I have one permanent packing list that has everything on it I could possibly want for a trip. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! posted by nayantara to Travel & Transportation (41 answers total) 22 users marked this as a favorite I have long suspected that I have executive function issues (outside of work) and that's probably not helping.
I know people who are genius at packing and they just can't explain it to me, they are just efficient and diligent. What has changed since then for border crossing purposes due to the pandemic? Is there anything in particular I need to remember to bring/do to get into Canada now? Does anyone have any tips to make packing easier? I don't want to end up with a suitcase that weighs 100 pounds.Īlso, the last time we went to Canada was 2019. This is a longish trip with three stops, including a border crossing. I have tried just walking around the closet and bathroom grabbing things.
I have tried tackling one category of items at a time. I have to account for the weather, for different types of outfits (comfy car ride clothes, appropriate clothing for doing lots of walking/exploring including footwear, nicer outfits for dinners out including footwear), toiletries (including shampoo bc I have colored hair and hotel shampoo is not sulfate-free), medications, my hairstyling tools (I do not have wash and wear hair so it's either blow dry/flat iron or wear hats), PASSPORT AND VAX CARD to enter Canada, and probably other stuff that's good to have that I never think of until I realize I need it during the vacation itself. We leave on Sunday for a road trip - Portland ME, Quebec, Montreal, home. They are still brilliant for removing the air so they’re a great, simple and cost-effective option.We live in upstate NY, nearish to Albany and also to the VT border. The fact that they don’t have a pump means there’s nothing technical that could go wrong with them and there’s nothing extra to pack (and potentially forget to pack!) They don’t remove as much air but this means your clothes aren’t quite as creased so for many people these will be a better option. While they aren’t quite as effective as vacuum bags with a pump, they are still perfectly suited to travelling – possibly even better for travelling. These roll up compression bags don’t have a pump at all and you remove the air by rolling them up and squeezing the air out before sealing them.
Yes, you can! Vacuum sealed bags are great for travelling because they save so much space in your luggage.Īnd vacuum bags can be used without a vacuum cleaner to suck the air out – so you don’t need to worry about finding a vacuum cleaner when you’re on holiday! All of the vacuum bags I’ve mentioned in this post do not need a vacuum cleaner!Įven if you will have access to a vacuum cleaner, I wouldn’t recommend buying vacuum bags that rely on a vacuum cleaner to remove the air. Can you use a vacuum sealed bag for travelling?
