This is Mimi Lombardo. Here are some tips that will
make your packing easy. Rolling clothes compactly is the best
choice for getting as much in the suitcase as possible.
Position heavier items near the wheels to the bag won't
topple when upright. Pack one outfit for the opposite of
what the forecast tells you. The weather may change quickly
and it's good to be prepared. Use shoes as packing
cubes, putting socks and underwear in them. Pack no more
than three pairs of shoes. A dressy pair for a
dinner out, sneakers, and another casual shoe. Keep them in
felt shoe bags or Ziploc bags. Ziplocs are great for
all your child's toiletries, shampoo, toothpaste with toothbrush, and body
lotion. If you travel often, keep these items in a
Ziploc ready to go. Always pack your child's medicine. You
never know where you'll be when your child gets sick.
If you keep a travel kit for medicine check expiration
dates before you leave. Bring your child's favorite books and
stuffed animals. It's comforting for the child to have familiar
things on hand. Bring a light blanket for a small
child. It's always good to have one. If you have
to travel with a child's party dress or suit, put
it in dry cleaning plastic and pack it as your
last item. The plastic will keep your wrinkles to a
minimum. [BLANK_AUDIO]
