Travel Essentials (Vacation)

[@lisah4425]

For something a little bigger than the yellow cup for a bedside tray, use a collapsible pet bowl. Love your channel, Laurie!

[@marlenabaker9894]

When I travel I use an Ipsy bag for all my nightine/bedside needs

[@sherryschumacher1881]

I haven't used it yet, but for my next trip I'm planning on bringing the top/lid from a peanut butter jar; depending on the brand, they come in red, yellow and blue.

[@vcjtx]

If you're in a hotel that has the paper covers over the top of the glasses use that for your bedside "stuff". Just take one off of the cup and turn it up for a tiny tray.

Love your tips and can’t wait for my vacation. Somethings I do for traveling- packing neatly and using packing cubes has been great as I go to my destination. Coming home, I use one or two of my packing cubes for dirty clothes and consolidate any clean clothes in the remaining cubes. I fold the dirty clothes the same way I would clean clothes so that all of my stuff easily fits again for the return home trip and maybe still have some extra room if I’ve purchased something. My other tip is to use some plastic containers to store my cosmetics in, that are already in ziploc bags. We like places with mini kitchenettes and sometimes these kitchenettes don’t have enough storage containers for left over food that we’ve either cooked are brought leftovers back from a restaurant so I use my plastic containers for food. Kitchenette refrigerators can be small. Added bonus you are double sealing anything that is liquid in your suitcase. Thanks again for sharing all your great tips!

[@bluegumbo6014]

I’m looking for a new rolling carry-on and confused about dimensions. The bag in your link (super lightweight!) shows overall dimensions larger than the allowable 22 x 14 x 10. Should I be looking at case dimensions or overall dimensions (which includes wheels and handle)? P. S. I take a dollar store frisbee to put on my nightstand for my phone, jewelry, flashlight, room keycard, etc. It’s light and takes no space in my bag

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

Airline restriction measurements refer to overall dimensions, so the Travelpro Maxlite 4 & 5 22-inch are in fact bigger than the 22x14x9 that many airlines technically allow, while the 19-inch Maxlite 4 and 20-inch Maxlite 5 are not. Would be interested to hear from Laurie how hers fits in the overhead bin, since sometimes even if something is slightly bigger than "allowed", it will still fit okay, but other times it won't.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Love your tips Laurie! For your Apple Watch, pre COVID when I traveled within the US I would ask TSA every time if I had to take my watch off and they would say no. Not sure if anything has changed or if this changes when arriving at another country.

[@SnowySpiritRuby]

I didn't have to take my watch off for security when flying domestically back in August/September. Not sure whether anything has changed like that since then (I very highly doubt it - it wasn't before, and the situation is better now than it was then, so probably not), or whether other countries have rules that say otherwise - it would show up on the AIT scan screen as something on the wrist, and I know that it won't alarm the metal detector unless it has a lot of metal in/on it (at least that's my guess, since mine doesn't alarm it and it's a smaller digital Timex Expedition, so it has some metal but not a lot); my glasses (all-metal frames) don't alarm the AIT or metal detector. In the past, I never ran into a time where I had to take my watch off when entering another country, and I've done that 5 times in the last 6 years (all prior to last year).

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie I haven't personally, but the rest of my family has, and my grandpa and one of my uncles both owned one (not sure whether my uncle still does, or what happened to my grandpa's balloon). Ballooning was really big in my dad's family, big enough that one of my dad's brothers and some of his classmates built a completely functional full size one in high school as a science fair project (I'm told that the judges ended up disqualifying them because they refused to believe that teenagers could actually do it themselves - if they had known what my grandpa did for a living, they would have known my uncle and his friends were more than capable of it), and both my grandpa and uncle piloted it in various events later on. The only time there was even a remote possibility of me being able to go up in one (my grandpa's), I was only 2 or 3, and my parents wouldn't let me, while my older sister got to go up with my grandpa on the tether, and he gave my mom and actual ride. That was the only time I was ever up close in person to a balloon, so I'm really excited for the festival.

(Using husband’s link) I took two hand towels and sewed them on three sides so that I could slip it onto the airplane tray table. It created a nonslip surface and would pick up any spills.

Pack Tide sink packets (some off brands are also in the detergent aisle if can't get amazon delivered on time) to wash 3-5 kid shirts in sink.

