Focus On: Packing to Perfection
 

There is no doubt that with all this record-breaking snow, it feels like we've been repeating a bad dream over and over. Needless to say, it's the perfect time to head to warmer weather. Though the idea of a vacation may sound dreamy, the idea of filling that suitcase, for the trip, may give you nightmares. Don't let that stop you from making those travel plans. Check out these packing tips, and then you can pack those bags and make your dream of a warm vacation become a reality!

• Wrinkle free - Line the bottom of your suitcase with a trash bag and one for the top, which will help reduce wrinkles.

• Fancy footwork - Fill your shoes with socks and put them in individual bags to save space. Then, in order to keep the suitcase from falling over when it's upright, place the shoes and any other heavy items along the wheel base.

• Three to one - Pack three tops for every pair of pants, pair of shorts and every skirt because the tops take up less room.

• Layer upon layer - The bottom layer should be tightly packed rolled clothing. The second layer should include folded dresses, pants and skirts, alternating the sides that the waistbands are on for balance. Next add thick sweaters, jackets and folded shirts. And, finally, lay any crushable items on top.

• Nooks and crannies - Use any nooks, crannies and corners for tucking swimsuits, hosiery and underwear.
