Whether you are going away for your destination
wedding or off on your honeymoon, one thing is the same. You have to pack
properly! Roll, don't fold your clothes and make sure to pack tightly. This can
help to prevent wrinkles and usually allows for more room in your suitcase. You
can also lay your clothing out on hangers or in dry-cleaners' bags. When
choosing what to pack, try to go for wrinkle-resistant fabrics like nylon and
lycra. Stuff your socks and underwear in shoes and bags to help these items
keep their shape. Wrap any belts around the inside of your suitcase to save
space. Make sure to bring along an extra empty bag for and souvenirs and other
goodies you might pick up while you are traveling. Put your valuables, a change
of clothes and minimum toiletry needs in your carry-on luggage. Check with the
airport you are flying out of for carry-on restrictions.
You don't want to worry about money while you are on
your romantic trip so take care of business before you leave. Know your limits
and carefully consider the mix of cash, traveler's cheques and credit cards you
want to take. Assemble a list of all the emergency contacts you will need if
your wallet goes missing. Check your travel destination - are there a lot of
ATMs there? If not, you will want to take more cash (this isn't usually a big
worry in the more popular tourist locations).
Leave a copy of your itinerary, passport and
emergency list with at least one person at home. Conceal your money by stashing
it under your clothes or in a front pocket. Get any necessary vaccinations and
preventative shots you will need - check with your doctor and your travel
agent.
