Great tips. We normally go carryon only. It is tricky to pare it down, but now that I’ve gotten used to it, I won’t go back. I am all about the packing cubes! And great tip about the exploding toiletries! Lol!
You can never be over prepared with toiletries! Those are just things you never know you will need or not. I agree with what you have there! That is an excellent idea to have towel clips! I love using packing cubes too! They are excellent!
We travel a lot. I love the split-luggage-partner idea. I may incorporate that. Also, I love the clothes steamer idea. You might incorporate what you do with your electronics. We are travel bloggers so that's a big deal for some folks. Also, consider a video for how traveling has changed since Covid-19. Great video! Happy traveling!
Thanks! Yes I think of all my tips, the one I will always do is split our luggage. That's a gold idea. My husband usually carries the tech gear bag, so I should show what's inside that next 😊
You are the most organised packer! I’m a little in awe of your technique, never used packing cubes as I don’t understand how having an extra layer of material can create more space? The downy spray sounds great too as we both hate ironing😅
Ironing while traveling is the worst. I was skeptical of the packing cubes until I tried them... it helps you squeeze a little bit more in somehow. And the material of the cubes is super thin.
You’re super organized, thanks for the tips. Towel clips are such a good idea 🙂 I also use zip locks for toiletries, I learnt that trick the hard way 🙈🤣 Clever to split your stuff in 2 bags 💡
A great tip I've heard came from a dermatologist here on youtube and she gave great advice on how much spf to pack. Because I definitely don't want to get a sunburn on a beach vacation, I wanted to make sure I packed enough spf and not have to buy any overpriced spf at the resort. each spf application (full body) is about 1 oz with a minimum of 1 reapplication a day so... 1oz X 2 for another reapplication x no. of people on vacation x no. of days = how many ounces of spf to bring
This was a great list. I like how you packed from smallest bag to largest. You seem to pack very light and well! I like how you keep your charging cables especially 🤗 nicely done. The Downey tip is especially great!
Great tips! You are so prepared and organized...seems you may have done this a few times 😆😂 i like the tip to pack dresses that you can wear out and as cover ups!
Hey!! Love your video. Where did you find or get your small hand steamer I need one that small and I love that they make them that travel friendly and compact.
I always try to remind myself to put my beach slippers in my carry on but I always forget for some weird reason. I bring way too much accessories too, I get it. Agree with those who think your toiletries seems to be over prepared haha
i just went to st maartan too, but it was on a cruise. next time it will me just going their directly cuz boats are not my thing. also what's a kobo 1:32? and what about a speaker? you gotta start the party when u travel. 👏
We've been here on a cruise too, its nice to be here for a week though to see more. A kobo is my ereader that I load with books to read. Good idea about the speaker!

These are great packing tips! You’re so organized!! Believe it or not, the one thing I always forget is a pen. 😂
It happened to me once... now I add a pen to my backpack and purse and husbands backpack... just in case! Lol

I've never heard this before, but I'm definitely using it in future! That's a great way to look at it.
Great tips.
I love packing cubes.
I make sure my clothes can mix and match so I have variety.

Thank you! Yes I have a bit of a process, and a list that I edit for every trip. I'm glad you found some helpful 😊
Since I’ve switched books 📚 for ebooks my handbag is a hit lighter and I can have all my library in one place always with me
That's a great tip on saving weight on travels! Books are so heavy but an ebook reader is very light.

Got ours on Amazon
I'm taking my black Lug Life Puddle Jumper Backpack too!
Isn't it the greatest for travel!? I love mine.

Hi there, this is great... do you happen to have a way to print these or a downloadable list? Thanks the ideas are great.
I have a printable packing list here: theaveragetourist.com/1-week-st-maarten-packing-list/
Thanks for the impressive packing tips. ! I really want to be light weight.. as I have to carry a lot of camera accessories !!
Yeah the camera gear and accessories can get bulky. My husband usually packs those.
Packing cubes are THE BEST! we only discovered them earlier this year and it's already a game changer - awesome tips!!
They are amazing!! I can't imagine packing without them.
Where did you get the straw hat? I love it!
Great video! Thank you!
This is such a useful tips 👍🏻 thanks for sharing - onenonlyjasz

Please don't bring a speaker. People vacation to get away from others' noise.
