How to Pack a Suitcase before a Vacation

When it comes to a Great Vacation you need to make sure that you have your suitcase packed with everything. Here are some fast steps to help you get ready for that amazing vacation.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Suitcase
• Clothes
• Vacation or Destination

1. 
    

   Start with longer garments such as pants or long dresses and lay the wides end flush against the side of the suitcase. Place another alongside and then reverse the process. You should have two long garments hanging out of the suitcase at each end. This is just on way to save some time before you leave on vacation.

2. 
    

   Place your folded shirts or sweaters on top of these garments. Make sure you take the time to fold them all neatly. You do not want to show up on your vacation with wrinkled clothes, especially if its for a Business Meeting.

3. 
    

   Fold the long hanging clothing over the folded items until all the longer items are fully in your suitcase. Everything remains in place and the cushioning from the foled clothing keeps wrinkles at bay.

4. 
    

   Using Large Ziplock bags are the handiest invention for dividing up small items like Jewelry. They are also great to put liquids in if you have to go on a Airline.
