KEEP IT CLEAN

When it comes time to pack and unpack, rather than placing your suitcase directly on top of your bed or comforter, always place a towel on the bed and then your suitcase on top. Who knows what’s on the bottom of your suitcase that’s been dragged in the trunk and across endless walkways to and from the gate. Not to mention any pit stops made in transit.

ORGANIZATION MADE SIMPLE

Clear plastic envelopes are available at your neighborhood office supply store to ensure all your important papers are kept together. You’ll never be scrambling to find what you’re looking for if you get into the habit of putting your passport, cash, itinerary, business cards, personal stationary, pen, and even a chapstick and your Ipod inside clear envelopes.
