-If you roll your cloths, they will take up less room.
-You can buy a travel bottle of Downy Wrinkler Releaser at Wal-Mart for $1.50 to help with the wrinkles after arrival.
-Instaed of taking big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, toohpaste, washing powders, etc. you can buy travel sizes which are usually $1.00 or less for each item and they save on space.
-Only take one jacket.
-Take one sweat shirt, in case it gets a little dirty it's okay.
-Take one nice sweater/thick long sleved shirt and save it for when you need something that looks good and that is warm.
-Count out how many days you are going to be gone and that is how many t-shirts you need. Only take two extra shirts. You can probably wear a couple of the shirts more than once.
-Take two pairs of dress paints, if you have them.
-Take half as many jeans as many days that you are going to be gone.
=Like if you are going to be gone for 8 days, then only take 4 pairs of jeans. They are durable, and slight stains barely show. You can buy travel Shout it Out Wipes at Wal-Mart to have when you really have the NEED to get a pretty good spot stain out of your jeans.I think it is a 4 peice packet for $2.00 here at the Wal-Mart.
It's a bit pricey, but they would be good to have if you needed it.
-If you have a small hair dryer, then take that one instead of the large one you may usually use. Don't take extras like curling irons, hot rollers, benders, flat irons. They aren't going to do you any good if you don't use them. Chances are, you aren't going to use all of them every day.
-Hope this helps.
