SMART PACKING

Traveling for business or pleasure? Here's how to avoid wrinkled clothes covered with shampoo!

-Begin organizing a week before the trip by thinking about what you will wear each day. Start with lots of options and pare down.

- Layer items in your suitcase with heaviest items at the bottom and a copy of your itinerary on top.

- Use plastic from dry cleaning or garbage bags to wrap easily wrinkled clothing. Put the plastic between layers to keep everything crisp. Include additional bags for laundry.

- Pack shoes with socks or stockings inside them and soles facing out.

- To keep jackets wrinkle-free, turn them inside out and stuff socks or stockings into the sleeves.

- Use Ziploc bags for toiletries.

- Never pack valuables, jewelry, or medications in your suitcase - keep these in a carry on only.
