8 Things To Pack When You Travel

Yes, the traditional summer vacation season is ending, but many of us are making plans for holiday visits and winter get-aways to ski slopes and tropical islands, so I thought that passing along this "Budget Travel" article would be useful.

The author shares eight items that we may not think about packing for a trip but should. I won't spoil it for you--hit the link above to read the piece, and be sure to scroll down to the comments for more tips from readers.

If you're like me, you always forget something, like a spare contact lens or earplugs. And it's when you forget the item that you actually need it! These items are not typical, so I thought people might be interested in adding them to their suitcases.

(On a personal note, I always pack extra Ziploc bags with me. They're great for wet bathing suits, seashells you've collected, dirty underwear and socks, etc. I secure them, rolled, with an elastic ponytail-holder, which is also nice to have on hand. They're better than a rubber band--quite useful!)
