The sock cave

Posted by Staff in Packing, Tip of the Week

When packing, consider rolling your socks up and placing them in your shoes.  The inside of shoes is wasted space and this is a great way to make use of it.

Now if you have really stinky shoes, you might be charged with “sock torture.”

Old shoes, new life….

Posted by Staff in Health, Packing, Tip of the Week

Although many people consider the ritual of shopping for vacation clothes necessary…you might want to focus on new clothes and not shoes…a vacation is not the place to break-in new footwear.

I must admit I have not followed my own advice in the past and my poor feet paid the price dearly, and my travel plans needed to be altered once I became chair bound due to bad blisters.  

Do yourself a favor and travel with old shoes!

For the love of denim

Posted by Staff in Packing, Tip of the Week

Although I love jeans and wear them practically every day….sometimes I have to make the hard decision to leave my beloved blue friends behind.

If I am traveling for a long time  or on a trip that involves washing clothes while away….that’s usually when Mr. Denim gets ix-nay-ed.  The reason being that denim takes too long to dry, it’s heavy and bulky.

Sorry my dear jeans…I hope this tip does not end our long love affair…

Consolidate renting

Posted by Staff in Packing, sightseeing, Tip of the Week

If you are planning to take part in a multi-city ski odyssey like I did, but are not bringing you own equipment…do yourselves a favor and rent your skis/snowboard in the town you will start and end in.  This saves the hassle of having to wait in the rental line at each mountain and also saves expensive and precious slope time.
