Listen to the three minute Audio PostCard on Packing Tips.

If images of jumping on your suitcase as your partner quickly snaps the locks shut, or sitting on the thing while you’re doubled over tying the straps are your version of packing, then you probably should listen.

My favorite packing tip is this: If you pack it, then you carry, pull or lug it. But we discuss all that and more in the Audio PostCard.

The New York Times article on packing quotes an American Airlines captain as saying he always travels with laundry soap and especially food that he carefully wraps in plastic baggies which he tucks inside his shoes.

And the peripatetic Rick Steves has lots of tips, specifically for men and women, and some wise safety ideas.

But we say travelers who travel well pretty much always travel lightly. Listen to the Packing Audio PostCard  and tell us if they help.
