First, lay your towel out flat on the floor, and smooth out wrinkles. On one of the shorter sides, fold 3-4 inches of the towel under the edge. Then, fold both long sides of the towel into the middle. From the other short side, start rolling the towel. Smooth out any bulges as they come, and roll tightly. Once you have rolled up all the way, wrap the pocket created by the excess you folded over around the roll to secure it. As a bonus, you can roll up swimsuits and other shower/beach items within the towel for simple access and packing! Diane Leigh ID1675 - To avoid worries about lost or damaged luggage, travel with only one rolling carry-on and back pack per person. Your laptop/netbook, all travel documentation, medications, digital camera, purse, and other valuables stay in the backpack with you at all times. The carry-on only contains clothing and other non-valuables ... No waiting at the luggage carousel, no lost luggage, no excess of items. Bring one pair of white or black pants and a number of shirts with various sleeve lengths that coordinate with it. One dress or dressy outfit, and one pair of shoes that go with the pants AND dresssy outfit. Whether it's a week or a weekend, doing laundry once at your location allows such light travel. Wear all shirts you take two to three times. Nobody else will notice or care! Michelle ID2174 - Small, sturdy, combination locks are best for quick access to your luggage. Keys get lost; a simple combination number that you set is quick and easy, no fumbling for key, etc. Richard Stegemeier ID761 - When traveling to a destination where I know I will doing a lot of shopping, I pack a collapsible suitcase or duffel bag in my checked luggage. It doesn't take up much room and when returning home, I fill it with my dirty laundry and pack my new stuff or any breakable items in my regular suitcase. Or you could just pack your things in a medium suitcase that fits inside a larger suitcase - either way you'll have two suitcases available and only have to carry one to your destination. Kyra Achee ID234 - If you must take valuables like cameras etc. (especially when flying), then pack them in a diaper bag. It's less likely to be stolen and many of them have outer pockets that you can slip other things into like your itinerary, snacks, change, etc. The bottle holders are great for bottled water. Some of these bags are better designed for organization than some expensive luggage I've seen.
