One medium sized suitcase, is the way to go.

 More trips have been ruined by over-packing than by all the hurricane's, over-bookings, and surly waiters of the world, combined. A light suitcase is the key to an enjoyable vacation, and proper packing ranks with the advance study of history and culture, as the two most important steps of travel preparation for trips to anywhere.

Except on a cruise (which involves other considerations), pack light! Take one medium-sized suitcase, no more than two, per person, partially empty for bringing home purchases, and you assure the success of your trip. Take more, and you become a fatigued beast of burden, a prisoner of porters and taxicabs, the unhappy bearer of unwashed clothing or of items never used.

Lighten your load with this crashcourse in wardrobe planning!

Savvy globetrotters seem to know instinctively how to travel with less. If you're seriously disciplined, you could conceivably go for months at a time with a small shoulder-strap cabin bag. Of course, not all travelers want to live out of a carry-on bag. There are times when you want to have more with you. Still, efficient packing will save you time and allow room for your purchases.

How Suite it is!

Don't get me wrong---children are a wonder to behold. They are more of a wonder if you don't have to sleep with them. If you've ever tried staying in one hotel room there probably were traffic jams to the bathroom, nightly games of musical beds, and an Olympic-caliber obstacle course made up of two double beds, two children, a half-dozen suitcases, and approximately five stuffed animals per child.

Trips For Solo Travelers!

A recent Florida tourism survey reveals that a vast majority of Americans recognize the benefits of traveling alone. No news there. The kicker is that many of these same folks never travel because they're either too afraid of the unknown or they'd rather avoid the stigmas that often get attached to those who travel alone.

Lets examine the bugaboos that keep solitary souls from packing suitcases like what to do about eating alone, becoming sick on the road, how to trust your own judgment, and getting lost while alone are just a few of the issues. Some labels that should be debunked are---loner and anti-social among the many--- that are slapped on solo trekkers, showing that they're merely labels and should be ignored. "The best way to overcome the stigmas is to get out there and have fun traveling solo." "Whether you're a woman or a man, forget about conventional wisdom, there is no better way to truly experience a destination than exploring it on your own."

Best Day - Best Time!

Why Wednesday you ask?
We need to give the small upstart airlines a big thank-you for this. In the airline business,  air fare wars are started by the weakest competitors, and the big guys tend to be the ones to raise fares. And all of that tends to happen on Fridays.
