Packing can appear to be the most daunting task when getting ready to leave for vacation. Clothes and toiletries become carelessly thrown into suitcases- leaving them cluttered and disorganized. Not to mention- when you arrive at your destination, it becomes extremely difficult to find the items you packed because of the lack of organization. Airports also cause a great deal of stress with the responsibility of holding onto passports and boarding passes, while also keeping track of personal items and bags. It does not have to be this way!! To prepare for your upcoming summer vacation, here are 12 functional packing hacks.
