A few clever tricks will make it easier to close your suitcase without a problem. It will never happen again that you find out already on vacation that in spite of huge excess luggage you do not have flip-flops, bathing suit or medication.
1. Plan
There is no place for spontaneity in case of packing. If so far your way of packing was randomly throwing stuff into your suitcase or backpack, forget about it from now on. Start with making a list. Take into account where and how long you're going for. Check the weather forecast and do not forget about what you plan to do. Write down your activities and things that you'll need every day. Add your favourite cosmetics, gadgets, books. If you take medications on a daily basis, these should be on the top of your list. If you go with your family, ask you family members to prepare a similar list.
2. Reject limit and cut
Is the list ready yet? Now cross out anything that is not necessary. Do you really need three sweaters, and can you read 5 huge crime novels in a week? Let's get serious. You do not need all these things. Similarly, you can never use a 1-liter bottle of shampoo. Pour your cosmetics into small travelling containers. This will give you a lot of space in your suitcase and your spine will thank you for it.
3. Share
You're leaving with friends? Pack your things together.This way not only can you distribute all your belongings between suitcases (useful solution when traveling by plane), but also not duplicate certain things. If you and your friend use the same balm, you can together use up one bottle during the holidays! It will be lighter, easier and cheaper. You can also share space and costs of your rest. Among VacationClub™ holiday apartments will also find those which can room up to 6 people. Gather your friends and go to the seaside!
