\n1. Zip-Lock It Up\u00a0<\/strong>submitted by Patty B.<\/em><\/p>\n

Patty suggests packing like-minded items within large, labeled zip-lock bags. All socks in one bag, all shorts in another, etc. Says Patty: \u201cSince we never totally unpack, I just pull out the bag I need. It\u2019s much neater and faster.\u201d<\/p>\n

We agree, Patty. This is a great tip for tours that travel to multiple cities.<\/p>\n

2. Throw As You Go\u00a0<\/strong>submitted by Pamela D.<\/em><\/p>\n

Essentially, Pamela suggests packing clothes that have already been removed from your regular rotation, then discarding them while on tour in order to \u201cmake more room for items bought on the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shop on, fashion-first travelers. Shop on.<\/p>\n

3. Keep It Clean<\/strong>\u00a0submitted by Pamela D.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another great travel tip from Pamela: pack a couple of dryer sheets in your suitcase. We agree that this is a great way to keep clothes feeling fresh, clean and always ready to wear\u2014all without taking up any additional space in your luggage.<\/p>\n

4. Feed the Wolves<\/strong>\u00a0submitted by Michelle D.<\/em><\/p>\n

As teachers, we know you\u2019ve witnessed your students\u2019 voracious appetites up close during class. Well, we can\u2019t imagine what they must be like if they\u2019re not fed during a long flight, bus or train ride. That\u2019s why we think Michelle D. is right on when she reminds students to bring granola or protein bars with them on tour.<\/p>\n

Keep their appetites at bay to keep your tour on track.<\/p>\n

5. Be Adaptable\u00a0<\/strong>submitted by Pamela M.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re traveling between the U.S. and Canada, you\u2019re all set.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, be sure to find out whether you\u2019ll need a travel adaptor to use electronic devices at your tour\u2019s destinations. Deborah M. suggests giving your students info up front about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of adaptors and converters. She notes \u201cAll my girls fried their (hair) straighteners recently, even with the converter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
