I draw a smiley face on the front and back of my suitcases with White-Out to easily distinguish them from others. The liquid won't wear off easily and won't tear off like ribbons or tape. You can draw any design you want - heart, your initials, etc.

Save time by packing clothes together in complete sets, i.e. outfit, underwear, socks, etc. That way when it's time to get dressed, you don't have to search for each separate piece. Just pull out a set of clothes, and you're ready to go!

Lay all your clothes out straight. First one with the collar to the left, second collar to the right; repeat with all other garments. Fold over the sides, then from bottom to top in nice neat bundles. Purchase EBAGS on line. Insert the clothing into a bag, roll to release all air (or if vacuum brand, suction out the air), then seal it closed. No wrinkles, and you save so much space in your luggage and the airline costs for the extra pieces.

To prevent bottles of suncreen or shampoo from leaking, I remove the lid and place plastic cling wrap over the open top. Put the lid back on and you have a nice secure bottle. I have yet to have one leak.

Pack swim suits and anything wet in a separate zip lock bag. That way you can pack if it is wet and keep other clothes dry. Be sure to unpack it and dry it out when you get a chance.
