[@jeethwalgampaya7590]

I love to travel and enjoy the whole experience of flying. Somehow, as soon as the doors close in the aircraft, I feel really at peace, and relaxed as I know that , “ this is my time now, no one can bother me”. 😃. Whenever the plane touches down and we land, I always say a little blessing of gratitude for the pilot for transporting us safely. I feel they have a huge responsibility in their hands. Please do let your husband know that his job is greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I think if you travel a lot then having a dedicated toiletries bag that you only use when you’re away is a great idea. I keep it full of samples and travel bottles, and even with its own toothbrush and toothpaste. It’s also easy to chuck the liquids in the appropriate liquids bag when you go through an airport screening process, although admittedly in Australia we don’t have to do that for domestic travel.

I’d suggest trying a Kindle Paperwhite for books. I also have trouble reading on electronic devices but the Kindle is designed specifically for that reason - eliminates glare, etc. No more traveling with heavy books!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yes! Thx

[@bob_the_bomb4508]

Completely agree. I make a lot of 30-60 day work trips to out of the way places for work and my books used to take up too much space. Also, the battery life of a Kindle is measured in days rather than hours, and it saves you depleting your phone battery. I also like the Paperlight as then you don’t need to turn on your seat light.

I watched your videos to prep for our trip to L.A. from TX for the holidays with my family of six. It’s already an ordeal with two big kids, two littles, and two adults…it’s an enormous amount of stuff for TSA to process. We were the nicest people in the line to the agents and the other passengers and when I had my whole tote of baggies that were separated out they knew I was the most prepared! One for food, one for liquids, one for baby food and water, and one for our big bottle of sanitizer. I had screenshots to back up everything too. And then in addition I had all the kids and my large electronics to lay out. Thanks for helping me not be my usual hot mess express! ❤️

Unless I’m flying on a red-eye, I wear my tinted sunscreen when traveling. It protects my very fair skin from the altitude intensified UV rays, and evens out my skin tone as well. I also look for clothing that feels like pajamas without looking like pajamas. On a recent trip from Portland, OR to Charlotte, NC, I wore a short- sleeved floaty blouse with black leggings. I wore a jacket similar to yours over the whole thing. The gate agent in PDX called me up to the desk to “make sure I was there”, and I was presentable enough to get a seat in First Class. I have a water bottle I like to fly with, but I think I also need one of those insulated cups.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Great ideas and comfy!

[@eundongpark1672]

I cut a rectangle of cardboard (thick; from the box my oil heater came in) to match the size of the base of my packing cube (but just 1/4" smaller in length and width) and use that to fold my clothes precisely, which lets me fit more into my packing cube plus wrinkles them less than rolling or casual folding. I put the piece of cardboard in the base of the bag to use when I'm packing to come home. I cut mine from a corner of the cardboard box because I can use the fold in the cardboard to make the rectangle smaller if I want to pack it in a different place. I use just a ziplock bag for my cloth face masks (one per mask) cos it's squishier than a hard case.

So smart!

Couple of tips for the physical book - to save money can also borrow/ buy one from the library, or from a friend/family member, look for one of those leave one take one book shelves, look for one at a thrift store, etc. Also, if it’s a specific book look for it in paperback 1st. Less weight and room 🙂

Dont miss out on Dollar tree. They have great phone/tablet stands, cord organizing pouches, and travel sized items. I have 3 small kids so when I pack, I utilize dollar items. I wont feel bad if its lost, broken, or left behind. Pencil pouches are also great toiletry bags because they lay flat.

We’re heading to HI soon too. The thing I found great on our last trip was something similar to an eyeglass chain, but for your mask.

Real ID licenses aren't special licenses - a lot of states have already made them standard issue, such as Wyoming (since at least 2017) , but some haven't yet, like Minnesota (or at least they hadn't when my parents last renewed theirs). I don't remember what exactly the technical difference is (there is one, I just forget what it is), but the easy way to tell whether yours is Real ID or not is to look on the front and see whether there is a gold/yellow star on it somewhere - if it has the star, it's Real ID and you're already good to go; if it doesn't, it's not, and you'll have to get a new one by May 2023 if you want to continue to use your license as your ID when flying after that (otherwise you'll have to use your passport).

