Planning a trip to New York is not like planning a trip to anywhere else in the world! New York is a big city with lots to do. You must have a good plan ready from the moment you step off of the plane to the second you get right back on.

• Catching taxis isn’t as fun as it looks! Sure, in the movies pedestrians can catch a taxi in a snap. However, real life is not that easy – especially if you are travelling with a group or family. Make sure you have plans for getting around the town. Walking everywhere is not ideal either, so renting a car may be your best option.
• You can get great deals online, in advance! There’s a reason why people are booking online more and more these days. You can access great deals online with ease. Plus, walking in and booking a room is so much more expensive and risky. What if the hotel is full?
• Money will be an issue. You need to budget for food, gas, flights, event tickets, tours, souveneirs, shopping, hotel fees, unexpected needs, and more! It’s not possible to just pick up and leave for New York.

Planning is more than important, it’s mandatory! There’s also no halfway planning. New York is a big deal, and planning your next trip to New York is an even bigger one.

In a couple of days, you’ll be on your way to your destination. Whether you’re driving, flying, or even hiking, you need some sort of plan. So for now, it’s time to start packing! We’ve got 3 travel packing tips for selecting the outfits that should go from your endless closet to your very limited suitcase!

1. Choose appropriate clothing for the climate. Summer in New York is a lot different than summer in Texas, just as winter in Florida is very different from Colorado! Check the weather forecast for the needed dates. Don’t hesitate to add an extra pair of pants just in case it get windy in the spring, or extra capris if it gets warm in fall.
2. Sacrafice jeans, not tee’s. Denim takes up a lot of space in a suitcase. Check your bag now. How many pairs of jeans are you packing ? When you’re on vacation, there really is no need to pack 5 pairs of jeans for a week-long stay. Instead, pick out 2 different shades and pay $0.25 to use the washer if necessary.
3. Suitcases and shoes were not meant to be. Shoes are difficult, clunky, and heavy! Limit yourself to a pair of comfortable shoes to walk in, a pair of dress shoes (only if needed!), and sandals/flip flops. If you;re traveling by air, wear the bulkiest pair on board.

*Bonus travel packing tip*- Roll your clothes up instead of folding them. It will prevent wrinkles and also save a lot of space.

Packing clothes isn’t so hard, now is it? Follow these travel packing tips, and you’re sure to see a lot more room in your bags.
