My best hack is to get out in the countryside. Spend a night under stars and enjoy the fresh air.

A Getaway Hack, is to load up your pack, keep it close by your bed, search the Web.
when the signal comes and a low cost deal is done, you can run to the plane, and jet off to Spain.
other destinations are available too…

Save travel documents (travel insurance, flight tickets, hotel booking) to files, so they are easily accessible via your phone

Packing cubes and items of clothing that can be used in different styles to save space!

EUROCAMP HOLIDAYS ARE GREAT FOR SUMMERTIME

I like to roll my clothes before they go into the case. However, I wrap the first item (a thick one), around a deodorant tin. It stops creasing at the shoulders/bottom of the garment. Then I start layering the clothes around the same it gradually getting to the thinner items of clothing and the placing them into packing cubes. I use socks, underwear, straighteners for the same purpose. If you take care doing it, really works.

Morning sherry stay merry 😂🤣😅

Don't take everything so serious
03-08-2024 13:37 PM
Head to the south of France and drive I your own car, no airplane delays, you won't regret it!
03-08-2024 13:38 PM
Pack light!
03-08-2024 13:41 PM
Travelling out of high season but close to it, getting the best mix of weather and price! 😍
03-08-2024 13:41 PM
Pack a pair of cheap water shoes before you go as Euro beaches are not always sandy.
03-08-2024 13:45 PM
Plan an itinerary in advance and make arrangements so that you can enjoy the holiday
03-08-2024 13:47 PM
Planning but leave room for spontaneous changes.

First make sure you have passports and all paperwork necessary. But other than that, challenge yourself to pack only 30 minutes before leaving. Yes, you will forget things. However, you will also realise you don't need as many things. And then you'll know the joy of travelling light, saving money, time and stress on preparing that small luggage.
03-08-2024 13:46 PM
Freeze most of your drinks. Then put in a cool bag with the non frozen ones and you have nice cool drinks all day.
03-08-2024 13:44 PM
Pack light and try something different to experience new adventures and make memories.
03-08-2024 13:49 PM
Writing a list of what to take... Put a tick next to it when you've packed the item. Take the list with you and cross the item off when you've packed it to come home.... You won't miss anything then!
03-08-2024 14:00 PM
Meditate and use sun cream.
03-08-2024 14:00 PM
Ensure you have travel insurance, a working international roaming mobile plan, a multi-currency bank card, and travel light... 🙂

Bring spair clothing in ur carry on lugagge in case ur luggage comes delayed or missing.

Sun, Sea & Smarty 🙂

When going to a country with different plugs, take a multiple gang extension lead then you'll only need 1 adapter to plug it into to use all of your electrical stuff at the same time.
03-08-2024 14:16 PM
My hack is to search for the best flights first and not having a set destination in mind.
03-08-2024 14:17 PM
go somewhere difficult to get to and it won't be too busy! In the UK my suggestion would be south wales - beautiful countryside, reasonable prices and fantastic long sandy beaches
03-08-2024 14:16 PM
Well my normal best back for a summer getaway, is very simply to leave it to the last possible moment, I have been doing it for years and and have managed to get my self some amazing cheap holidays all over the globe
03-08-2024 14:18 PM
Vacuum pack your clothes, leaves more room for gadgets.
03-08-2024 14:18 PM
Roll your clothes rather than folding, easier to pack and less creases at the other end.
03-08-2024 14:19 PM
The best hack for a summer getaway is plan ahead do your research where ur staying I went away a few months ago n the place we went was a dump we could of stayed in a nice hotel for wot we paid but we still made the best of it our last holiday for awhile as my partner has just got cancer so this getaway will be great for us thank you

Book flights for your destination, then contact a hotel directly and book the preferred price of a room. This way you avoid the holiday companies charging for flights and "per person" for room.
03-08-2024 14:25 PM
Always cut your toenails before going on holiday.
03-08-2024 14:26 PM
Don’t get pregnant right before going to Porto if you had planned to try the port
03-08-2024 14:28 PM
Take an extension lead and one travel adaptor, the you can plug all your uk accessories in no drama
