Are you one
of those people who likes to shop a lot? But after you shop, you realize that
it would go in your bag. Oh! Now please drag your bag everywhere. It is heavy
and your shoulder hurts. You might have to take it down couple of stairs. Good
luck with that.
You might have already over packed your bag and don't know where to put the new
item you just bought or there is amazing bargain shopping available but you are
worried about Airline bag limit.
Here are
tips for you:
1. Putting it at Airport
If you are
travelling multiple route journey and know that you are going to have to repeat
one of the airport on the way, most of the airport have luggage facility where
they charge small amount of money to keep your bag locked away.
You don't have to drag your bag around everywhere.
Lot of times when I have multiple route journey, I take smaller suitcase and
put it my larger bag. I just put the stuff that I won't use during that period.
2. Shipping the bag
If you are
planning to be at your destination for more than 5 days or you would be
reaching particular destination in 5 days, shipping the bag is very good
option. This way you would travel hassle free. Your baggage would be received
by your hotel or your friend.
You won't pay extra baggage fees either. However, Please don't put any valuable
if you are shipping the bag. If it is international shipping - there might be a
problem with custom. I usually put soiled clothes, souvenirs, shoes, food and
similar items in the bag.
If you make 2 toiletries kit, then it can work out even better.
I also
recommend adding polythene bags on top. Those would weather proof your stuff.
3. Learn to
wash your clothes or be willing to pay that extra laundry service price at your
hotel or go to cheaper hotel nearby and give it to them. This way you won't be
carrying a pair of clothes for everyday.
4. You can
buy some clothes, food, toiletries etc at your destination.
