Packing Travel Tips by Myrtle Beach Photography

Packing Travel Tips by MyrtleBeachPhotography.com

We know this is a stressful time trying to get yourself and your family ready to travel. Here are some helpful tips to save you time and possibly your mind. Remember to Like and Share with friends)

Book Your Family Beach Portrait at 843-236-5403 or MyrtleBeachPhoto.com

1. Bring a Travel clothesline- It is great for hanging wet bathing suites

2. Make a packing list 2 weeks prior to your vacation-You will remember things as the weeks pass.

3. Pack a reading light and earplugs-You never know when the family wants to sleep and counting sheep is not working for you.

4. Bring your own pillow or at least pillow cases to cover the hotel pillows.

5. Bring extra carry bags-They are easy to pack and great for outings.
.
6. Pack old t-shirts and underwear that you were going to throw away or donate. They are great for the beach and you can just throw them away to make room for all the new stuff you are going to buy.

7. If traveling with a pet, pack your pets a toy and a blanket with his/her familiar smell.

8. Pack dark shirts because they show stains less.

9. Roll and never fold. It will save you tons of space.

10. Hang a door shoe holder over the back of the car seats. The kids can put their favorite things in the slots, where the shoes go, to keep them occupied during the drive. It can hold crayons, games, phones, toys and other fun stuff. When you get to the hotel, hang it on the back of the hotel door to help keep hotel room neat.

11. Stick to comfortable neutral shoes that can go from the beach to dinner.

12. Roll things that wrinkle in tissue paper. It helps!

13. Compression bags are the best. You can find them at the dollar store. You will be amazed how much you can pack.

14. Keep your liquid items separate and in a waterproof bag. Go buy a box of gallon sized Ziploc bags.

15. Purchase a weekly pill dispenser to pack your medication to save space.

16. Bring a large garbage bag for each person to put their dirty clothes in.

17. Different sized Ziploc’s can help you keep things separated and organized. You can put your separated items like hair bands, soaps, shampoos, medicine, etc. in your baggies and place them in your shoe rack you will have hanging in the bathroom.

I am also including a packing list I found online. (enlarge, right click and print)

Summer Solstice 2016-Myrtle Beach, SC

Summer solstice 2016: Today is the longest day of the year
Monday June 20th

If it seems like this day will never end, there is a reason for that. Today there is more daylight than any other day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.

Today has the most daylight of any day this year north of the equator (Alaska will have 24 hours of daylight today (The Midnight Moon)

Look for a Full Moon on the Longest Day of the Year. First time this has happened in a Very Very Long Time.

The Days Get Shorter After Today

Everyone on Earth Experiences the Solstice at the Same Time. (The summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere occurs at the exact same time the winter solstice occurs in the Southern Hemisphere.)

Just Because it is the Longest Day, Does not mean it is the Hottest Day

Some of these facts provided by NASA

Protect Your Home Before Your Myrtle Beach Vacation

When you are planning to travel away from home on your next vacation getaway here are a few suggestions to keep your home safe.

Hold Your Mail

A stack of mail in your mailbox is a sure sign that no one is there to check the mail. If you’ll be gone for more than a few days, go by or call your local post office and have them put a hold on your mail. .

Make your Home Look as Though Someone is There

Set your lights on a timer

Leave a car in the driveway.

Arrange for someone to mow at least once a week

Leave bikes and toys outside.

Do Not Broadcast on Social Media about Your Vacation

It is fun to share vacation memories with friends and family via social media but wait until you are home to post and share. Use the time to spend with family and save your screen time for when you get home.

In Case of Emergency

If you have a trusted neighbor, give them a key to your home in case of fire or any other emergency.

Get A Security Sign (Even if you don’t have security)

Thieves are less likely to break into homes that have security alarms. You can purchase signs on ebay.

Make Sure Your Electric Devices are Unplugged.

This will reduce fire risk

Hide the Hide-a-Key

It’s impossible to forget you’re key if you’re not even home, so go ahead and take any hidden spare keys out of commission. Just don’t forget to re-hide them when you return!

Set Your AC/Heat

Turn down (or up) the thermostat to save on electricity while you’re gone. In the winter, set the heat to about 55° – warm enough to keep the pipes from freezing, but cool enough to save – and during the summer, set your air-conditioning to 85°. You can also lower the temperature on your water heater.

Safe-Keep Your Valuables

Lock up jewelry, the deed to your home, wills, and any other valuables or sensitive documents in a fire-proof safe.
