Gray suitcase<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s gonna be a long long day. We\u2019ve learned some things about long travel. Some do\u2019s and don\u2019ts if you will. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Get travel pants and shirts. Both roll quite nicely and are so light weight. They don\u2019t take up too much space in your suitcase and have more pockets w zippers than jeans. You need zipper pockets to secure paperwork, keys, phones and stuff to your person, especially when going thru security lines and where lines move quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Mark your suitcase with an identifier or get suitcases that stand out from a sea of gray and black suitcases. We watched our one suitcase go past us three times before we identified a small tape mark on top. I think I will have to spray paint a dot or decal image for next time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Ladies, don\u2019t bring a big purse. It\u2019ll weigh you down and with the other luggage it can get lost easily. If you can, wear a cross body purse so it\u2019s always there. I shorten the strap so I can get it almost under my arm pit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If you can, limit the amount of clothes. If you can wear your pants, socks more than once and recycle your shirts for at least two days of use, do it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Put important documents in the same place everywhere you go. The shuffle of bags and things happens so frequently that without a consistent place on yourself it can get easily lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Read reviews of hotels. 4 star here may not be 4 star there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Bring your patience. Especially where there are tourists. Wait staff is overwhelmed and understaffed. We spent a good amount of time waiting in what would result in less tips elsewhere. At the airport, two servers for two separate businesses. And one was training the other. A hot dog place and Cinnabon with only two people working. They are totally frazzled! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Just because they are advertising doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re good, or efficient, or fully staffed. We had to ask for a refund here cause I never received my second slice of my lunch deal. And it took forever for them to figure out how to refund it back to card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Wear comfortable shoes that support your ankles. I\u2019m getting a new pair when I get home. Ankle soreness is the result when you don\u2019t. And my heel is bruised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

* Take lots of pics. Especially if the trip is long. You won\u2019t remember the details and pics will help remind you of what you did when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

* If you have pics taken on board ship that can be downloaded, do that before disembarking because they may only be available from the ship\u2019s WiFi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
