Packing to Perfection: Protecting Your Valuables

Packing to Perfection will take a little pre-planning on your part. A suitcase is bulky, but offers advantages. Folding and wrinkling can be kept at a minimum.
If you have to live out of your suitcase while on vacation, it-s to your benefit to keep your coordinated outfits together. For example: Shorts, shirts, underthings, and socks. This will prevent sorting through the whole suitcase to get a shirt from one pile, shorts from another, and underthings from another. This method also saves repacking.
Many of you have your own system which might include the order or which you want to pack your clothing.Didn-t catch that? This explains it. Here-s a hint: Wrinkle prone clothing should be packed on the bottom.
There are items that you want to protect because of their high value. Cameras would fall under this category. There are bags specifically designed for cameras. Keep this item with you at all times. While you are site seeing, it is good advice to attach your camera to a neck strap to avoid very expensive accidents.
A tip for Protecting Your Valuables is to avoid taking them along on your trip. If it is necessary to carry treasured items, ask your hotel if they have room safes, or if you can leave items in the concierge-s care.
