There have been many times I have traveled with just a carry on suitcase. It eliminates the possibility of the airline losing your luggage and saves time be eliminating the need to wait for checked baggage. Here is a great post on packing 30 outfits in your carry on and how to style the outfits so you have plenty of options!

-That pill container is good for more than just pills! Use it to store your earrings, necklaces and rings so they don’t get tangled up in your suitcase.

-Use a shower cap to cover the bottoms of your shoes before packing them in your suitcase. The shower cap will protect your clothes from getting dirty.

-Rather than packing your large container of foundation, fill an empty contact lens case with foundation and leave your makeup bottle at home.

-Toss a few clothespins in your suitcase so you can hang up your wet swimsuit or clothes you’ve washed in the sink to dry.

Invest in quality luggage to make your trip through the airport easy. There is nothing worse than juggling bad luggage through the airport, trust me I’ve done it! I can recall trying to haul two suitcases through the airport, into a cab and then into a hotel by myself. One of the suitcases kept tipping over until finally the strap I used to pull it broke off completely. Invest in nice luggage that will save the wear and tear on your body and make for a pleasant trip.
