Summer Travel: Prep & Pack

I'm excited to share another packing video with you all, since packing is one of my favorite things to do. I'm loving the new Eagle Creek luggage I bought from the Container Store Travel Sale. I posted a haul with a more in-depth look at the luggage in particular. Link below in case you missed it! I'm wondering if you'd be interested in a new carry-on video as well as how I unpack at a hotel. Let me know in the comments below. Thanks for watching!

Yes please, would love to see your suggested videos. My husband now watches some of your organisation videos with me - we're both hooked! lol I really think that organisation makes for a happier home, and because I run my business from home, organisation plays an even more important part. Keep them come Jen, the world needs more people like you! :-)

[@Meg104D]

Would love to see a video about unpacking at a hotel, updated what's in my carry-on and a review on the nail polish bag, Love the idea about bringing housekeeping tips ahead of time - so practical! I'm always looking for the right demoniations of bills after I get there - using this tip from now on!

[@debipowell9509]

OMG this popped up on my sidebar after watching you pack for your family reunion trip!!! I had to laugh, you've grown up on youtube!!! I LOVE YOUR OLDIES so much!!!!

[@LuxeLashes]

PA might not reach as high of temperatures as Las Vegas, but it definitely feels much hotter and heavier. The humidity is incredible...it's currently 96 F with 100% humidity. We are in the middle of a heat wave right now!

[@T.R.P25]

Totally agree! Also, I'm going to miss Jen and will have to rewatch some of her videos! I'm in the middle of rearranging/organizing my closet and Jen gave me so many ideas. Much Love xxx

[@comfychic]

Yes!!! Please show us how you unpack!!! I love your packing videos! I get so many good tips!

[@michelli3011]

I'm getting a lot of inspiration abaout how to pack for my honeymoon from your packing videos, please keep doing those.

[@jenniferwillis8632]

Thank you Jen, that was great, we leave in six weeks for a 5 week trip to Africa, so you have helped me a lot. I thought I was good at packing, but you have it worked out so well. Regards Jenny

[@EEN63]

Great organizational skills, Jen! BTW your giggle at the end about the "in case you miss me" comment... just so you know, we really do miss you between video postings. Don't sell yourself short, lovely lady. There are so many of us that thoroughly enjoy you, your charming personality, your skills, your opinions, your husband, your precious Winnie, your style, your wonderful hauls... there is so much to enjoy & miss. So have a glorious vacation & you know we'd love a vlog, if you can arrange it!

[@shoppingfiesta]

You know that tv channel TLC? They have these shows, "extreme couponing", "extreme hoarding", "extreme whatever...". This would be the first episode of "Extreme Packing". No, this would be the season finale! And by the way, I would watch that show. Every episode.

[@SwmGrl99]

yes! updated what's in your carry on bag and how you get organized at a hotel!

[@gailcarsten7903]

You're good! I find that the biggest job is to think about what to take. Packing is the least of my worries.

[@pineappleguru1980]

Love your packing videos! I look forward to watching a couple of your vids every day! I'm going to Florida with my mom for 9 days and this is giving me a good idea of how and what to pack, and also I'm possibly visiting my husband's family for a week by the lake, so this helps a lot! It's getting me excited for my trips, I didn't think I'd get to go on any this summer. Thank you!

[@ThePinkMyth]

I think your packing videos are the most helpful! I would love to see what's in your toiletry bags!

[@ya_boi_chrish]

I'm from West Cheseter, PA. You've GOT to make a trip there and visit. One of the best little towns you'll ever come across, guaranteed. Safe travels!

[@okbookgirl]

You don't have to take your ipad and kindle unless you are using the kindle as an alternative to the ipad at the pool, the kindle app works great on apple products and you can condense down into one item if you wanted to save taking two ereaders with you as you are allowed to download to multiple devices. (you can also use the nook app or as overdrive books if you loan from your local library) Just recently found your posts and I love them, so fun and informative.

[@zachcostell5902]

You and Don should take a Cruise! You would love it!!

