PACKING

I like to lay out everything I am packing on my bed & take digital photos, which I keep in my phone as well as email to myself. Then I type the itemized list & print out 2 copies; one I keep with my travel documents in my purse & the other in my suitcase. If either of those go MIA then I always have a copy in my computer. The list speeds the process of notifying the airline and insurance company if your suitcase gets lost or stolen. Don’t forget to make a list of your medications including name of meds, purpose, doctor’s name and contact information, and prescription number. When packing to go home check everything off as you pack it so nothing gets left behind.
