The Organized Traveler, Part I

Written By Unknown on Thursday, March 14, 2013 | 3:00 AM

So now that I'm breathing a sigh of relief from my hectic travel schedule in the first part of the year, I thought I'd recap some of the travel basics that keep me sane. 

Many of you have said that you really enjoy reading my travel tips (thank you!) -- I think it's always fun to connect with others who may be able to share ideas.

This is part one of a three part series, and I'll post these on Thursdays ... right in time to get you ready for weekend travel or the next week's work travel!

Travel Tip 1
Personalize, personalize, personalize!  If it's yours and you want to keep it that way, brand it.  Thanks to my washi tape, my iPhone charger now has a fun and funky wrap.  That cost was what, a penny or two?  Not only does this help me claim it as my own, but it's a bright addition that reminds me to pack it up.

Travel Tip 2
Keep a fun pair of socks in the carry-on bag that you always use, and once you wash them, put them right back in that bag.  Know what's gross?  Airport security lines.  All of those bare feet.  Think about it.  Know what else is gross?  Hotel rugs.  Same reason.  Cute socks keep those toesies warm and funk-free.  Now that we're getting out of boot weather and into loafer, heel, and sandal weather, you'll probably find yourself in what could be a potentially precarious foot situation.  Prepare for it!

Travel Tip 3
Think outside the box when it comes to your travel toiletries bag.  Keep a few essentials always packed in that bag ... they are cheap enough to own duplicates so that you never have to remove them.  For me, that's a pair of nail clippers and a file (broken nails are so easy, and you don't want to risk having a pricey fix at a nail salon where you are, if you even have the time to book it!).  A pair of earplugs can also be a lifesaver.  Noisy neighbors = never really fun.  Also, while it's easy to remember your travel shampoo and conditioner, you may want to keep a razor always packed.  When you are returning home after a few days away, you don't want to be prickly!  Am I right?!


I'd love to hear from you.  Have you used any of these ideas before?
