Travel Tip: Roll it up

Uh-oh. When are we leaving?

My brother taught me this one long ago. When packing, roll your clothes.  It’s amazing what will fit in those tight corners in that suitcase…and in that handbag you’re packing…and in those funny side pockets in your luggage. Plus, it helps avoid those hard crease lines you get from folding and it’s much quicker to do. The trick is to roll and place the bulkiest things in first…the chunky sweaters & jeans. Then things that you just can’t roll like those wedge boots (in your shoe bag, of course) and makeup bag.  Then stuff the little rolls around that…the tees, scarves, bikinis, undies…and don’t forget, stuff your shoes with socks.  You’ll be amazed at what a terrific packing job you’ve done…your travel partner may even say, “that’s the only bag you’re bringing?” Ha, little do they know what’s inside! Thanks, Chris, for the tip. Now, T minus 5 hours until we leave for a Naples getaway weekend and check out my side of our Tumi. Should be interesting with a toddler running around “helping”. Also, check out the other side…hmm, maybe my husband needs a reminder? Have a great weekend…I’m off to become a rolling queen!
