These basic packing tips will have you on your way to your destination with everything you need with nothing extraneous or forgotten.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"size-full wp-image-18000 aligncenter pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  alt=\"suitcase\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase-80x102.jpg\"  width=\"360\"  height=\"460\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase.jpg 360w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase-80x102.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/afm-style-files\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/22085303\/suitcase-63x80.jpg 63w\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Roll your clothes<br \/>\n<\/b>It may seem counterintuitive, but rolling your clothes lends more room to your suitcase than folding. The key is to tightly roll them, which will also avoid nasty wrinkles from traditional fold creases.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. Make a list<br \/>\n<\/b>When it comes to packing, procrastinators fall short. Start your packing process days or even weeks ahead of your departure date; this gives you time to craft a complete list, plus purchase any additional items you might need for your vacation. Creating a packing list is a fail-safe way to ensure that you never, ever forget to bring something important.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Know your airline&#8217;s baggage-fee policy<br \/>\n<\/b>Avoid surprise baggage fees and check with your airline carrier before you arrive at the airport. Besides Southwest, most airlines charge for a checked bag and even more for your second checked bag.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Interchangeable garments<br \/>\n<\/b>Pack clothing \u2013 such as a pair of black pants or a jean jacket \u2013 that can be used between different outfits. Add colorful accessories to change up each look.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Wash clothes on the road<br \/>\n<\/b>This can depend on where you\u2019re staying when you reach your final destination. If you pack less clothes but do laundry midway through your trip, you\u2019ll save a bunch of packing space with by duplicating outfits and having fresh clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pack smart and bring everything you absolutely