[@luvdamusic2]

omg u are the packing queen.. the whole time i was watching i kept thinking omg she isnt gonna fit all of that into the suitcases but u did it seriously wish u watched this before i went on my vaca i would have been able to take a lot more with me

[@calfeli]

love your vids Jen, my husband, kids and i have been traveling a bunch this summer & your tips and tricks helped me survive the whole traveling experience.ive become a pro- we really do put every item to use in are trips thank you !

[@MouseChirpy]

I really enjoyed your packing video, Jen. I dislike packing and can't believe that I am actually looking forward to doing it after watching your video. I am going on a cruise early next year and will be away for over a month and I think that packing for it is going to be a nightmare. I use packing cubes too and am now thinking that I should order a few more smaller ones after seeing how you pack. Thanks so much for sharing. You are always so inspiring!

[@iloveulta2]

I mean this with all respect...THANK YOU for making me appreciate my very simple, boring life LOL!!! Thats way too much for me. I could never do nor would ever want to attend anything that made me have to pack like that...I thought I did until I seen your video...Do you really use all this on your trip? you are a pro at this...organizing/packing is your forte...thank you for taking time in making all these videos. I really enjoy them.

[@scrapper900]

Would love to see the new carry on video. Have a great time traveling. Beware...the weather is HOT in Vegas right now.

[@lovebubblykatie]

PLEASE POST THE CARRY ON VIDEO, I ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOUR VIDEOS JEN! Anytime you travel please post these videos :D

[@fiddlegirl71]

Currently packing for a trip out of the country while watching this video!

[@maryjaneg170]

im in las vegas and itsbeen over 100 for a few weeks now have a safe trip and have fun

[@MrsARosenberg]

It's super hot in Vegas right now, about 104-106! Have fun!

[@lovels2010]

I love how you packed. Enjoy your vacation.

[@emilou102]

I always like to split our clothes across mine & my bf's case when we travel so that in the event one of our cases does go missing we both have enough/appropriate clothes to last us a couple of days. I love those pack it cube's - will try and find something similar here in the uk!

[@SillyMando2008]

All hail to the packing queen!

[@stephd1980]

I would LOVE to see how you get organized at a hotel!!!

[@bhawman]

Thank you & have a safe & fun trip!

[@prettypaperz]

So glad you decided to go ahead and get the two smaller suitcases, I think you'll be happy in the long run. I love your packing cubes I may start using those too. I tend to use ziplocks because they are lighter weight and disposable. Go see Cirque De Soliel Mystere if you haven't already done so. We have seen this show several times. Safe and fun travels to you and The Donald!

[@BeccaChantel90]

Thank you for your videos on packing! I am going to Nashville in two weeks, and have been watching your videos to prep myself to pack the most efficient way possible!

[@Marianneasu]

Would LOVE to see how you unpack and set up in the hotel. Also, when you get home how you unpack and get things back to normal. I really enjoy your videos Jen keep it up and enjoy your vacation travels :o)

[@michelleiswatching]

It's crazy that you need all those toiletries! You look so nice and simple, like all you'd need is a brush and some lipgloss!

[@CUBANARAMA]

Wow, you blow me away. You are amazing at packing....

[@labsareperfect]

It's so interesting how little you pack now that you are a mom of two.

[@JustRyhssa]

Yes! Jen, it would be super helpful if you could do the unpacking/organization for the hotel! And yes, please do a carry on bag too please !(:

[@tammimarie]

Ps. I didn't mean that to sound snarky, just surprised. That's okay though I've been known to pack 10 heavy books in the past and go overweight because of books, thank god for Kindles now. Thank you for showcasing the suitcases, they do seem nice. I will consider them for next year's sale (if they have it) for our Scotland trip.

[@adfkjgvdjfvbdbvdkjvb]

yes for the carry-on video

[@Meg104D]

Could you do a video on what makeup you packed and then which items you actually used and which you felt you could have left home?

