Remember Canada isn’t always cold. Last week in Ontario it was 28C in October. Our weather is similar to upstate NY. Pack according, but please come!

I picked up the tray table cover during the last Prime Day. I fly 2X a month and that is my favorite travel idem of this year! FYI. It also can go into washing machine and hang dry between flights.

I was in Daiso today and got some little liquid containers that you use for bento boxes and are used for sauces. They come in tiny sizes like .10 oz, .20 oz, .46 oz, up to 1.83 oz. They are perfect to use for tiny amounts and sell for $1.75 each pack. The smaller packs have 12 bottles, the next size has 9, the largest has 3. : )

I thought of a couple more ideas for overcrowded liquids bags. 1) If you do not have finicky hair, a small bottle of Sea to Summit Wilderness Wash can be used as body was, shampoo, laundry soap, and to wash dishes (even in a hotel, I have my spoon and cook mug to wash out a few times a day, and I hand wash a few items in the hotel sink every evening). Also, a Trader Joes shampoo bar is under $4. You can buy one before your trip, use it for both body and hair, and either put it in a soap bag or ziploc to bring home or, if you don't want to bother, at less than $4 you can afford to just toss it at the end of your travels. Smells great too!

one I have 2 sets kind of like that in the long sleeve. I get so cold on a flight but they are light weight and comfy . And you got me with "wash on the plane." I'm laughing with you <3 I'm out of brain energy today, so it was extra cute.

Thanks Laurie. I love your tips. I’ve bought the tripped tech bag, compression bag; and now ordered the hanging toiletries bag thanks to your recommendations.

Just wanted to thank you for always giving great tips to minimize the nerves when traveling. I just returned from traveling solo to meet up with my son (and then rented a car to sightsee as we headed home). I wanted to only bring a carry-on and personal bag. Going through security was easy because of all your tips. Once through, I moved to the side and took my time putting my shoes back on and getting re-situated. Because it was a full flight and small plane (CRJ), they asked for volunteers to gate check their bag. I decided to do that. Just needed to bring it right up to the plane when boarding and it was pulled off as soon as we landed (didn't need to go to baggage claim). I needed to ask for a belt extender (didn't need it on the same airline, larger plane a few months ago). But that went smooth and I didn't feel uncomfortable asking. The last time I flew, I sat with my daughter so I had someone to hold items as I got settled in my seat. This time, I bought a phone lanyard to put around my neck in the plane so I didn't have to worry about dropping my phone. A big peace of mind. Even when I got to the car rental, I felt comfortable enough to ask the attendant to help me link my GPS. All in all, your videos have helped me get back to enjoying traveling.

I absolutely love to watch your videos. I’m traveling to Switzerland next month so I really appreciate all the tips

That 11 pocket fanny pack is so perfect for festivals, markets, etc. Mine worked so well for me during powwow weekend, I went back home and got 3 more in different colours - including a dressy front one. That neck fan is a must for powwow weekend too!!

The little black soap pouch is by Matador and it’s my favorite travel item. It really keeps the soap mess contained and lets the bar dry out.

That tray table cover and the double sided glasses case are my favourite items that you have suggested this year. I can pack all my in flight essentials into it after security, and it makes the process of getting settled into my seat so quick and easy. Pull disposable gloves on before boarding, have antiseptic wipe already in my hand; get to my seat, haul carry on into overhead bin, wipe down head rest, arm rests, and tray table, stick wet wipe into the produce bag I have wadded into my sleeve, pull prepacked tray table cover out of my underseat bag, push underseater under my seat, pull on tray table cover - the whole process takes about 10 seconds because I'm so well prepared, quicker than most people take just to put up their carry on case. That tray table cover holds my Contigo flask of hot water, glasses case, airplane comfort kit, paperback, kitchen in a bag, and snack bag, so I don't need to touch my personal item bag until we're ready to land and I can just slip the whole airplane kit back into it. It streamlines the boarding and disembarking process immensely.

I saw one of your other videos with the striped personal item. I bought it in purple and LOVE IT! I laughed when I saw another woman with the same bag in the stripes in my row. Very popular.

I love my Level 8 carry on suite case and my lovevook backpack!! Thank you for the recommendations!

I have the pocket for the tray and I LOVE IT!!!!! I will never, ever, travel without it. It is truly an essential item.

Definitely a hard sided suitcase person! First used one over 30 years ago and find them so good! The men's toiletry kit is great - going to get that for one my husband's Christmas presents. Also ordered all those little square bags - so many uses for them, and also, even though I have a great Turtl pillow, the one you can stuff with clothing is a great idea if you're traveling light.

I finally got my TRIPPED TRAVEL GEAR "Bucket List" compression cubes Amazon deal!!! great products they make!!!

I bought the striped backpack in 17 inch & so excited! Also bought a makeup brush pouch that matches the striped backpack & the flat foldable phone holder

My hubby has had a similar two sided kit. It fits razor, small shave cream, pomade toothbrush and paste, Advil bottle in main section and comb and deodorant on the flat side. It’s perfect.

Yay for your brother getting that job! 🥳
