Communicating with friends back home with postcards can be lots of fun, but the mechanics of making it happen can be a chore. Try packing pre-addressed address labels, stamps and a pen in a bag. It's all in one place, ready for you to record your exciting adventures and send them off to your friends and family back home!

Tired of those unpleasant sudsy explosions in your toiletry kit? Squeeze the air out of your travel sized bottles -- shampoo, conditioner and lotion. They won't be so likely to explode or leak with the pressure changes in the holds of airplanes.

Bonus Tip!: Tired of your shoes soiling your clothes in your suitcase? There are several solutions to the problem. You can use old unmatched socks as shoe bags - just stuff a shoe into a sock and pack it without fear of damaging what it's packed next to. If you don't have any old socks pack your shoes on top of everything in your luggage with the bottoms facing up - remember, soles toward heaven.