[@MyMaggie693]

Thank you Jen, I have learnt so much from you. My packing for my lastest trip has been the best ever thanks to you.Combination trip LV & NY and a cruise. xxx

[@T.R.P25]

Jen, have a nice trip, miss you already! big hugs xxx

[@QuoteCraze]

yeah ive been waiting for that one too!

[@pineappleguru1980]

Oh, and I love your Vera Bradly packing things. I'm going to have to look at them online!

[@DoItOnaDime]

great vid. i love the sped up clips. wish i could go like that in real life ;) i was wondering if you could show how you keep and re-arrange the bags during your vacation to keep them neat. i feel like i am a very good packer, but i struggle to easily keep things handy/organized during our trips. thanks for another great video, jen!

[@nilandmusic]

Missing you already Jen! Have fun xxx

[@mlokrongly09]

I know this is already in your plans, but I'm really excited to see how you unpack when you get to your destination/hotel :)

[@StephK131]

Love all your packing videos! I hope you do the carry on video and how you un pack at a hotel!

[@14rkalra]

Updated 'What's in my carry-on" please! They are so helpful:) I love them!

[@clarec3]

This was so great! I agree you have a packing talent; very good ideas - thanks for taking he time for this fun, informative vid

[@dmkb1996]

Yes, I would love to see how your keep your items organized and unpack for a hotel vacation stay! Also, I have the most trouble deciding how much to bring and what to bring. More so when We go stay with my Mother-in-laws house. I tend to over pack for every trip! If you have any ideas, I would love to hear!

[@Shannonbookishlife]

yes for the carry on video

[@garfieldd2128]

Please do an in depth video about your toiletries bags, I'd love to see it!

[@DawnH123]

Vera Bradley travel nail case review, yes, yes please!

[@kfralix13]

I would love to see both of those videos

[@T.R.P25]

Ps:you really make miracles!you managed to fit a hug amount of things...you are awesome!!!

[@renajr76]

Please do an updated walking pharmacy and carry-on.

[@nicole0kalinowski]

I would love to see a more in depth look at your travel beauty product bags. I really enjoy packing but all the how-to videos or articles always skip over the toiletries. I like how you separate them in different bags ie nail polish, makeup, etc. I remember you did a video when you were actual on vacation and went through your makeup bag...maybe you could do that with all the "bathroom" stuff? I never request videos, but this one would really help. :)

[@dramamama2601]

HI Jen... RE: Tips for the Maid.... my husband and I leave a tip in the room when we check out instead of a separate tip for each day. I like doin ti though because I think most people do not. :-)

[@purpleryoko]

yes do an unpacking video / getting settled in the hotel room. Do you do an pre-cleaning? I always spray lysol on everything, no matter how clean the room is,

[@bodyshopgirl08]

instead of checking your smaller bag with the big bags, you should gate check them. its free and ends up in the belly of the plane anyway

[@abcdaphne]

I love all of your packing videos! How to unpack at the hotel and whats in my carry on bag both sound great. Happy traveling! :)

[@NiftyNoelle]

I am no future plans of travel and am not packing any bags any time soon...but your videos are just so captivating...Im watching it anyway! LOL xoxo

[@MizzFronce]

Yay ur coming to home state PA. Trust u will have fun here.

[@tiffanydhanks7206]

I was wondering if you could do a laundry storage organization video. My washer/dryer is in my Master Bath so I like to keep it all tucked away nice and neat but looking for some helpful organization hints.

[@beckabooz]

carry-on and unpacking video please! they never get old! love your videos jen! :)

[@averagealicey]

omg jen do you know how appreciative i am that you do these videos ahhh thank you so sososososoos much

[@hugheskm87]

I LOVE mickey and minnie on your dresser :)

[@SuperPVZFan221]

I'm interested in any video you decide to do. All are very helpful.

[@cendy2013]

I would love to see how you unpack at hotel and how you carry on your things as well! :)

[@mcsquared28]

Just got home from my own personal vacation in Illinois!

