TRAVEL TIP OF THE WEEK

Wendys_tip_of_week Flying with a spouse or friend?  Pack a couple of changes of clothing in each other's suitcases. That way, if the airline loses one of them -- and these days an unprecedented amount of luggage is getting lost -- you each avoid the worst-case scenario of arriving at your destination with no clothes.

Comments

That is an excellent tip! Had I done that on my honeymoon in Thailand, I would not have had to wear the same outfit for two days.

ugh. What a great idea, and why didn't I think of that? I didn't have luggage for my entire trip to Africa a couple of years ago. What I learned is that agonizing over what you pack is completely over-rated!
