Travel Tips

Here are some things I thought of after my trip.  Maybe they'll help you too.

• Take any liquid lip color in checked baggage.  Bring lipstick and lip balm solid on the plane.
• Consider taking a modest size roller carryon which can transition to checked luggage if needed.  Pack soft side tote/backpack as a backup carryon.
• Limit the size of the larger bag to about 27” to stay under the weight limit.
• Bring baby powder.
• Bring cold medication(s).
• If going on a Columbia/NYU upscale tour, bring nicer travel clothes and have something nicer than jeans for evenings.  Bring decent shoes if I can wear them.
• Consider laundry - focus more on clothes that can be washed and dried, and clothes that will dry quickly if handwashed.  Bring laundry powder packets.
• Bring a lightweight daybag with enough room for camera, sunglasses, bottle of water, sweater, maybe with smaller bag for valuables.  Have a small bag for evenings.
