Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not interested in putting it in your suitcase, but I am interested in taking things out of your suitcase so I can actually carry them.

I think I would go with the Freezy Plus as the best drink package in the industry.

I'm a strong advocate for packing cubes. They're amazing.

I'm not a huge steak guy. If I had to go anywhere, I would say Fahrenheit 555, but I'm not a huge specialty dining person.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack extra underwear just in case.
Use packing cubes to organize your luggage.
Consider bringing a change of clothes in your backpack if boarding in potentially rainy conditions.
Pack specific outfits in gallon-sized Ziploc bags to keep them clean and organized.
