What tools could I use to help me pack?
One thing is you can go online and look at the temperature for the cities that you're going to visit, because that way you know what type of clothing to pack. If it's going to be warm then you want to bring lighter clothing. If it's going to be cold then of course you want to have something a little bit heavier. You can also use a list. One of the things I do is write everything out in a list -- that way I'm organized. I think one of the things where people can really make a mistake is by not being organized. If you have everything on your list written out in paper and pencil, then you have a good idea of exactly what you need to pack.
