Loving this thread, some great travel tips.
I'll be travelling to the US and spending a week in Las Vegas, San Diego and LA before embarking on a 6 nights cruise to Vancouver then spending 3 nights there before flying home so need to include lighter and warmer clothes so plan on doing laundry in San Diego and on the ship or wait until in Vancouver as our suite hotel has a washing machine and tumble dryer in our suite.
I need to get a new lightweight dressy black trousers and have a number of dressy tops to pair with it. I'll wear my trainers travelling, pack a dressy flat black pair and flat sandals. I stuff packed shoes with socks to utilise space and it helps the shoes keep their shape. I use hotel shower caps to cover shoes to keep everything clean.
I pack travel size toiletries and have mini clear plastic bottles and tubs to decant my regular products and keep in a toiletry bag along with sachets of dioralyte, plasters, compeed blister plasters and cold sore patches, tweezers and travel size hairbrush toothpaste and toothbrush.
I line my luggage with plastic bags and have kept the clear plastic bags clothes are returned in from the dry cleaners to pack outfits in as it reduces creases.
