If you have a big trip planned this travel season, I have some ideas that will help you get ready so you can relax and enjoy.

Keep medications, your identification, your valuables and a toothbrush in your carry-on bag. Then, if your luggage gets lost, the important items are with you.

Pack your toiletries in plastic zipper bags. They will be neat and organized, and if something leaks, it will be sealed inside and not all over your clothes.

When you're packing clothes, roll them up rather than fold them. This will do two things: the rolls will take up less room in your bag and they'll come out with less wrinkles.

Slip a business card in the identification pouch on your luggage. That way, you won't have to worry about someone seeing your home address on the card, and taking advantage of the fact that nobody is home.

So many suitcases today look exactly the same, so it's hard to pick yours out at the baggage claim. If you tie a brightly colored ribbon to each bag, it will be easier for you to spot.
