Customer Reviews

Excellent resource!!!

This is an excellent book if you have never gone on a major trip or if you are a seasoned traveler. When I bought this book, the biggest trip that I had been on was to California with my parents at age 13. I bought the book because I had a business trip to New York, and it was my first time not travelling with a partner or family. The luggage section was very useful, especially with the details about the different types of luggage and how to judge quality. Also, the information of how to actually pack the suitcase was very helpful, especially with the many different methods of packing. Something that would be very useful to others is how to travel with children and how to pack for them. Also, were I going on another type of trip, I would have needed the specialized packing lists, but I found the generic list very helpful. Bottom Line: An inexpensive (33 cents) yet excellent resource on packing

Don't leave home without having used it!

"How to Pack" provides an incredible amount of information into an incredibly small book. As someone notorious for making lists, I just loved the checklists for travelling. This book provides thoughtful, insightful, helpful information to make your travelling smoother and more enjoyable. I often tell readers of my workbook for travellers (the emergency book) that this is a "must" companion book!

Surprise Find

What a wonderful little book. Not only does it give helpful hints and point out things I would never have thought of, it is written in such a way that it is a joy to read. This is not your average, dry how-to book. Lessons are given with a dash of humor in such a way that after you laugh there is a "A-HA" when the message sinks in. - It's the only how-to book I couldn't put down. I recommend reading it even if your next trip is not imminent.

A terrific, helpful, never-travel-without resource.

What a find. Not only can I now fit more clothes into less luggage, but my wardrobe all looks as good when I get where I'm going as it did when I left where I was. With so many helpful tips and lists I'll never forget anything again!
