Airport security is tightening, airlines are limiting your carry on luggage and charging more for your extra items.  For those of you who are renting short term accommodations and vacation rentals for a month or longer you may want to consider shipping your must have items ahead of your visit.

Check with your vacation home landlord or property manager to see if you can have items waiting for you when you arrive.  You may need to pick the items up at the management office or you can ship your packages the day you fly out and take delivery at your vacation destination.

Some items that we see travelers ship ahead of time are hiking and sports equipment, clothing, makeup, books, bikes and computer equipment.  You can travel light and still have your favorite items awaiting your arrival.
