Trip Planning18 Jun 2007 03:46 pm
Every trip involves packing to one degree or another. As every seasoned traveler knows dirty clothes expand to take up more room than the clean ones. Where are you going to put the souvenirs and gifts? TIP: Always pack a collapsible tote bag for your expansion needs. The most desirable is a nylon reinforced type tote bag with a zipper closure that folds very small for your initial packing yet can be used as checked luggage for the way home. Use this for all your dirty clothes on the trip home. Now your original luggage has room for your new purchases.
