WHY IS YOUR #VACATION SO HARD TO LEAVE - Packing Your Suit Case

Wow this is a hard question to answer. WHY is Your Vacation so hard to leave! I think the idea of packing up is probably the scariest part of your trip. You fit nice and neat on your trip over to your #Vacation Destination, because you have planned out what to bring and what you should leave home. It is true that you plan at least one month in advance and you have time to review what you REALLY NEED.

Surprise, when you get to your destination you will find that all that packing strategy went out the door. If you are traveling to a Beach Destination (you will realize that the best thing to bring and wear is your swimming suit. You will want to stop at every beach you see and swim, snorkel, hike, canoe, kayak etc. Get my point that you will live in and out of the water. Once you are finished with the duration of coming home there are two factors that come into play.  When traveling to Cold Destinations remember to layer up and Wear Your Big Coat and heavy shoes as that will allow more room in your Luggage.

1. I purchased so many gifts and I don't think they will all fit!

2. Did I really need to pack what I brought?

3.  If it doesn’t Fit, then my suggestion is to send your presents and dirty laundry home and then you will have LOTS OF ROOM.

 

Well personally speaking, if you are not a big shopper then you will have no problems with these dilemmas.  You can always throw away all the stuff you brought on your trip with you and put all the new merchandise in your existing bags.  You know this isn’t going to happen, so the next best thing is to check out the local Thrift Stores to see if they have any larger suit cases to fit all the new stuff in.  If that doesn’t work for you, then my old stand- by information may help.

When packing for a Vacation, always pack an extra soft pack collapsible bag or suit case with you so you don’t have to worry about all the extra goodies that you purchased.  Problem Solved.  Not really, as you have to consider the cost of checking your extra bag and take into consideration that fee.  Most Airlines are charging for Checked Baggage except for Southwest Airlines.  Those Check Baggage Fees add up fast and before you know it you could have flown first class.  Pun Intended.  That great price that you paid for your airline ticket is now up to the regular going fares. 

Don’t be at the mercy of the hidden costs of your Vacation Flights, be prepared and when you are ready to come home just be prepared.  Have enough space for all the items that you wish to bring with you.  If you leave the Sand back on the Beach, you will be traveling lighter. 

 

Happy Travels and hope you have a wonderful trip planned in the future and I just like to help you be prepared for the unexpected. 

WHAT IS THE REAL PRICE OF THAT VACATION? SURVIVE THE EXTRA FEES

People have been traveling to beautiful destination for many years.  What I can't understand, why do the Airlines Companiess need to keep nickle and diming the passengers.  Traveling should be about the experience and not just the destination.

In the past you could pack two bags and not have to worry about stuffing everything into one bag.  The price of an airline ticket might be a "DEAL" for your yearly getaway or #Vacation, but if you have to add $25.00 to $ 35.00 per bag to your cost, your great deal just went out the door.

I have always advised my Travel Clients to pack light, but make sure that you have at least a change of clothes in their carry on and then check their main bag.  I find now that I say just take on the allowed CARRY ON and avoid those extra charges.  THOSE CHARGES ARE UNNECESSARY.  The airlines are trying to get out of debt at the cost of the passengers. 

Lets get real and try to avoid the extra charges of you can board a few minutes earlier than the other people, is a wrong approach.  Just get the plane loaded in a speedy manner and YOU WILL ALL GET TO YOUR DESTINATION AT THE SAME TIME.

Customers be aware when you book a packaged #Vacation the baggage fees are NO INCLUDED so be sure to allow for that cost so you won't run short on your spending money.
