This means taking into consideration how much space and weight your luggage can handle. Try to pack items that are versatile and can be used for multiple purposes. For example, a sarong can be used as a beach cover-up, scarf, or even a skirt. Packing clothes that can be mixed and matched will also help you save space in your suitcase.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3,\"style\":{\"typography\":{\"fontSize\":\"17px\"}}} --><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size:17px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22-roll-dont-fold\"><\/span><strong>2.2.
