Deciding
what to pack
, and
how to pack it
without wrinkles or damage, is one of the biggest challenges to travel.
Keep it simple, and keep it light! Remember, you'll be the one lugging this stuff through airports and stuffing it into a rental car trunk. If you don't want to haul it, don't take it!
And there are more penalties to overpacking than just an aching back. Airlines charge $25 or more for checked bags weighing more than 50 pounds. Most airlines now charge for checking more than one bag, too - often, the cheaper the ticket, the more you pay in other charges. So if you want to save money, stick to one bag weighing less than 50 pounds.
