Organize your receipts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have to save receipts while traveling, purchase a plastic coupon holder to help you keep track of them (it\u2019ll also protect them).\u00a0 You can label each section of the coupon holder by category (hotel, rental car, gas, food, etc.); or you can label it by day of the week.\u00a0 The coupon holders area compact and easily fit into a laptop case, purse, or travel bag.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alice Vasquez, Concord, Calif.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Dress like a local <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When my husband and I visit places like India and Thailand, we pack only one extra change of clothes.\u00a0 When we arrive, we hit a local market and buy native attire\u2014woven shirts, saris, sarongs etc.\u00a0 Not only does this make packing easier, but we get a better cultural experience and end up with lots of wearable souvenirs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alegre Vincent, Phoenix, Ariz. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Make instant memories <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carry a Polaroid camera when traveling to third-world countries.\u00a0 In Cambodia, several village children gathered around us, posed enthusiastically for pictures, and were fascinated by their images in our digital cameras.\u00a0 We wanted to send them pictures, but they were unable to tell us their addresses.\u00a0 Polaroids would have solved the problem.<\/p>\n<p><em>Alan Webb, Springtown, Pa. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Witch hazel has multiple uses<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It can kill odor-causing bacteria, relieve sunburn, stop bleeding, act as a facial astringent, and even be used as mouthwash (just don\u2019t swallow).\u00a0 It can be put in a travel-sized spray bottle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Aaron Worthing, Williamston, Mich.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Don\u2019t waste time waiting for your luggage on the first day of a cruise <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Instead of packing your swimsuit away with the rest of your clothes, put it in a small bag and carry it with you.\u00a0 Once you board the ship, you\u2019ll be able to enjoy the pool long before your suitcases are delivered to your cabin.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tom Griffith, Millbrae, Calif. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Got a travel tip to share with the community?
