Packing

Packing

Packing for vacation is one thing but packing when leaving vacation is another especially when the vacation involves shopping.  I’ve discovered two methods of packing. One involves layering the clothes while the other involves rolling the clothes up as small as possible.  I’ve tried both methods. 

The layered method:



The rolled or military style method:


I think the rolled method works better if your bag comprises mainly of clothes.  The layered method works better when there are many bulky souvenirs like books, cups, plaques, shoes, electronics etc. since these can be placed and protected between layers of clothes.

    The most challenging proposition for many, there are those who pack in phases and those who seem to do it overnight (me). I like the military style you can really pack them in there as said ideal for clothing.
    Question though any advice on T&T packing that is the sauces the curry, the callallo for cousins in Canada who chain your mom to send some?

      Thanks for your comment

      Fortunately I've never carried any food items but I've seen people tape the containers to prevent leakage. Some carry the items in their carry on so they wouldn't get squashed. Others try to avoid the scanner that carry on goes through by keeping the food in the check in luggage.

      I'm not even sure if we're allowed to transport these. I saw a Lady from India with a suit case full of curried stuff and roti at a USA airport. The clerk made her throw all in the bin and then gave her a warning. So I've never tried to transport any of these.

Travelling with kids

Kids Travelling with kids can be challenging at times.  It is therefore important to be prepared to entertain them or keep them occupied so that you and the rest of the passengers can have some sort of peace. The video may be old but it is on point.   If you have a tablet or laptop etc make sure the battery life is to the max before leaving home so that they can have fun for the entire journey or at least most of it.   Watch the video to the end.   The last one is a classic.
