For years, I've been packing my shoes in the plastic bags that clothes are individually packaged in when I order them online. Each shoe (not pair) gets it's own bag so I can line the bottom sides of my suitcase with them. Works beautifully, they're free & I love having another use for these bags instead of just tossing them in the trash.
The most important accessory for me (I have very fair skin) is a sunhat. I have a fabulous hat that collapses into itself and packs flat. Best invention ever!
Hey Laurie, Instead of bandaids for spots on feet when shoes that rub, use rigid strapping tape. My dancer daughter gave me that tip. It sticks much better and you can make it as long as you need to keep it sticking too.
Laurie, I did the “shakey shakey” trick this morning once my backpack was filled. Gave me enough room at the top to put my husband’s rolled up windbreaker in there! Thanks for that tip!
Thank you, Laurie🤗 After watching this I am getting warm weather fever. It’s 36° here😂 I ordered your sunglass case, Lambskin pocket bags, Waterproof wet bags. I have the cell phone thermal case, towel clips and cup holders saved for later. I do not think at 36° I will need them anytime soon. 🤣🤦♀️ Thank you… Enjoy your journey in life and please keep sharing your valuable travel tips.
I take moleskin for blister prevention (or when you have one). This was recommended to my daughter when she was entering boot camp, and it's served our family for years. Thanks for all the tips! This one was filled with them!
Hi. For sunscreen, sticks are a great option to lessen the amount of liquids. Always take sunscreen with you. It’s always more expensive at the beach. Also a coco butter stick is a great alternative for “liquid” lotion.
Hey Laurie - another great video & SO timely, as tomorrow, we leave for TWO weeks to Playa del Carmen. Your tip for not having to pack shoes together is a TOTAL game changer, as both the hubs & I are sharing a large checked suitcase & his shoes are big. I separated them into different bags & shoved into the rounded corners of the suitcase & WHAT a difference! Also, wanted to mention how great your tip was - last year - when we went away for 2 weeks as well to Mexico & I used the "open up the ironing board to use as a secondary large shelf" trick to help me as there is not much room for storage in the hotel. I'll be using that again tomorrow when unpacking! ;) Thanks for such awesome tips, tricks & common sense advice. :)
Wonderful as always Laurie! I may not be going on a beach vacation any time soon but there are 2 products I’ll definitely be getting: the scalp SPF spray & the Trader Joe’s facial SPF cream. As a “woman of a certain age” I have super-short white hair & very fair skin so they’ll be invaluable on my daily power walks in the summer. Thanks so much for all of your of your travel tips!
Great tips! This Spring Break we'll be in the Pacific Northwest! 😅 Average high of 59° Farenheit!!! I'll use some of these tips for our next vacay to Grenada!
Hi, Laurie! I have been watching your videos for a while and have always loved the shorts you share. I recently lost a good bit of weight and needed shorts for summer. I ordered all 5 available colors from Nordstrom Rack and I just got them today. I’m so excited for warmer weather so I can use them! Thanks for sharing your finds!
Hi Laurie. Just got back from a trip today. Bought that shampoo/soap bar bag based on your recommendation. It is amazing how well it works. Thanks for the tip!
My daughter uses Korean beauty products. She recommended Round Lab sunscreen for the face. It’s excellent, not sticky and doesn’t smell. I have very sensitive skin and allergies.
I have been thinking about that b/c I did that to Belgium. I did end up joining a group so that is a great place to start. What are the main fears or questions you would search for?
Hey Laurie! Just found your channel. These are some really great tips. We're not traveling far from home for Spring break but you did remind me of something I do need to remember for when we go to the beach or the lake. Also I noticed your in the Houston area to LOL Nice to meet a fellow Houstonian 😁👋
Hi, Laurie. In the U.S., and in other countries, prescribed narcotics, prescribed controlled drugs of any kind MUST be in their own prescription bottles. We've addressed this before. Most places will detain first, question later. In fact, my bestie and I were leaving Mexico, and she was detained at customs. Her Vicodin was, thankfully, in the bottle. If they weren't, she'd have been in serious trouble. They detained her for a long time. VERY scary. She was suddenly gone. Not a risk worth taking. Most ethical doctors and pharmacists will inform people accordingly.
I love your videos!! The Matador soap/shampoo bar bag are magic! I bought all kit, but now, I just travel with this one too! And all my creams I put in old Contact Lenses cases! I do have also the Nomad Lane Tote, but I think is the first version. I am experiement this tote vor my travels and I think it will be my oficial Personal Bag from now on. And I am reducing my travel luggage with a lot of your tips. And, like you, I also travel with the caviat from Standby.
I have that makeup bag from Scout. I love it. You use the side pockets more than you think. One side I put my brushes. The other side I put my brow items. So convenient. 👍
Hi Laurie! I have been watching your channel for some time.....And I watched one of your videos that spotlighted a mini travel first aid kit. For the life of me I can't locate a link to that Amazon find. Can you help me out with that link. MUCH appreciated. PS...Keep up the GREAT JOB of sharing with us.
