FFFWeek™ Traveling Tips and Check-Off List:
Last year my blogger buddy, Marie Denee, and myself shared some very useful summer travel tips. So with FFFWeek™ and many other summer vacations coming up I thought I’d repost these tips again. I know alot of you all will be traveling this summer so I compiled a check-off cheat sheet to go by.
My main tip is to start packing at least 3 weeks in advance. If you don’t, you’re sure to forget something. Also, go to your local dollar store and pick-up a box of large travel and small ziploc bags to store your jewelry, cosmetics, underwear and shoes individually in them.
This will conserve space and keep items separated, clean and jewelry from getting broken. But here’s the list again that may help you along the way….you can thank me later!!!
