printMost people don't think packing is much fun, but you can be sure it feels good to set out for vacation with everything you'll need. With our help, you'll get perfectly packed without a doubt.
A Week Ahead
Dry-clean or wash all of the clothing you plan to take. Locate and dig out your bathing suit or whatever seasonal clothing might be packed away. Try it on! You still have time to replace an item that's unexpectedly too small, too big, or missing altogether.

3 Days Ahead
Make a mental note of the books, maps, and magazines you'd like to take for the plane ride, car ride, beach, etc. You still have time to check out travel books from your library or get a custom AAA map. As you collect these items, gather them in the bag or backpack you'll store them in as you travel. This way, that book you've been meaning to read for years doesn't get left on the coffee table.

The Night Before
Pack all of your clothes, reading materials, and electronics. Make a list of the electronics you'd like to take, including chargers, and double-check it as you pack each item. Leave room in your suitcase for your beauty supplies and some room for clothing or souvenir purchases.

That Day
As you get ready for the big day, pack all of the items you couldn't include until now. When you finish brushing your hair, place your brush in your luggage. Then include your deodorant, makeup, and other products the same way. This includes medications. Also consider any seasonal medicine you might need in the climate of your destination (such as allergy medicine). Make sure you secure items, such as shampoo, that can spill inside a plastic lock bag. Take extra hair bands and contact lenses or glasses.
Now, off you go with everything you need!
