What's in your Wallet...uh I Mean Luggage?

There are some things you may want to consider when planning your next vacation. One of those things is what you will pack in your travel bags or luggage. Here are a few tips that should make it easier for you.
1. Plan ahead. Purchase the items you plan to take several days ahead of your travel date. Last minute purchases may end up costing more if you purchase at a convenient store/gas station as opposed to the local dollar store.
2. If you cannot find your favorite products in travel size, consider purchasing those empty travel-size plastic bottles at your local dollar store and filling them with your products. Don't forget your toothbrush covers and wet wipes while you are there.
3. If you use aspirin, pain medication, allergy meds or things of that type, the generic brands can usually be picked up at dollar stores as well. Taking these over-the-counter medications with you can save you a lot of money and time later. I always take hydrocodozone with me too. You never know when you will need it for an allergic reaction or a bite or sting.
4. Pack more undergarments than you will need. That way, if there is a delay or an accident of some type, you will be able to change without worrying about laundering your clothing. Also remember to take a laundry bag to separate your worn clothes from the clean ones. Once you are ready to wash your clothing, everything will be in the laundry bag.
5. As a rule of thumb, I always keep a packed toiletry bag ready at all times. In case we have an emergency, I don't want to have to get out a check-list and go over it. I want to grab and go. Having a toiletry bag ready insures I do not forget the essentials for any trip. Just make sure you replenish your bag after each trip or when needed.
6. I generally take washing pods with me when I travel. They fit right into a small zip-lock bag and I don't have to worry about purchasing laundry detergent. They might cost more, but they are certainly worth the convenience.
