Spring officially begins in just a few days! The start of spring kicks off the beginning of what’s predicted to be an especially busy travel season this year. If you have the travel bug, it’s time to start planning your spring and summer trips! After so much time spent stuck at home the last two years, it may be difficult to remember how to effectively prepare for a trip. My vacation packing and planning tips are a great place to start!
Travel Phone Apps
Flying can be overwhelming, but helpful apps can make it a breeze. I love tracking my flights with FlightAware. It gives me peace of mind and often I’m notified of any delays before the airline even announces them. To keep your tickets organized, I recommend downloading your airline’s app and adding them to your phone’s wallet.
WeatherBug provides detailed weather forecasts for locations throughout the world. I find it helpful for planning outfits since you can set weather alerts and view the 10-day forecast. If you need a packing assistant, PackPoint and Packr both create custom packing checklists. Input information about your destination, activities, and length of stay and instantly receive a personalized list.
Packing Organization Essentials
Organized and efficient packing lets you spend more time enjoying your vacation and less time wasted in the Airbnb getting ready. I use packing cubes and water-resistant beauty bags to stay organized and prevent accidents. There’s nothing worse than wasting your morning digging through your bags for your socks or your sunscreen bursting open and ruining your clothes! When flying, it’s very helpful to bring a portable luggage scale if you’re doing any shopping. This helps you to avoid the nightmare of rearranging your bags in front of everyone at the airport!
Cute Reliable Swimwear
If you’re traveling to somewhere beachy or staying at a hotel with a fantastic pool, cute and well-fitting swimwear is a must-have. I like to bring a few suits so that I always start my pool day feeling comfortable and dry. I’m excited for Eloquii to drop their new 2022 swim collection soon. But until then, Unique Vintage currently has a 30% off sale on swimwear! Linked below are a few options I love from Fashion to Figure and Eloquii.
Easy Affordable Sunglasses
When I’m on vacation I don’t want to worry about losing or breaking my favorite sunnies. I always try to bring one or two pairs of affordable sunglasses that I can wear in the water or throw in my purse and not mind if they get damaged. And it’s fun to try out new styles and colors this way! Linked below are my favorite Amazon options, all under $20.
