Packing 101
Suitcase Savvy for Families on the Go
By Sharon Waldrop
Packing Can Be a Breeze
Connie Nanasy has traveled through 60 countries in six continents. She is the author of Roamin' Around Planet Earth, a warm and humorous tale about her travel adventures. "If you take the proper clothing, then packing will be a breeze," says Nanasy. "Take clothing that dries easily and does not wrinkle. Plan on the layered look to avoid packing too much. Simply by adding a sweater or jacket over a blouse or shirt, you can take it off as needed for the day." Nanasy recommends a "three-in-one" dress for women. What is that? It is a long dress that sports a new look by adding a necklace, scarf or belt.
A trip won't be enjoyable with sore feet. "Pack an extra pair of well-broken-in walking shoes. Take one pair, not heels, for dinner wear," says Nanasy.
With some preplanning and organization, you can remember to pack bathing suits for the whole family to wear while frolicking in the waves or lounging by the pool. You forgot the sunscreen? Don't worry; even the least-seasoned travelers know to bring some extra cash or traveler's checks to buy the items that inevitably get left behind.