We loved Secrets (The Vine is newest that we stayed in) in Cancun and in Puerta Vallarta is a hotel all inclusive that was totally fine for a 3 day for us: Hotel Ziva.
Try the city of Merida it's in the Yucatan Peninsula. What a wonderful city to visit, one of the jewels of a serene safe city in the whole country of Mexico. Try a RUclips video, you'll fall in love!
Cut the shampoo bars. You don't need to take the whole thing. Same if you like bar soap. You can also use a badge holder clip for hats. As long as you don't mind the clip.
Ha! You must not wear progressives! I would need a triple glasses case! Neutrogena Faces is my favorite sunscreen! Also, wear your tennies for walking and pack a pair of flip flops for the beach!
Hi Laurie, this isn’t about a beach, more about cables on a plane. I always have a power bank, a magnetic one and additional cables with me. If I need to use the plug in cable for my phone or tablet, it’s impossible to keep a US prong plug in place. Every one of the plane outlets cannot hold the prongs. They’re loose, the prongs fall out and it becomes a challenge trying to get power to a device. I always make certain all devices are fully charged prior to boarding. But on a long flight eventually I have to use the outlet. Do you have an idea or a hack that could work?
You could...pack blue tap to keep it in the socket. I have had some stripped outlets too. I always have my charger just in case. Mine has enough juice to charge twice: amzn.to/3OH2oec
Hi Laurie, been watching your videos for some time now and, have learned so much. Thank you I was wondering if you or any followers know anything about traveling to Mexico with your pet. I'm a bit confused on returning home with my dog. Do I need to get a health certificate from a Mexican vet before I go home with my dog? I know that going to Mexico you no longer have to have one but, not sure on coming home. Thank you for any information you can give. Fran
Hi Fran. It may be in your airline's info. I would search their rules. But in Mexico, if you are on an American airline, they should have contracted employees there. But research that airline + in-cabin pets.
I may have said this in this video or the previous one, but I think I may be a tote bag gal. I am loving this bag! I thought I would never be turned from backpacks. I think I can fit more in the gray backpack? The fabric, the smushy-ness, the light fabric...and how it feels easy to throw over my arm...I love it.
Hi Debbie and welcome. I have a Lush store near me-not online. You could call them; there are some brands on Amazon but I have drier scalp so I went in and boy oh boy do they know their stuff.
Hi! Thanks for responding! Unfortunately we don't have a Lush store nearby. Do you know of any other bar shampoo and conditioner that your followers buy that is great for airplane travel and that they are happy with?@@TravelTipsbyLaurie
Embarrassing female question for you. If I am bringing carry-on only, but need Replens moisture applications, how can I bring enough without going over the maximum for liquids? I would buy at my destination, but am unsure if I can buy this in S. Korea. 😢
So an oversized purse is about the size airlines allow now? If I add the height, width, and length and it equals (or smaller than) the airlines height, width, length is that safe? My point/question is it can be a little hard to find a personal carry on in the *exact dimension* the airlines allows.
My husband has used this for years b/c the flapping thing easily magnetizes when drinking so it doesn't flap back down on your face if that makes sense: bit.ly/49cZeXA
Laurie - can you advise about sunscreen? We normally use one that is an aerosol because my family is allergic to many sunscreens. Normally drive. Flying this time and concerned about it exploding. Doesn’t make sense to have it delivered bc we are literally gone for 2 days. Will it explode if checked?
My mother just flew from West Virginia to Florida and they made her check her backpack or carry on the flight attendant told her it was a new rules. She flew allegiant airline.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Oops, I thought I was commenting on your short clip “Tips for hats on vacation” but somehow landed here on your full video “Spring break 2024”. Anyway, curious if you had a packing tip or hack (besides just wearing it) for a hat that is not foldable, has a stiff rim. No worries if none. Thanks always!
Hey! On these videos I can put links but not the vertical ones. Okay so pack the hat upside down and fill it with things that would fit that shape like a dress, a bra and socks.@@jrs2024
I’ve never had an issue with packing individual lens wipes in my personal item bag as they don’t count as liquids. A tip is if it retains its shape out of its tube or pkg, it’s not classified as a liquid.
Hi Laurie 👋 tfs ❤ Wonderful tips as always 🎉 the phone protective case, what a great idea. My phone gets hot 🔥 all the time. The sunscreen spray for scalp is great 👍 i need to pick that up for my cancer head... my head and hair get sooooo hot that i dont always like to wear a hat or cover it. Love tbe idea of scalp spray. Beats the goopy sunscreen cream ive been using. Lol 😀
Shorts waist shows on model low waist, below belly button. Not for me. It would purchase if was mid or high waist not for me below waist or navel showing. Thanks