[@OurSimpleLoveStory]

Can you do a video about what to pack when traveling outside of the country? I'm planning a trip and that's the one thing that confounds me. :)

[@T.R.P25]

Yay!another great Jen's video!!!loooove

[@tammimarie]

Wow, that is more bags then I take for 3 weeks in Scotland

[@hannahmcdaniel5856]

This is awesome im about to be travelling back and forth to new mexico and louisiana and maybe california alot!

[@LMHB0907]

Not sure where in Pennyslvania you are going, but here In southwestern pennsylvania it is going to be in the high 80's (close to the 90's) all next week. Yes it is 'cooler' than Vegas, but the humidity is a killer! I was leaving from work last night at 11:30PM and it was downright NASTY outside...and it was only 78 degrees!

[@trish252002]

Yes carry on an unpack hotel

[@nikkincs]

Would love to see an unpacking video, updated "what's in my carry on" and especially the nail polish bag!

[@maryvangel]

Great video! I would like to see an unpacking video at a hotel too.

[@Clanbaniffe]

Dear Jen I love your videos, and I love the way you have to fly everywhere, how interesting. I live 5 hours drive from Scotland, 1 hour from Wales, 2 hours from Dorset and 3 hours from the Cornish border. All stunning places but boring car journeys.

[@nilandmusic]

Hi Jen, It'd be great to see another date Vlog, I really enjoyed those, and you haven't done one for aaaaggggesss! Have lots and lots of fun and enjoy Pennsylvania, sounds very exciting! XxxXXx

[@cassie5611]

Jen I seriously can watch your videos all day I love them, I just finished all of your vlogust videos and now I subscribed to this channel and winnies channel. I figured you would have a packing video which I was in need of one since my hubby and I are flying to Vegas Tues. I'm glad you did a packing video as well as a carry on I haven't flown on a plane in 18 years plus I was a little girl lol, anyways I watched your Vegas videos too and I'm glad I did because I got a few Ideas for our trip :)

[@abby2girls]

If you have been on a cruise, will you put a "How to pack for a cruise," video?

[@minkaminka2]

Can you do a gift wrap video? I always see your pretty gift wrap in the back and am curious how you wrap presents!

[@jessicasummerfield133]

Would LOVE to see a Vegas Vlog like the Disney one! :)

[@roxybabe818]

LOVE your packing videos

[@tishawilliamsproductions4577]

I would love to see how you unpack at a hotel....i love your tips.

[@csolley227]

I would love to see an unpacking video!

[@kawatann]

I love all of your packing videos. I am big fun of your channel. If you have a chance, would you please do your Eagle Creek collection video? Since I saw your videos, I am so interested in those, but unfortunately I am somewhere that I can't take a look at those in my hands.

[@TheGLOSSette]

love your packing videos.... I like how you are so organized. I know you are going for a week long trip but personally I would not bring as much stuff. That's just me. keep these travel videos coming :)

[@Imanthepeep]

That was excellent. Enjoy both trips Jen:) I am a crazy watch person too and I would love to see your collection if possible;) Thanks. Iman

[@sweetpo11]

Please show us how you fold the clothes for traveling!

[@StandardStars]

please do a carry-on video! I'm going on a trip soon and I'd love to see what you pack :)

[@dreamdesignmom]

I want your packet cubes!! You give great tips

[@tammimarie]

You are brave, I would never check my makeup! Have you thought about mixing up your stuff and your husbands in case only one bag goes missing? That's what we do so that if that happens one person isn't stuck with nothing. Otherwise good tips and I never get tired of packing videos. Have a great time!

[@14rkalra]

Oh and sorry to write a second comment, but you might be underestimating PA weather. Not sure where you are going, but it's really hot ( and humid) here in Philly!

[@halqraiti21]

I love packing videos. Keepum coming

[@TheHarlequinade]

I'm definitely another vote for unpacking! I went to Orlando last summer; I was away for two weeks and I lived out of my suitcase for that whole time. SHAMEFUL.

[@emmahayward2476]

Love your videos and hope you have a great trip
