Travel always brings inevitable delays and disruptions. However, keeping everything organized can help to make your trip run more smoothly and take out a lot of the stress..

Here are a few of our favorite tips for staying organized during your next vacation:

Organize your carry-on backpack or bag: Be sure to pack all of the must-have supplies that you'll need at the airport and on the airplane to make the travel time more comfortable; that includes essentials like medicine, phone chargers, an empty reusable water bottle, and a wristlet or coin cardholder for any money you'll need and leave unnecessary cards or other items at home to simplify.

Stay organized and comfortable on the plane: Utilize one of our everyday packing totes that can be placed in your lap or the seat pocket in front of you to keep your in-flight essentials in one place (headphones, book, snacks, tissues, pens, etc.).

Rental car organization: Utilize a packing tote for the rental car, so everyone in the family can have their essentials handy throughout the trip (snacks, sanitizer, games of the kids, etc.)

Checklists: There's no need to continually reinvent the wheel!  Use a checklist each time you pack to make sure you're not leaving anything important behind.  Find our checklists here to download.

Organize your suitcase: Use an everyday packing tote for your jewelry to be able to keep that with you in your carry-on bag in case your suitcase were to get lost.
