replying to @MandyMPower @MandyMPower @KaraDiDomizio @JonAReding This is one thing I never think to bring but is probably a VERY good idea. I'm gonna start! #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A4 We went on a cruise, and I left my daughter’s Sea Band at home. Thank goodness the gift shop on the ship sold them! #InspireToWander

@inspiretowander A3 12 days of underwear.
too many work trips where my boss phones and says he needs me on the road to oversee something for a couple of days. it is really a couple of weeks.
clean underwear is not something I take for granted. #inspiretowander

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott @KaraDiDomizio Maybe it's just the Toronto airport where everyone is grumpy and in their own bubble while slowly moving toward the carousel that isn't moving an inch. I find happier people waiting to board the flight and on the plane. #inspiretowander

replying to @OliviaRutt @OliviaRutt A4: Not so much a mishap as more of some creative packing. Trying to fit 12 beers in a carry-on size suitcase that's being checked (while padding them so they don't explode) is no easy feat. Only lost one! Woo! #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel A4) I overpacked and didn’t leave room in suitcase for souvenirs which for me are small books and quickly are heavy. Mind you this was carry on, my first international solo trip! I had to discard some shoes + sweater and donate to British Red Cross in Rochester. #InspiretoWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander My first trek was something similar where I over packed, learnt it the hard way by packing way too much, later on started being very realistic, understanding the destination, and packing accordingly with a checklist #InspiretoWander

Q5: Baggage fees - a pain in a traveller’s backside. Do you have any tricks to avoid them besides packing carry-on only? #InspireToWander

@leisurelambie @inspiretowander Luckily, I was meeting someone there who had not yet left their home and was able to bring me one.

A5: Hmm… that’s a good question, but other than go carry on, maybe make sure not to over pack to avoid overweight luggage fees. #InspireToWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A4: I seem to never pack my toothbrush. It happens to frequently it’s become a running joke between my husband and me #InspireToWander

replying to @IBBtravel @IBBtravel I have no idea! @monstervoyage and I left them in the spot for donations in wee hour of AM before going to London 😂 Dear Chops and Bonster helped me with my still ridiculously heavy bag until we got to my London hotel. #InspireToWander

A4: I consider checked bags a personal packing mishap. 😂
My sister recently packed her ID in her checked bag & that was a small disaster. guess my mishap isn’t too terrible haha. #InspireToWander https://t.co/PaN8WwezpN

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5: I know some credit cards offer checking a bag free, but I'll definitely opt for a carrier that has it over one that doesn't. I find airlines that offer free baggage often include meals & stuff too so it's worth it if it's a bit more expensive! #InspireToWander

A4: Sort of a packing mishap: food related. We were staying in a homestay in Mulu, Borneo. My wife woke up to some munching sounds. A mouse had found itself in one of our backpacks. Similar situation on a beach in Galapagos, but with ants! #inspiretowander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A5 crying doesn't help. trust me on this. #inspiretowander

@inspiretowander A5: Fly airlines like @SouthwestAir who don’t charge for checked bags, or get the airlines credit card which usually comes with free checked bags (but that’s not always advisable)

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A2: Carry just enough clothes for the duration of the trip. Travel light as you will need room for those souvenirs. #InspireToWander

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott @inspiretowander @StyleHunterFox @TEDxWinnipeg No way! That sounds amazing! I'd love to hear a replay if there's one available afterwards! #InspireToWander

A4 - Traveling with a friend and the entire bottom of his backpack gave out at our last stop. Somehow managed to find a sewing store in Spain, but they only had the TEENY-TINEST little safety pins - we had to use like, fifty to hold his bag together until home! #InspiretoWander

replying to @inspiretowander @inspiretowander A3, my hoodie, keeps me warm when I’m cold, and keeps the sun off me when it’s hot, I’ve had the same one for over 10 years now, kinda lucky charm now #InspireToWander

replying to @MeToddScott @MeToddScott @IBBtravel @inspiretowander Second hand stores are great, especially when travelling. We had to hit one in New Zealand when temperatures started dipping. Weren't ready for the 5C after the 40s in the Philippines! #InspireToWander

I am the queen of packing everything in a personal item. The trick is to wear layers and pack random things in pockets. 😂 #InspireToWander https://t.co/YICnmbORHQ