The most important accessory for me (I have very fair skin) is a sunhat. I have a fabulous hat that collapses into itself and packs flat. Best invention ever!
Oh that's a great item for the beach! If it can smush and squish, I love packing those essentials.
Shower caps to cover my shoes has been a game changer! I get a group of 10 from Dollar Tree and just toss them or reuse them for my next trip.
Great tip!
Hey Laurie, Instead of bandaids for spots on feet when shoes that rub, use rigid strapping tape. My dancer daughter gave me that tip. It sticks much better and you can make it as long as you need to keep it sticking too.
Thanks sooooo much!
I love the Dr. Scholls shoe padding tape (that comes in a dispenser). I just use super glue to make sure it lasts.
Laurie, I did the “shakey shakey” trick this morning once my backpack was filled. Gave me enough room at the top to put my husband’s rolled up windbreaker in there! Thanks for that tip!
Oh wow! Glad to know!
I really like the towel bands instead of towel clips. Less space usage in the luggage.
For me I returned them surprisingly. They also seemed rubbery.
The outer zipper on your tote is such an essential 👍🏾
I need quick access in airport security and in the plane.
I’ve switched from towel clips to the bands. So compact!
I tried the bands and returned them. They seemed too rubbery for me
AS ALWAYS, you never disappoint. Laurie you are the BEST! I look forward to your videos!!
You're the best!
As a woman with alopecia I really love that head sunscreen idea. Thank you for sharing that.
Great ideas all through your video. Love it.
I buy Dollar tree shower caps and I put my shoes in them. It’s great!
Thank you, Laurie🤗 After watching this I am getting warm weather fever. It’s 36° here😂 I ordered your sunglass case, Lambskin pocket bags, Waterproof wet bags. I have the cell phone thermal case, towel clips and cup holders saved for later. I do not think at 36° I will need them anytime soon. 🤣🤦♀️
Thank you… Enjoy your journey in life and please keep sharing your valuable travel tips.
Ha! I’m so ready again. Check the thermal case because it’s also for extremely cold temps for when you snow ski.
Love these tips especially about the heat protector for the phone
It’s the coolest thing! I’ve had it for 2 years!
Dresses that "hide the free buffet" is my new favorite way to describe certain clothes!
Beach cup tip : Just turn your sandals sole up in the sand, next to each other.
Thanks! I am so ready for Spring Break.
Thank you for the great tips
You are so welcome!
I love the tip where you put make up removal on cotton!!!!! I will do that in my next trip. Thanks
Thanks going soon. Appreciate your thoughts, very thorough & thoughtful!
Glad it was helpful!
I take moleskin for blister prevention (or when you have one). This was recommended to my daughter when she was entering boot camp, and it's served our family for years. Thanks for all the tips! This one was filled with them!
I do have moleskin-forgot about that! It is in my toiletry kit pocket.
I was convinced to switch to the towel band. It takes up zero room and arguably works even better. 😀
I did not care for the ones I bought-they seemed too rubbery.
Hi. For sunscreen, sticks are a great option to lessen the amount of liquids. Always take sunscreen with you. It’s always more expensive at the beach. Also a coco butter stick is a great alternative for “liquid” lotion.

