Tip 1: Invest in a well stocked toiletry bag. In my cabinet I keep a fully stocked bag of necessary toiletry items, mini size shampoos, conditioners, toothpaste, full size toothbrush, tweezers, face wash. Anything and everything I find necessary for getting ready on an average day. This bag is solely for travel. I don't dip into this stash if I run out of a full size. When I get home from a trip, I restock this bag.

Tip 3: Keep a partially packed bag ready to go. Some things stay in my bag year round. Extra feminine products, a flash light, a back up wall charger for my phone, a seamless comb. Things that may slip my mind while I am packing to leave in a hurry.

Tip 5: Proper and routine vehicle maintenance will not only extend the life of your car, but also make last minute getaways possible.
Tip 6: Keep your car stocked. A GPS, maps, all those little things you appreciate when you travel. I personally like to keep a pair of fuzzy socks in the glove box for times when I am riding shot gun and letting Mr. Wanderful drive.
