I agreed that before we go to our scheduled destination, we should check the weather first so that we can determine what special gear you may need to take.Ann @ Weather Philippineshttp://newsinfo.inquirer.net/tag/weathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179355911461156977.post-2952808914024875912009-07-16T15:10:17.973-07:002009-07-16T15:10:17.973-07:00But for a BIG trip, you might want movers to just ...But for a BIG trip, you might want movers to just pack for you! haha I would suggest hiring a company that does both the packing and moving.

I liked the tip about getting wrinkles out with shower steam.<BR/><BR/>A couple of my own packing tips:<BR/><BR/>To help keep wrinkles from forming, I roll up pants and shirts instead of folding them. You have to be careful that there's no creases forming as you're rolling them up.<BR/><BR/>Wine bottles won't fit, but for smaller glass bottles I've found shoes are a very safe place to put them in.<BR/><BR/>Put heavier stuff at the bottom of a backpack or near the wheels of a roller.<BR/><BR/>If you have a generic looking bag, put something on it so nobody mistakes it for their own. A bandana or scarf tied to the handle works well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179355911461156977.post-18511937007681435892009-02-04T11:18:00.000-08:002009-02-04T11:18:00.000-08:00Robin Sue: Some people only buy underwear when the...Robin Sue: Some people only buy underwear when they absolutely have to, and dealing with a soiled pair may be less painful than shopping for a new pair. With that said, I'll probably just toss the pair next time, it's such a hassle. <BR/><BR/>No one usually talks about the practical side of stomach problems that happen when you travel, but they call it globe trotting for a reason.<BR/><BR/>Bummer about the jam.<BR/><BR/>Blondie: I have a similar kit, it hangs up, but mine rolls. I suppose I could lay it on top but I like having the zipper sections so if one of the bottle explodes then my clothes are still OK.grahamstravelbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00127802470807885644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2179355911461156977.post-12900873312828475842009-02-04T09:35:00.000-08:002009-02-04T09:35:00.000-08:00I divide my packing: work clothes (uniform pieces)...I divide my packing: work clothes (uniform pieces) play clothes (since I am never sure where I'll end up, must be something doable for warm & cold weather) and jammy clothes (run around the hotel room/sleep stuff.) I also keep a dedicated make-up bag.

I like the idea of packing a hanger to hang clothes to steam in the bathroom, haven't thought of that one. Last time I flew I had to throw away some jam that my friend made for me. I had it in my carry on and it was too late to check, so sad. Now for my sick and twisted sense of humor...<BR/><BR/>***"Pack zip-tight freezer bags in case you want to bring something back that may leak, such as jam or even soiled underwear."***<BR/><BR/>I think you would be in a JAM if you soiled your undies. I don't think I would ever bring home soiled undies, they would go right in the trash! Of course none of us soil our underpanties or would live to admit it. So I guess this is why we...<BR/><BR/>***"Always pack an extra pair of socks and an extra pair of underwear because you never know what might happen."*** <BR/><BR/>Yes we may soil ourselves and be too embarrassed to pack our nasty knickers so extra pairs are a must. <BR/><BR/>Great Post!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05252905448584981721noreply@blogger.com
