With everything else going on in our daily lives, it’s easy to neglect packing your bags until the last minute. The outcome of this however can easily make or break your trip. Give yourself a little preparation time, keeping the below packing mistakes in mind:

1. Choosing the wrong bag: Take into account where you are traveling to and what you will be doing once you arrive. If you anticipate needing to walk a bit to your final destination, perhaps a roller bag is a better choice than an over the shoulder. Then again, overhead space may be better suited for a duffle depending on the airline.

2. Over-packing: A fairly common occurrence, we get it - you don’t want to forget anything. But then again, what happens with the new souvenirs you just accumulated? Try leaving SOME packing space should you need to bring items home.

3. Not preparing for the weather: We know mother nature can change her mind in a moments notice, but it doesn’t help to try and be prepared. Check the weather for the week ahead while you’re packing and leave some room (as mentioned above) should you need to purchase anything for unexpected weather changes while you’re there.

4. Leaving your liquids unprotected: Always pack any liquid bottles or containers either in a plastic bag or a secure toiletry bag. It doesn’t take much for a shampoo or perfume bottle to open or leak, wreaking havoc on all of your clothing.

5. Bringing a bad attitude: Despite your best efforts, sometimes unfortunate things can happen. Flight delays, lost or delayed luggage - it’s best to pack a sense of humor and some tolerance and be prepared to roll with the punches to make the best of your trip!