Ooh, I forgot about that one. Need to share it again. Have a blast!
After all the cold weather, it was nice thinking about the beach! Great tips, as always. ✅
Yes! Thank you!
Laurie this was very helpful!! especially the scalp sunscreen!!!
For Spring Break trips I can easily get sunburnt so I agree that it's a must-have.
Great video. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it! Are you traveling over Spring Break?
Love love love your updates and wonderful current ideas that you share with us!
The tips in this video are so helpful for everyone!
Wonderful as always Laurie! I may not be going on a beach vacation any time soon but there are 2 products I’ll definitely be getting: the scalp SPF spray & the Trader Joe’s facial SPF cream. As a “woman of a certain age” I have super-short white hair & very fair skin so they’ll be invaluable on my daily power walks in the summer.
Thanks so much for all of your of your travel tips!
It’s great and I loved that it did not feel like hair spray. I know the video was awkward😂 of him spraying my head.
Great travel tips! Hey from a fellow Houstonian, west side (sounds so gangsta!😁)! I watch all your videos!
Great tips! This Spring Break we'll be in the Pacific Northwest! 😅 Average high of 59° Farenheit!!! I'll use some of these tips for our next vacay to Grenada!

Ooh, warm weather sounds wonderful! Awesome tips Laurie !
Hi Laurie. Just got back from a trip today. Bought that shampoo/soap bar bag based on your recommendation. It is amazing how well it works. Thanks for the tip!
It's so good!
I love my Nomad Lane Bento bag. Packing it up now for a few days away in San Diego and Coronado Island. Great tips, thanks!
Have fun! Is it the newer Bento or the original version? It holds so much! But the new one’s fabric is so luxe!
I have the newest Bento (version 4) and it’s really nice. Love the added cup holder!
My daughter uses Korean beauty products. She recommended Round Lab sunscreen for the face. It’s excellent, not sticky and doesn’t smell. I have very sensitive skin and allergies.
Thanks for sharing!!
Wow the half slip brought me way back! 😂
Ha!
Great tips. Thanks! Going to Amazon now.
I love your channel. How about information on traveling solo, if you have time. My husband and family have all died leaving me as a solo traveler.
I have been thinking about that b/c I did that to Belgium. I did end up joining a group so that is a great place to start. What are the main fears or questions you would search for?
Thank you Laurie!❤ These videos inspire me to travel more! Cancun sounds great!

I've never packed my meds in the original bottles. Never had a problem
thanks for sharing. I really like TJ sunscreen. IDK they were sold through amazon!!! I don't have a trader joe near me
I do not have one near me either. I included the link in the pinned first comment.
I can also recommend the beach bag and pouches from the Aloha Collection. We’ve booked Bahamas for Spring Break.

