Discount Travel Organization

Whenever you’re going on a trip, first of all you have to organize your travel arrangements . . . then you have to organize yourself to travel.

Traveling Light . . . .

Okay, we’re not talking about packing a flashlight here, get it? Traveling light? Oh well, it was worth a try, but what we’re actually talking about is traveling with the bear essentials and not lugging half of your wardrobe halfway around the world, then bringing half of it back without even wearing it (of course, it will still need a trip through a quick laundry cycle on your return after being squashed between your dirty socks and leaking bug spray).

The packing cycle generally starts off with a trip to the store to try and find various shampoos, conditioners, deodorants etc. etc. which are within the “permitted size”.  The trouble is that these days we are all programed to go “super size” to save money, so it kinda goes against the grain to pay double for a miniature bottle of something just because you’ll be allowed to take it with you on your trip.

Then we come to the really difficult bit – what you might need to wear. If you’re anything like me you’ll start off really well, packing only items which will all go together to make different outfits, things which don’t crease, things which can be refreshed by a quick hand wash and that sort of thing, but then, just hours before your trip you go into “I’d better take that too just in case” mode and before you know it you’ve got the entire contents of your wardrobe squished and squashed into every tiny corner of your luggage. It’ll very likely cost you more to take your luggage onto the flight (you’re a little overweight mam, and I’m not talking about your muffin top) but you’ve then to go through the whole “sit on the suitcase while I try to close the zipper” routine again at the end of your relaxing break.

It doesn’t have to be this way . . .

Mary Poppins knew how to do it, and it looks like she does too . . .

How about this guy? Shoplifters have been using these coats for years, but now he’s found an alternative use for them . . . great stuff. It can save you just as much money, but without the hand on the shoulder and inevitable visit to the cells!
