Don’t pack everything in your checked luggage!
It is important to carry at least one outfit with you in a carry on bag. Believe me, you will be thankful for doing so when your luggage gets ‘lost’ for 3 days! Also, always carry your crucial items with you (wallet, identification, travel documents, keys, cell phone, charger, laptop). It will be a bad start to a fun vacation if your bag goes missing with these items in it!
Also, you never know when the baggage handlers will do this to your luggage… scary right?
Or what about when your bag’s zipper will just burst open and spill all of your contents on the baggage carousel, now that’s embarrassing!
