Initially, I’d intended that this month’s blog would recap our long weekend road-trip to Pennsylvania. However, with lots of questions, comments, and activity around the packing tips and videos I recently shared on Instagram in preparation for that trip, I decided to focus this month’s blog on packing. It really IS a good time for it, as we are approaching a long weekend: Fourth of July weekend! Are you packing for an Independence Day trip!?

Either way, whether packing for this weekend or any trip this summer and beyond, I hope these tips are helpful to you or someone you know.

Feature: 51 Travel Essentials Travel Experts Never Go on Vacation Without

With summer right around the corner, we figured that many of you are looking for "must have" travel items for your summer vacation. Yes, there's a Christmas tree in the photos below, but that's because one of our "must have" items came at Christmas time: I bought the Rume Garment Travel Organizers (GTO) as part of my family's Christmas gifts, and they are a hit because they really work! With My Cruising Family's next family vacation right around the corner, we are about to pull out our Rume GTO, which allow us to pack lots of clothing in one light garment bag that then folds to fit the standard sized carry-on.
