How to Pack for Carry On Travel {Travel Tips} Video #16

8/4/2020

0 Comments

 
Figs and Flights {videos} launch every Tuesday. 

Figs and Flights Video #16 includes {Travel Tips} for packing for carry on travel.

Bryce and I explain our process for packing and why we only travel with carry on bags. We share our best tips and rules for doing so to help you do the same.

We answer questions about suitcases, folding vs. rolling clothes, and if we use packing cubes.

NOTE: The very light blue Away bag is the carry on. I exchanged it for the darker blue "the bigger carry-on" bag and love, love, LOVE the bigger carry-on.

Careful Covid Travels {Travel Tips}

6/26/2020

0 Comments

 
My husband Bryce and I have just returned from our first trip since the Covid outbreak.

We traveled from Seattle, WA to Pittsburgh, PA to visit with my friends and family there. We spent ten days in my hometown and at our family's cabin in the nearby Laurel Highland mountains. 

Here we'll tell you what travel was like and the steps we took for extra care and safety while flying. On Tuesday I'll share a video of our travels so you can see even more of what traveling during Covid is like. 

We chose to travel because we feel it's safer to do so now while everyone is still being careful, rather than in a few months when companies and individuals might be more relaxed. Of course your level of comfortability is up to you!

The Red-Eye Remedy {Travel Tips}

1/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Catching flights is one of my favorite things to do. Over the years and airline miles I've learned a thing or two about how to make the journey more enjoyable. 

This series of {Travel Tips} will help you learn my very best ways to make the most of your travels. 

The battle between spending money and using vacation time is a tough one. We often chose to fly out of town on a Thursday night, after work, in order to arrive in our destination on Friday morning. Catching a red-eye flight has its benefits: the ticket price is better and you also don't need to spend a cent on a hotel for that night! 

The flip side to the cost savings is the way you feel, physically and mentally, when you haven't slept in a bed since the night BEFORE last. 

I've found the remedy for a red-eye flight: it's a massage. 

Here's why a massage is just what you need after an overnight flight:
  • You get to lay flat and stretch out comfortably - the exact opposite of being cramped in a plane seat
  • A massage is going to relieve you of the discomfort of the plane and make you feel refreshed
  • Most spas offer you fruit infused water, tea, coffee, showers, a steam room, etc. You can get hydrated and clean before your day begins in your destination
  • There's somewhere to stash your suitcase - this is especially handy if you're not checking into your hotel, AirBNB, or accommodations until late afternoon/evening
