Pack heaviest items first. On the bottom of the
suitcase, pack shoes, travel alarm, etc.
Use luggage space wisely. Stuff hosiery into the toes
of your shoes. To protect your shoes, wrap them in
T-shirts if you don't have shoe bags. Roll sweatshirts
and undergarments to fill space. A full bag helps keep
the contents from sliding and wrinkling.
Coordinate your wardrobe around one or two basic
colors. This will automatically eliminate many items
of clothing. Separates are best because they can be
mixed and matched.
Don't pack too much. An old traveler's trick is to lay
out everything you'll need, then take half and return
the rest to your closet.
Use lightweight bags if possible. Canvas or nylon bags
are more economical than leather.

Pack sample sizes of toiletry articles. Liquids travel
best in plastic containers. Squeeze the air out of the
bottles before you fill them up and don't fill them to
the top. Place the containers in plastic bags before
you put them in your suitcase.
Be sure your baggage is clearly labeled. Remove old
airline tags. Make sure your name and address is in a
prominent place on the outside and inside of each
luggage piece.
