Tips for Traveling Lightly

Summary: Packing lightly is one of the things that will make your travels as smooth as possible.

If you are going on a vacation in the near future, you have multiple things you need to account for. Finding a place to go to is fun but you also need to make airline, hotel, and transportation accommodations. To make the whole travel process easier you can aim to travel lightly.

Less to Worry About

Consolidating everything you want to bring into a carry-on bag and a backpack can initially feel extremely limiting but it can also be liberating. By limiting the amount of space you have you are essentially forcing yourself to focus more on the essentials. Rather than packing a few pairs of shoes, you can likely narrow it down to a pair of workout shoes for walking around and exercising and a pair of nicer shoes for restaurants and museums. This can make putting an outfit together in the morning that much easier.

In addition to having fewer items to worry about, packing lightly can also save you time at the airport. Idle time you would have spent checking your suitcase in and waiting for it at baggage claim can be spent elsewhere.

Be Mindful of Container Sizes

If you want to be able to bring all of your bags onto the plane with you, you have to be mindful of container sizes. For security reasons, the soap and toothpaste containers you bring have to fit within size limits.

If you take vitamins and prescription pills on a regular basis you can consolidate them into a smaller pill organizer for the week. If you take prescription medication and it isn’t in the prescription bottle the pharmacy gave you, at least have the prescription documentation on you.

I went there exactly 10 years ago for my honeymoon.  I had promised my wife that we would come back there for our 10th year anniversary, but unfortunately our current financial situation does not allow me to do so. So unfortunately this year we are sticking to more local destinations and hopefully we can save up for Tahiti and go back the next few years. (more…)
