traveling is not one of my preferred things about traveling. I mean, the actual traveling part — the getting there — is not my concept of fun.
The rushing, the waiting, the feeling that I’m always forgetting something, the carrying around of luggage, as well as that strap from my carry-on bag that digs into my shoulder, the flight terminal safety and security checkpoint, the guy who keeps sneezing next to me without covering his mouth (come on, sir!), as well as oh, they don’t serve food on this flight? No problem, I’ll just eat the youngster behind me on the airplane who keeps KICKING MY CHAIR, GAH!

At least it’s only a five-hour flight…
But one thing I do like about traveling is choosing up new travel techniques to make future trips easier.
Over the past few years, I believe I’ve gotten quite great at a few elements of air travel, like remembering where I parked my vehicle after the return flight (TIP: snap a photo of your car parking area with a video camera phone) as well as zipping with the safety and security checkpoint (TIP: wear shoes without buckles or laces that you can quickly slip on as well as off), however packing? — packing is still not one of my strong points.

I over-pack. That’s all there is to it. I’m the woman who brings 15 pairs of underclothing for a five-day trip since you just never understand if you’ll requirement the additional drawers. Like, what if I work out, as well as I want to modification my underclothing after? Doğru? I’d rather have much more pairs than less.
But I am getting much better at streamlining. Bence. as well as I even discovered a few new packing lessons on my recent trip to Kauai…
1. pack in twos
It seemed counter-intuitive to me at first, however by doubling up on specific pieces of clothing, I had sufficient to cover my needs.
For example, on this trip I planned/hoped to exercise every day, however instead of packing five sports bras — which was my inclination — I only brought two. I’d work out in the very first one, laundry it in the hotel space sink, as well as hang it up on the balcony to dry.
If it was still moist the next day, I’d wear my second bra, as well as alternating between the two of them like that.
Saved a great deal of space in my suitcase.
2. work those workout clothes
Even if you don’t plan to hit the fitness center on your trip, bring that workout wear anyway. It’s typically lightweight, comfortable, simple to clean (even in the sink or bath), quick drying, appropriate for spontaneous outside activities (like hiking, sightseeing, etc.), as well as wrinkle resistant. Plus, it doesn’t take up much space in your luggage or add a great deal of bulk to your bag.
Gray storage tank top by Zella
I brought a few pieces from Zella on this trip, the in-house Nordstrom brand that’s essentially like Lululemon however a bit cheaper. I believe their stuff is quite trendy as well as certainly comfy. ideal to wear on hikes.
3. pack a camp shirt
Wish I’d started doing this years ago, however I’ve had this long-sleeve J. team camp t-shirt in my wardrobe forever, as well as I chose to bring it on this trip.
Wore this J. team t-shirt practically every day!
The sleeves roll up, transforming it from a long- to a short-sleeve shirt, as well as I used it many, numerous times during the trip, both as a shirt, as well as as a lightweight jacket/cover-up over storage tank tops as well as swimsuits.
This one occurs to be 100 percent cotton, so it dries rapidly in warm weather. I’d laundry it in the sink, leave it out to dry, as well as it would be prepared to wear once again the next morning.
The hot pink color likewise appeals to the useful however paranoid part of me (the part that watches Survivorman as well as I Shouldn’t Be Alive). If I ever have to flag down a rescue plane, it’s a extremely attractive color.
I couldn’t discover this precise t-shirt at J. team best now, however here’s a similar style at JC cent for $16.