Laurie, love your videos! Have you ever mentioned zipper locks for luggage and carryons? Maybe you did and I missed it. They are great!
Hi, I just mentioned similar in my Europe video. Do you use the ones that lock specifically or hook your zippers?
The ones that hook your zippers so a casual thief can't open the bag while you're sleeping or something. @@TravelTipsbyLaurie

Cut the shampoo bars. You don't need to take the whole thing. Same if you like bar soap.
You can also use a badge holder clip for hats. As long as you don't mind the clip.
I have also tried shaving them. But cutting is a great option.

Love the Nomad Lane, love the light interior, sadly not in my budget. Anyone have an option?
You could search Lily and Drew, but they can be really cheap on the outside.

I have not.

I think you can get a prescription version, sorry don't remember the name. Rx liquids do not follow 311 rule.

Yes some airlines have gotten so strict-it’s usually the ones in other countries.
Do you have a recommendation for a good water bottle
My husband has used this for years b/c the flapping thing easily magnetizes when drinking so it doesn't flap back down on your face if that makes sense: bit.ly/49cZeXA
Laurie - can you advise about sunscreen? We normally use one that is an aerosol because my family is allergic to many sunscreens. Normally drive. Flying this time and concerned about it exploding. Doesn’t make sense to have it delivered bc we are literally gone for 2 days. Will it explode if checked?
Hi spray can be checked. www.tsa.gov and in top right corner tap What Can I Bring. Then type in aerosol.
My mother just flew from West Virginia to Florida and they made her check her backpack or carry on the flight attendant told her it was a new rules. She flew allegiant airline.
Hmmm that sounds awful.
Wait, this clip cuts off.. what is the link to your full descriptive tip abt hats? Thanks!
Ooh on my end it looks like you are referring to the Spring Break Beach video-could you explain again?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie Oops, I thought I was commenting on your short clip “Tips for hats on vacation” but somehow landed here on your full video “Spring break 2024”. Anyway, curious if you had a packing tip or hack (besides just wearing it) for a hat that is not foldable, has a stiff rim. No worries if none. Thanks always!
Hey! On these videos I can put links but not the vertical ones. Okay so pack the hat upside down and fill it with things that would fit that shape like a dress, a bra and socks.@@jrs2024
I just want to mention that mineral sunscreens are reef-safe.
Q: Laurie, how many weeks a year do you travel?
Ha since my son is college age, we have flown so often the past 6 months! But some trips are 2 days lol.
Laurie, just to let you know the discount code for Amazon dresses doesn’t work. Says “invalid code.”
Thank you so very much!
Do lens wipes have to go in the liquid quart bag?
I’ve never had an issue with packing individual lens wipes in my personal item bag as they don’t count as liquids. A tip is if it retains its shape out of its tube or pkg, it’s not classified as a liquid.
As long as there isn't a lot of 'pooling' liquid you should be ok.
Hi wipes are not considered liquids.
Hi Laurie 👋 tfs ❤
Wonderful tips as always 🎉 the phone protective case, what a great idea. My phone gets hot 🔥 all the time.
The sunscreen spray for scalp is great 👍 i need to pick that up for my cancer head... my head and hair get sooooo hot that i dont always like to wear a hat or cover it. Love tbe idea of scalp spray. Beats the goopy sunscreen cream ive been using. Lol 😀
It works great on your scalp! Yes, it's really that my phone shuts off when it gets hot-so annoying. That is why it is a must have for the beach.
Sudafed can be used to make meth so they probably don't want more in the country 😂
Great video Laurie!
I just came back from iraq🙂I got bulled like 5 times

Do you bring your own beach towel?
I have before but cannot find a link. It is a microfiber type one that my brother in Savannah has had for years. It repels sand too.
Shorts waist shows on model low waist, below belly button. Not for me. It would purchase if was mid or high waist not for me below waist or navel showing. Thanks
I would say they are mid-rise. Since my shirts are not cropped I can always tuck them in. I love the stretch and that they’re 5”