I've just recently found your channel. Your tips are good. I have been using packing cubes for some time but love the idea of pouches for small things. I pack my liquid bag in my personal bag because it's easy to get to, then move it to my suitcase after security, along with socks when I have to take my shoes off.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Smart tips too. Thanks!

[@PASwiftUTube]

Very helpful thank you. Never thought to use a compression cube in my carry on bag. Great idea.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Glad it was helpful! It does help me.

[@shippermd]

Great vid and all useful tips! :) Oh, and the Link to your dress?

[@SusansCozyKitchen]

Thanks for the links in the description box!! I’m traveling again this summer and needed leak proof shampoo/conditioner containers. Thank you for your recommendation! Great video as always. Thinking I need some compression packing cubes next. 👍🏻

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh awesome!! Do not buy the off-brand for those containers.

[@povlily6349]

I always learn new tips in each of her videos. Thank you so much

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

You are so welcome! Have a great time packing!

[@HospiceNurseAmy]

Your completion looks amazing! What foundation do you use?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That room has great lighting and paid for lights as well! I have used Mary Kay for almost 30 years.

[@melodymills5432]

Laurie...as always a wonderful video. I love all your advice today especially the dish soap and laundry pods. Hope your time in Hawaii is glorious.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

It was glorious!

[@missmegynful]

How do you store all the bags, suitcases and other accessories while at home?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I put them in my suitcases. We have a Texas-sized closet so they're on the top shelf too.

[@rkowel]

What I found useful is not using go-to bottles. Just get a travel package of soap and shampoo. It is more sturdy and hold the liquids well, and you can definitely refill it. So many time when I used go-to bottles, the liquids leaked and the toiletries bag became so messy.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Thanks for sharing-great tip. I need to use my specific shampoo most of the time. I love Go-Toob. They are the only ones that have never leaked.

For some reason, TSA has never messed with me with my cosmetics, and I have attempted this several times. I had a tube of Clinique bronzer, mascara, cream blush, concealer, even liquid foundation mixed in with my powder cosmetics. Never, ever get pulled aside.

omg im so early and ty im so excited to watch

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yay!

[@dwhetsel695]

I love this video, Laurie! We are flying into Hobby on the 25th. I’m showing this to my girls, (15 & 20), so they can see how to pack with 3 shorts and some shirts instead of their whole closet!😉 Any recommendations for some fun things to do in your town?

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh, so many things. Kema Boardwalk in Galveston, the space center rocket park?, I would search murals to take pics in front of, and so many mexican places like Molina's I think, cuban food, and the fashion district. There are tunnels if going downtown.

[@dwhetsel695]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie we will get into Houston around 8:45 PM. Is the airport in a relatively safe area? (Being from Fayetteville, I would recommend to any traveler to stay slightly away from Hartsfield) …And thanks for the advice! My girls are already researching instagrammable photo ops😂

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

@@dwhetsel695 Oh you are preaching to the choir! I'm from Covington, GA. When we moved near Dulles, captains told my husband to get a house near the airport. And we were SUPER suspect of living near the airport. Hobby is not a good place. But the Heights is near there and the Galleria area is nice.

[@dwhetsel695]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie thanks so much for the tips!!

[@judywelday7557]

Thanks for another great video. Heading to North Carolina next week but we do TSA precheck to make the security line experience a little less stressful. Have a great time in Hawaii!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Hope it goes smoothly.

[@laurasmith804]

Hi, Laurie! Thank you so much for all the great info! I found you when we were headed to Europe in 2019 and you made the trip so much less-stressed!!😄 Okay, we need to know… did the mascara make it through without being in the liquids bag?? I’m packing now and this is suddenly very important. 😂 Hope you’re loving Hawaii! 🌴

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Yay! Hi! It made it through! What else can I rebel with? haha

[@azariahinds133]

Hi this was so helpful I am going to Florida in 6 months

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Have a wonderful time!

[@jamesarnold883]

We are going to Hawaii in July. Looking forward to hearing about your trip.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Wonderful!!!

[@YaYa-wn7uj]

I ordered Peeps for my glasses, a aluminum tumbler EXCELLENT idea!!!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I love those Peeps.

[@melindam3416]

I had no idea that watch charger case existed! I leave in one week for Greece so I ordered it to take with me.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh have a beautiful time! Don't forget a block to plug it into the wall if there is no usb plug in the hotel lamp.

[@tannerclark4019]

Great video! So excited to start traveling again!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Have fun!
