Packing 101

Hopeless at fitting everything into your luggage?

Lay out everything on the bed first and sort through. This way you’ll have an idea of the number of things you need to fit inside your bag and create a mental picture of how you would want everything stored.

Create a soft cushion for the bottom of the suitcase – it could be your shirts, underwear, sleepwear.

Wrinkle-prone clothes such as suit jackets and dresses should be placed closer to the top. Fold them carefully as if you were storing them in your closet.

Trousers, slacks and jeans can be rolled to minimize space and also avoids creasing. These can be packed at the sides and provides extra cushion as well.

Toiletries – creams, gels, and even soaps should be stored in plastic bags to avoid leaking.
