
5. We pack shoes in thin plastic bags. They will keep the contents of the suitcase clean.
6. All that is especially expensive, we put in the middle of the suitcase. A beach mat, slippers are easier to buy on the spot than to carry with you.
7. Fold underwear last, when the suitcase is already threatening to crack at the seams. The main thing is to remember that you need to take with you what you really can’t do without.
8. Do not forget to throw a mini-case with jewelry in a suitcase. By the way, an organizer for tablets with several compartments is ideal for this role.
9. Use every millimeter of usable space anytime, anywhere. For example, in a large outer pocket of a suitcase you can put things that need washing. In a smaller pocket - cards, booklets, postcards, a guide.
10. Before we lose sight of luggage, let us give it individuality so as not to strain in front of the black ribbon at the airport of arrival. Tie a silk ribbon from a box of chocolates on a handle, fasten with a colored belt or decorate with a sticker.Perfect suitcase - This is a minimum of 2 pockets and 2 zippers that can be closed in any direction. He is noticeable and beautiful, when you look at him, you want to quickly go on the road. It has 4 rubber wheels that rotate freely around its axis. So the luggage will go after you without any effort. An ideal suitcase always weighs little. Of course, when it is empty.
CHECKLIST

Steamer or travel iron - A special, lightweight plastic model the size of a ladies shoe. A wardrobe on vacation will be at its best.
A large scarf made of natural silk, which will serve as a mini-blanket if frozen on the way, and in the heat it will be much cooler, since silk has unique thermoregulatory properties. Having tied it in an intricate way, you can hide the clutter on your head, throwing it on your shoulders - protect yourself from sunburn, turn it into a pareo with a flick of your hand.
Folding bag - any model that folds into a handbag the size of a palm or baggy will do for shoppingthat folds up like a book. The main thing is that it should be closed with a zipper.
