Easy Packing

Magellan's has written countless articles advising travelers to pack light. But what do we consider the bare essentials for traveling in a modicum of comfort, safety, and convenience? Let's just start with the obvious. When traveling to another country you must have certain things in your possession - driver's license/picture ID, passport/visa, cell phone and recharger with plug adaptor, cash, credit/ATM cards, and a means to deal with the elements (umbrella or poncho, sunglasses, hat, jacket, comfortable shoes, etc.).

Sometimes all the essentials can really add up, so packing smart becomes more important. That's where the Pack-It Specter packing system by Eagle Creek can come in handy.
