Packing for a trip can be one of the most challenging tasks when it comes to travel! For me, I have the hardest time staying under 50lbs. in my suitcase and still have enough clothing options…especially this trip in which I have 3 climates to pack for. We will be in colder weather for this adventure trip so no bathing suit required.
So I woke up Friday to complete the necessary packing task and started watching videos on packing methods. the rolling method was the frequented choices. So I went about filling my suitcase which took me way too many hours to decide, roll, and pack. However, my carry-on is a much easier time to know exactly what to pack and fit it all in. Did I ever tell you I use to be a traveling consultant, so I have had lots of practice!
Three items that are ALWAYS in my carry-on are:
- homemade trail mix
- an empty water bottle
- Nustart protein bars!
Ben has always loved me putting together trail mixes. I do one for each of with our favorite stuff. It makes a great meal to skip eating in the airport and a frequent travel breakfast or afternoon pick me up! Keep reading to see what we chose this time.
An empty water bottle is great these days, because airports now have water stations to fill it so no germs get in. In addition, as we go on excursions throughout our vacations I can always find someone or a restaurant to fill it back up.
NuStart bars are a great on the go change up from the trail mix. I require both! I never know when I will be delayed in the airport or not have a meal option due to my gluten intolerance.
A well-panned suitcase and carry-on can make or break health within travel!