Hello, be careful on that I Pod clasp. I have several on different items. The one opened up and I almost lost the item. I use scotch tape so it stays on. Love your tips and tricks The items in this video needed to look into.

Hi Gail. What ipod care you talking about? Thanks!

[@helengreen6724]

Another great vlog! I'm practicing with my new Bogg bag at Edisto Beach & finally found shampoo bars at TJMax~ My carry on has gotten lighter, BUTT I'm heavier...time to walk it off and so thankful they don't weigh us at TSA. I'm thinking that blush colored ear bud container will go great with blush "Vera" .... hello Aullie!

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh, love Bogg bags but don't have one yet! Glad y'all had a great vacay!

Hello Laura I love all your videos great tips I am flying for the 1st time to Houston in may am a little nervous

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Oh nice! You're being smart. Don't miss my tips for first time flying and how to go through airport security line.

Susteau makes a powder shampoo and powder conditioner - just a tiny bit lathers up well- and I use them as my regular at-home hair care. Haven't travelled in awhile but it would be quite the space saver.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh, that would help so much!

Aulliver, you've stolen my heart 💜

[@carmenirizarry7632]

This was wonderful! I bought the mask cases the last time you posted them. They are very good for your purse also. Thank you for all the great ideas. The Iwatch charger is not available right now. I’ll be waiting for it to come back! Thanks!

Thank you Carmen!

Thank you for the tip on the Ecco travel shoes. I was able to score a pair on sale for $70.00

That is awesome! From Nordstrom or where? I'll add a link for that store.

Buying the pack for trip to AZ this month. Taking my lil fur baby so I was looking for something to accommodate my travel stuff since Lulu counts as a carryon. I think it’ll work great for me. Luckily I’m staying with my sis so I can use a lot of her stuff 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Also picked up a few more of your recommendations 💕

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

EEEEK have fun with Lulu!! Thank you for watching!

Put your wire cords and power banks in a toiletry bag which has plastic pockets in double zippered sections.

Thanks for watching this!

[@TheresaWagar]

Hey Laurie, I’ve had an Apple Watch for many years. I’ve never needed to take it off I through airport security. I’m so glad you got one. They make life so much easier and I feel a bit like Dick Tracey. Lol. You do deserve one :). Thanks so much for you pr insight. I have a list for our trip next week

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

I feel so professional with it on lol. Now if I could stop erasing all my reminders...

[@trishanolan4990]

I was wondering if you could do a video on all of the recommendations you found helpful in the comment section. I don’t always have the time to go back and read all of the suggestions given by viewers but I would love to hear the top 20 best recommendations given by your subscribers.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

That's a great idea! So the best recommendations for what things?

[@trishanolan4990]

@@TravelTipsbyLaurie honestly, it could be a video on the best top 20 recommendations from viewers you have received while doing your channel. Another idea is maybe group the suggestion in regards to a trip, ie, best recommendations for a family trip (such as best restaurants, packing, snacks, hotels, etc). Another option is the best recommendations for a girls only trip (best place to stay, spas, outdoor activities, luggage, gifts to give friends going on the trip). It could almost be a series on your channel due to all of the recommendations you get from viewers...so many ways to use the recommendations. I would love to see a series on viewer recommendations but these are only my thoughts and hopes on what to see...😉😁

[@obragg1]

I had some of those soap sheets when I was a kid (60 years ago). Everything old is new again! LOL. Although the skort is cute, I always wear pants on the plane. If there’s ever (heaven forbid) a fire, pants will help protect your legs.

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Ooh yes, I'll never wear a skirt because I will freeze chances are.

[@LovelyLiss]

Loving the hair Laurie! 😍😘

[@courtneymiller9785]

Love all your videos! Just flew spirit last week and they do not give you an antibacterial wipe. They have some if you ask I believe. (Budget, I know haha) Also! Just found a hard sided suitcase that fits perfectly for the free personal item for spirit, frontier and jet blue! It’s from target and it’s called the American Tourister Hardside Underseat Carry On Suitcase. I can’t wait to use it! I needed a backpack on my last flight. Just me and my 4 year old so I needed two hands 🙂

[@TravelTipsbyLaurie]

Whew yes!! Oh that's great you found that one! Thanks for your feedback; I've recommended your bag to several. You should do a youtube channel on flying spirit.
