Packing For Overseas Travel

When packing up for overseas travel, try to take less. Cars and taxis are smaller overseas, so you will be more comfortable taking a 26" size piece of luggage or smaller. Lipault luggage makes a 25" case that is actually 25.6" and is perfect for overseas travel. It is completely softsided and very lightweight. The Lipault luggage comes in a two-wheel or four-wheel model. The two wheel Lipault luggage can be pushed or pulled along easily. The four wheel Lipault luggage can also be rolled along side you to your destination. Because of the soft sided construction of the Lipault Paris, you can always squeeze in another item when packing. For overseas travel, you will want to pack your favorite toiletries as they may not be readily available. You'll want to bring along a money belt that is worn underneath your clothing. There are many models that can be worn around the waist, around the neck or around the shoulder. These are hidden and can hold your passport and back up money safely. You'll want to carry a copy of your passport in your purse or everyday bag. You'll need adapters for the countries you are visiting and you will also need a voltage converter if the item you are bring is not dual voltage. It will need to say 110V - 220V to be used overseas without a converter. If you use a hair straightener, you'll need an international version as that is one of the few items where the electricity cannot be converted. On the plane, you may want to bring along a 3-1-1 with hand sanitizer, chapstick, mouth wash, etc. You may also enjoy bringing a travel pillow, blanket, and/or eye shades for the trip. To lock your luggage, you'll need a TSA approved lock. Pack your valuables and essentials in your carry on bag. For international travel, you will also require the smaller size carry on luggage. The Lipault foldable 20" wheeled duffel will do the trick and get you there in style!
