A simple and FREE way to have light in the room while you sleep (instead of getting a cheap night light) is just turn on the bathroom light and close the door until only a crack of light peaks out. It works wonders.

I love packing cubes especially the compression ones, saves room and if you are staying at one location, it's easy to pack and unpack and keeping everything organized. I do both roll and fold within the packing cubes depends on my luggage and the items i'm packing, shirts, vs bottoms vs jeans vs leggings vs yoga pants etc.

Good ideas. Another idea for the suitcase tags is to put the info card in the tag facing away from the window so if anyone takes a peek, they can only see the blank side. Don't include any address info, just your name and an email address or telephone number.

PLEASE include at least a telephone number.

I love packing cubes for ease of packing/unpacking when we are going to several destinations or overnight stops but my “aha” moment was at the airport for an international flight. Many of our fellow passengers were scrambling to adjust clothes to avoid overweight baggage charges. It was a bit embarrassing to watch the chaos as clothes were shuffled, falling onto the floor and just creating more mess than it was solving. One of our bags was 2 lbs over the limit (evidently our scale was not calibrated as well as the airline’s). All I did was open my suitcase, grab two of the larger cubes, weighed them and threw them into my personal bag. Easy peasy and took less than a couple minutes. That experience made me a true believer in using cubes or, because I am cheap, I now also use our reusable shopping bags in the same way except I will sort by day, rolling all the clothes I plan for the entire day, place them in the bag, roll the bag shut and into the suitcase. When we get to our destination, I have gotten lazy enough to simply place the bag handles over clothes hangers and hang it in the closet, especially if the clothes don’t need to be hung to get wrinkles out.

For privacy with luggage tags, just fill out the card they come with, but don't put that on the outside. Just turn it over and write something like "See other side for details" or just "See over". That way people can easily see your name address or phone number, but should your luggage get lost and someone actually needs to contact you, they can take out the card.
