Packing organisation

This is the time of year where lots of you will have booked some time off and going on your travels and thought I would write a short blog on travel organization.

I have found a great packing organization YouTube video which gives some good quick tips (see the following link).

When packing for a trip try always create a list of all the items you are planning on taking, and separate them into 2 categories.

- Essentials (Toiletries, Underwear, passport, travel documents etc).
- Non essentials (Your iPad or MP3 player, your fancy non everyday shoes).

Then go through the essential items first and then check the space you have left and then add some non essentials.

Please remember some of the non essentials can go into your hand luggage such as a book which you may want to have on hand anyway to read something whilst you are travelling.

The items such as your travel documents, passport, keys, money and mobile phone should always be on you all the time, as you will need to get them at the train station and/or at the airport.

Any toiletries must be less than 100ml to be within your hand luggage, in a see through bag and resealable, and be one plastic see through bag per person.
Here is a link which gives more regulations in regards to toiletry restrictions when travelling by air.

There is nothing worse then forgetting and then you are embarrassingly searched, and even though it was an innocent mistake you always get that suspicious look from the guards and you can't help but feel guilty. Not a good way to start your holiday.

Happy Easter everyone.
Many thanks for reading.
