Our Florida Travel Packing Tip Guide Will Ensure You Pack Right, Remember Everything, & Have the Right Luggage!!

Knowing how to pack for your Florida vacations is more important than you think.

Our travel packing tip guidelines will ensure you get the proper luggage (through discount sources & reviews), and pack appropriately for your trip to Florida.

I read somewhere that there are two types of travelers...
"Those who pack light, and those who wish they had!" So right and so true.

Obviously you wouldn't be at this page if you didn't need luggage. Also, just read through each Florida travel packing tip to ensure your belongings and valuables are safe during the trip.

Let me ask, have you dug out your old, ratty luggage yet? I would assume that is why you are here. Don't feel like borrowing from others either, huh? No, I don't blame you.

Our Florida travel packing tip guide and luggage sources will ensure you get good quality luggage, pack everything you need, and save money & time in the process.

Trust me, when traveling to Florida, you often pack toooooo much. As you are packing and getting excited about your discount Florida vacations, you start thinking of all the things you can do in Florida. This puts you in front of your closets saying, "what if we do this and what if we do that?"

Before you know it you've packed half your woredrobe, and still haven't shopped for new clothes yet.

So, here is what you do...

Florida Travel packing tip #1:

Sit down and write out the things you definitely plan on doing on your discount Florida vacation. If you aren't sure yet then be sure to check out our section on things to do in Florida! This should give you a nice idea of what there is to do while on vacation.

Florida Travel packing tip #2:

Print out our list of items & suggestions, that you should consider while packing for Florida. You don't want to be hundreds or thousands of miles away and forget something.

From having your mail taken care of, to any form of identification, to packing valuables, to what to pack, you want to make sure you have covered everything.

Florida Travel packing tip #3:

Find new luggage! Hey, shopping is fun, even if it is for luggage. We have traveled to Florida with krusty old luggage and have traveled to Florida with brand new luggage.

It is so much better and we feel more comfortable knowing our belongings are safe, when you travel with new luggage.

There is more luggage types than you would think. Luggage on wheels (our favorite), duffel bags, briefcases (to carry your important papers and so forth), small bags for your bathroom stuff, backpacks (these are great for the beach and carry-on travel), big bags, little bags, matching sets, and more...

Just be sure you know what you plan to pack and how much/many bags you'll need. Again, don't forget to print out our travel packing tip list and reminders!!
Some of the top rated brands to look into include, Travel Pro Crew, Costco Kirkland Signature, Skyway Sigma, & Tumi.

Here is our favorite place to find good quality luggage at great prices...

Don't forget your travel luggage!Luggage at eBags.com - They received 5-star luggage reviews from customers for great service, price, and quality brands of luggage. You will feel comfortable working with them.



Our main travel packing tip on buying luggage is, don't nickel and dime this step. Luggage carries all your stuff!

Important Florida travel packing tip: Be sure that once you have searched through the resources above, you double check eBay or Amazon's prices on luggage.



Our final Florida travel packing tip list of what you should do/know...

  • Make a plan and stick to it:
    Use our list, determine what you at least plan on doing in Florida(outside, inside, romantic, nightlife, kids fun, beach fun, etc...), check the weather, and pack a lot less than you think you'll need.

  • Pack neatly:
    Honestly, my wife does the packing for our discount Florida vacations because she gets everything we need in the smalles suitcases. This way we don't lose anything.

    We usually carry on valuable jewelry, important documents, extra money, medication, keys, and so forth. Don't be like me and stuff it all in hoping for the best...learn how to fold. Most women are good at this anyhow seeing how most husbands don't do any of the laundry.
    They're saints aren't they guys? What would we do without them?


That's it!! We don't want to make this seem like rocket science. Just use this travel pack tip guide to search for luggage, print out our travel pack list of what to pack and remember to do before you leave, and travel to Florida in style and safety.

We don't want your trip to be like Gaylord Fockers, right? Remember "Meet the Parents?"

He had a heck of a time at the future in-laws, while his belongings and the engagement ring he had in his suitcase (because his bag was too big to carry-on), were trying to be found by the airport. Hey, I'm a movie freak...Sorry!!
