Packing Tip #11 and #12

#11 If you are traveling with your spouse or a close friend I recommend cross-packing. This means that you pack half of your personal things and half of your travel companion's things in your luggage and pack the other half of both of your things in their luggage. Since there is always the chance that the airline may lose your luggage you will have much better odds with this packing method to at least end up with some of your stuff!!

#12 To help save room when traveling with children, I suggest packing your kid's shoes inside adult shoes. Another space saving tip is to stuff other little things inside your shoes, such as a small shampoo bottle or your jewelry!
