Have a weekend trip coming up? Traveling for work? Don’t let packing become a dreaded chore—our traveling tips will help you get to your destination with as little packing woe as possible! Get ready, get set, get packed! Start with a “Packing Checklist” If you travel often, making a checklist that you can reference when packing will save you LOADS of time and assure that you don’t forget important objects. (We’re looking at you passport and toothbrush!) Type up a document on your computer so that you can print out a new copy for every trip. Simple, easy, and efficient!  (Try this one.) Roll Your Clothes No matter if you’re using a duffel bag or a suitcase, the age old trick of rolling your clothes will save you space. Reserve “regular folding” for items that are delicate or wrinkle easily, and place these items on top. P.S.: A non-wrinkle tip for delicates: fold them in tissue paper. Pack Heaviest Items Towards the Bottom of Your Bag Particularly when dealing with rolling luggage, packing your heaviest items (shoes, hairdryers etc.) first will keep your luggage balanced. Nothing’s more annoying than a suitcase that keeps toppling over in the airport! Plastic Baggies! Packing plastic bags in various sizes are a cheap way to stay organized and clean. They are useful for keeping dirty or wet clothes separate, isolating cosmetics and toiletries from the rest of your luggage, or saving seashells that your kids collected at the beach! Mix-and-Match Pack TWO tops for every pair of bottoms. You’re more likely to re-wear bottoms than tops, so to avoid over-packing stick to this simple rule! Pack a pair of dark wash bottoms and one pair of light. For dresses, sweaters and tops, packing neutrals that you can easily accessorize is key. Remember, everything matches with black and white! Pack a Small Bag of “Essentials” Whether you’re taking a flight or simply going on a road-trip, having a smaller bag that you have easy access to is incredibly helpful! Keeping items such as medicines, a hairbrush, headphones, and a small snack close by will save you the hassle of rummaging through your big luggage! Now that you’re all packed and ready to go, need to book a car for your upcoming trip? We have great options for all of your traveling needs. Book online today!

Traveling (for business or pleasure) often includes long days. Sightseeing, eating delicious foods, or sitting in long meetings can easily take up an entire day. Just because your trip is jam-packed doesn’t mean you have to derail your fitness goals. From local trails to taking advantage of the hotel gym—there are plenty of ways to stay in shape while enjoying your time away! The Hotel Gym Convenience is always a good thing! If you’re visiting for a business trip, you will most likely be placed in a hotel that has a complimentary fitness center. Many hotel gyms are open 24/7—so there’s no excuse to skip your workout. Wake up an hour early and slip in a quick strength training session using free-weights or blast some calories by hopping on the treadmill. Run or Walk on a Local Trail Traveling to Savannah? Pack your sneakers! There are plenty of amazing trails and walkways where you can get your sweat on. We highly recommend running or walking through the Savannah Historic District—particularly through the famous “Forsyth Park.” You’ll see most of Savannah’s historic landmarks and get in a great workout (around 6 miles!) Overachievers, head down to River Street for more beautiful views! Workout in Your Hotel Room Short on time or trying to squeeze in a workout while your kiddos nap? Download a fitness app or lookup a 30 minute full-body workout. There are plenty of free circuit workouts out there for all levels of fitness. From HIIT to yoga, and everything in between, the internet (or your phone) is an oasis of knowledge. Pick a routine that can be done without any (or little) equipment such as this one or this one. Your body will thank you! Hit Up the Park Exercising at a local park is a great place to workout when a gym isn’t available. Many people utilize parks to get their heartbeat up, and you should too!  Use park benches to do dips or incline pushups, do lunges across the length of the park, or find an open space and whip out a set of burpees. You’ll be surprised how fun your workout can be when you take it to the great outdoors. Don’t forget your water bottle! Traveling can alter your everyday schedule, but these workout hacks will keep you on track! Need a car while you travel? Book your rental car online here.
