Tip #3: Zip Locks

Tip #3: Zip Lock baggies of various sizes
I always bring a stash of zip locks with me on every trip. Especially when traveling to countries like Thailand and India, having these on hand can make life so easy.
Quart size:
  1. Of course you need one qt size with all you carry on liguids (3-1-1).
  2. Jewelry
  3. Tissues for your day pack
  4. Organize electrical cords for my computer and camera
  5. IF you have checked luggage, be sure to put any liguid in a baggie-there is always a chance it will leak on route
  6. Packing trash

Gallon size:

  1. I pack my clothes in these. Less weight than the mesh bags found at luggage stores. Easy to organize t-shirts, undies, socks, scarves, ect... And, you can press out all the air so they become very compressed-allowing more room in you luggage (especially useful if you are traveling with only a carry on).
  2. Shoes
  3. Wet bathing suit
  4. Dirty laundry
  5. Organizing treasures for your return home

I never seem to have enough baggies on hand. Bring at least 6 of each size, including sandwich bags that are handy when you are backpacking and you need to carry your soap from guest house to guest house.
