You’ll find plenty of lists on the interweb reminding you of everything you <\/strong>SHOULD<\/strong> pack for your next trip, whether you’ve booked a quick weekend away, a cruise or a big adventure abroad. But our friends at iFly luggage<\/a> have taken a different perspective and compiled a list of things you’d do best to leave behind on you next journey. Here are those 6 things.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

RELATED:<\/strong> 5 more packing tips you haven’t heard 100 times before<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Either your brown shoes or black shoes:<\/strong> By choosing only one shoe color, you save a ton of space because you don\u2019t need to bring another entire color scheme of outfits and accessories.<\/p>\n

Keep your expensive jewelry at home:<\/strong> No need to risk losing your favorite valuables, if you can\u2019t do without jewelry bring some cheaper items you wouldn\u2019t mind losing. Remember\u2014everything in a checked bag is at risk.<\/p>\n

Shampoo, soap and other toiletries:<\/strong> There\u2019s no need to worry about TSA-friendly bottles, or contents exploding in your bag. Almost every hotel has your key toiletries\u2014if you\u2019re not staying at a hotel, pick them up at a local shop near your vacation destination.<\/p>\n

ALSO:<\/strong> Never leave home without earning Orbitz Rewards\u2014join for free today!<\/a><\/p>\n

Hit the gadgets, not the books:<\/strong> Books are bulky and you go through them at a higher rate when vacationing. Get an e-reader or tablet, so you can have endless books, music and films in one slim gadget.<\/p>\n

No towel needed:<\/strong> Towels take up a ton of room, and hold the most moisture and odors. Either borrow one from your hotel or pick up a cheap one at a local shop.<\/p>\n

Empty your wallet:<\/strong> Leave behind gift cards, extra credit cards and ID cards you won\u2019t need. Traveling light is not only about saving space in your luggage – it\u2019s about travelling with a lighter state of mind.<\/p>\n

About<\/strong>
\niFLY<\/a> began because there was a lack of stylish, high-quality luggage that was priced properly. iFLY has always believed, \u201cGreat luggage shouldn\u2019t cost more than your airfare\u201d.<\/p>\n
