Travel Tips for the Business & Vacation Traveler from Lewis N. Clark

PACKING

  • The familiar habits and patterns of travelers are changing.  Keep current on the latest airport and travel procedures at the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  Here you will find a variety of travel and packing tips that conform to current rules and regulations.
  • Only take what you can carry yourself. How you prefer to carry it should determine which bag(s) to take. If you'll be bringing home more than you brought, pack a lightweight, collapsible bag.
  • Always keep two packing lists - one for business and one for vacation travel. Then you won't have to reinvent the list every time you take off on a new adventure. Each airline has its own rules about traveling with infants, electronic equipment and carry on luggage. To avoid hassles, have them FAX you the specifics ahead of time.
  • Save space by transfering shampoo and lotions into small Travel Bottles.  Be sure to leave some room inside the bottles to accommodate for air pressure and avoid leakage.
  • Select clothing using basic color palettes that may be mixed and matched to create a variety of outfits.
  • In general, rolling clothes (instead of folding) and packing tightly helps avoid wrinkles.  Placing suits, dresses and skirts in plastic dry-cleaner bags limits wrinkling as well.
