• Toiletries and Shoes
  These can be difficult items to pack.  They are both potentially bulky and threaten to damage your clothing, if not packed correctly.  Wear the bulkiest of your shoes on the plane.
  • Shoes – Wear the bulkiest of your shoes on the plane.  I have a shoe bag that I can pack my shoes in.  Then I always pack it at the bottom of my suitcase (the bottom if the suitcase is zipped and sitting up).
  • Toiletries – I also pack my toiletries in a separate bag, both to keep them together and to prevent leakage.  I use L.L. Bean’s Family Organizer for all of our toiletries.  It is lined so that it will not leak.  I just hang it in the bathroom when we arrive at our accommodation.  I pack this at the top of my suitcase (the top if the suitcase is zipped and sitting up).
