Tips to make packing easy and stress-free

Packing well can save you both time and money. Here's how to get the most out of your checklist:

• Try the Category First rule: Rather than packing by room, sort your items by category. Use our checklist to keep your must-haves, such as documents and medications, separate from nice-to-haves, such as extra shoes. This way, you'll always have the essentials in your carry-on.
• Check your list twice, and pack once. Go over your checklist two days before you leave. This gives you time to pick up any missing toiletries or finish laundry without rushing at the last minute.
• For your return trip, keep a printed copy of your packing list in your suitcase. When you're heading home, use it to double-check that you haven't left anything behind in the hotel closet or bathroom.
