Summer Vacation Travel Hacks

When you pack a suitcase, wrap your shoes in a shower cap.

This will prevent the soles from touching your clean clothes.

Call your credit or debit card company before traveling internationally so that you’re authorized for vacation purchases.

The last thing you want is to be reported for suspicious activity and not have access to your money.

Store your loose cables/chargers in an old sunglasses case to keep everything in one place.



Bring an empty water bottle to the airport and refill it after you pass security.

 
That way you can drink H2O without having to spend a fortune.

Enable private browsing when searching or booking flights online.

 
Travel sites often track visits and will increase your price based on search history. You can also clear your cache.

Put your bobby pins in a Tic Tac container to keep from losing them.

You can also do this with toothpicks if need be.

If you forget the wall plug-in for your phone charger, check the back of your hotel TV. There’s usually a USB port.



Stick a dryer sheet in your suitcase with your clothes to keep them smelling fresh.


 

When you’re driving in a new city and need to remember where you parked, drop a pin on Google Maps or take a picture of the parking space with your phone.


 
Just hold down on the location and a pin will appear.

Turn a pot holder into a case for your flat iron so you can pack it even while it’s still warm.



Scan your passport, ID, and itinerary and email it to yourself so you have a digital copy in the event of loss or theft.




Safe travels!
