Packing is easy. Packing well is tough. The anticipation of the trip makes us want to bring a lot of our stuff. Keep in mind this school trip packing tips when getting ready for your travels.
Remember you have to carry it with you. Through the airport or onto the motor coach and then into the hotel. The more you have the tougher it is .
Packing less is safer too. Because both your hands are occupied you become an easier target. If all your hands are fumbling to keep a rollaway, then a back pack and another item in your other hand means you have no free hands,
Having a free hand will allow you to fend off any people trying to get close to you or keep you hand on your pocket and valuables or open doors. Keep on hand free.
