PACK
SMART
by David Tumbiri
Packing has become quite the hot topic
lately with new fees for luggage seemingly being added
every day, so intelligent and compact packing can make
the difference in your enjoyment of travel. Anne McAlpin
has developed lots of simple, smart solutions for travelers,
none as simple (and really, really smart) as her Packing
Board. For less than twenty bucks, the nearly weightless
boards (two sizes to fit large or carry-on bags) creates
a second layer in your suitcase, which is deceptively
helpful. The board is shaped to help with precision folding
and easy access, printed with thorough packing tips and
clothes folding guides, and decorated with images of vintage
travel stickers (as well as a place for your name and
contact info—you know, the information the experts
tell us should always be inside our bag, but we never
put in). www.packitup.com
