"Hi, I'm Baiba from California Travel Agency, and I'm here to tell you some good tips, how to put your luggage on a diet. So, let's we start with your homework. First, you should do your homework, checking out your hotel, motel, or place where you are staying.

Try to check the temperature and events at the destination, so you can take just necessary things, and you don't need to carry on just in case things. I would advise you to wear your heaviest things, so like shoes, jackets and sweaters so you definitely don't need to put them in your suit case. And try to down size your toiletries, so you don't need to take all the big bottles, try to purchase travel values, or check if the destination already have some of them. And when you are coming back and unpacking, make sure to check the things which you didn't use at all, and which ones you didn't need, so next time you'll definitely know which things you don't need to take."
