#shorts The Best Way to Pack a Suitcase! Compress and stuff! #traveltips #packing
Follow me at nahbee124
The best way to pack a suitcase!
First, you gotta have the right suitcase. You need one with straps like these and I’ll show you why later.
Organize your things into three piles:
1) flats such as jeans, jackets and sweaters which you hope to keep relatively wrinkle-free.
2) bulky items--namely shoes--
and the third pile I’ll call “stuffers”. Stuffers are things that you don’t care if they get wrinkled. So, underwear, socks, certain tee-shirts are all stuffers.
Put the flats you hope to keep wrinkle-free on hangers and in plastic bags from your dry cleaner.
Start by putting some stuffers in your shoes.
Then, layer the flats in your suitcase.
Secondly, lay on the bulky items.
Now, here’s where the straps come in: cross the straps and press down as best you can while cinching the straps tight. You want to compress as tightly as possible.
Then, fill-in the nooks and crannies with all your stuffers!
You’ll be amazed at how much more you can pack for any trip by using this method.
Please post any comments or questions below. Thanks for watching, happy packing and --bon voyage!

that crazy flip seat - I was hoping by this time post pandemic this cabin would be refreshed or retired. I do remember the flip seat being slightly more comfortable to sleep on than on the Airbus - but it's not great enough to offset the older screen and other strange arrangement of the seat.
Ha! Agreed! Thanks for the comment.
What seats would you recommend for 2 people traveling together on Boeing 777 w/Swiss
Which class cabin?
@@TheNoNonsenseTravelGuide Sorry Business class. I currently have center row 11 together

Do you need a membership or specific status? I’m gonna be flying on a OneWorld flight direct to Asia
You can check the access requirementshere: www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/clubs/admirals-club-access.jsp
@justnaji679 - if you have a business class ticket, you have access to the Admirals Club Flagship lounge. You can also access it if you are a at least a platinum AA member. If none of the first two apply, you can buy entry for $150 (I believe).

Will be flying soon with Swiss...please take notice of yr lack of human emphatic.....
Bon voyage!
What a misleading video title! Except for the "final thoughts" section, this was much more "what I did on vacation", rather than hard information to assist one in determining if renting a canal boat is for them. And the videography and editing (and yes, the blurred faces) made it hard to watch even as a travelogue.
Fair enough!
My wife and I love Bald Head. We’re going in a couple of weeks for our 25th anniversary. Southport is also a wonderful place. We love eating at Fishy Fish.
Kudos!
I'm surprised there wasn't a fatality on this cruise. And, the camera work, editing, and sub-titles make this one unwatchable hot-mess.
So true!
very nice]
Yes! I always try to get a place with a great patio or balcony.
shine!
Thanks!
Reading a novel set there .
Nice! What's the name of it?
Thank you 🙏
Any time! Number One says she liked Alpe better because of the constant great views when you're hiking/walking. Ritten has a cute train you can take back and forth across the ridge. She also says trying to choose which is best is like trying to name your favorite child! However, if she had to choose which to revisit, she says Alpe.
Thank you you guys are amazing !
I visited today and I was amazed by the amenities and how big it was and it was so calming. Just lovely ❤
Agreed!
Hello - thank you for the video! Overall how would you compare the ritten and the lodge ? Which one do u like more ?
Great question! There were more things within walking/hike distance of Alpe, but the free e-bikes were handy for getting out and about to see more near Ritten. The rooms, food, service and views are nearly identical--- and by that I mean fantastic. So, to answer your question--- I can't answer your question! It's a toss up for me. Let me see what Number One has to say and I'll report back.
Wow, Beautiful and alot of great information.

Bro is absolutely majestic
Couldn't agree more
Great video and concise. Do you know if the A-350 will get mattress pads?
Thanks! I really hope they DO add pads soon, but I don't know.
What a horrible way to enter a lock. Don’t bounce it in. Aim for the middle and at the begin of the lock don’t move that engine lever. A constant but slow speed gives you rudder control. Don’t step ashore if the boat moves. It’s not a good practice to jump of boats. Stop and step off. If you can’t don’t challenge your self.
Agreed! Total rookie moves!
we did much better our second time: czcams.com/video/dlvmUuqXctU/video.html
it is stunning to think they will not exist in just two years.
That's what Wikipedia says, but it's also based on old data. The latest data indicates this: With only about 10,000 breeding pairs left, the endangered African penguin is at risk of extinction by 2035.
Thanks for the post! We’re doing Canal du MIDI next month on the Royal Mistique B. You’re video captures the boat quite nicely. Much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoyed your cabin review with text highlights so viewers can grab what they need right away. Other youtubers tend to talk too much in their videos.
Thanks so much! I've tried it both ways (voice-over vs. text) and I'm not sure which is best.

Here's another. Its economy is terrible and crime is high!
True! Thanks for the comment.
Very thorough. Please let me know where you felt the vibration. Was it in any of the cabins?
Thanks! We felt the vibration in La Terrazza, deck 7, but I don't think we felt it at all times. And, no, we did not notice it in our suite.
Hell to the no. I’m staying with Delta Air Lines.
Ha! Agreed.
Gosh, it seemed horrorific and I think I would have an attitude about the whole first class thing
Weird ‘disappointments’
I agree! First world problems... Thanks for the comment.
South African Airways was NOT out of service because of Covid, they were bancrupt for the 3rd time...they still are. Instead of building homes for the poor, fixing roads with gigantic holes in them or fighting crime, a mummified airline is kept alive all because of pride...or perhaps reasons we can only imagine seeing that this ís South Africa...
I think you are correct. In December, 2019, SAA was placed under "business rescue". You may remember that was the same month The first known case of COVID-19 was identified in Wuhan, China. The timing for SAA could not have been worse. According to Wikipedia: "In April 2020, following a request for further emergency financing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the South African government announced that it would stop funding the airline with immediate effect." Thanks for the insightful comment!
The first time I flew a B737-800 was in 2003 from JNB -CPT . It is good to see that this legacy airline is making a return of sorts with the inaugural flight from JNB -Perth last week on the A340- 300. SAA is a microcosm of managerial dysfunction , nepotism and corruption which pervades S. Africa today . It started with Mbeke and blossomed like a Protea under the despotic regime of Zuma . Let's hope better times are to come for this beautiful country . How bad it can really get is only to look north at the remains of Zimbabwe . Real Cumulus Nimbus there .
It is a beautiful country!
@@TheNoNonsenseTravelGuide Indeed it is especially Cape Town and the magnificent Garden Route . A trip north to Namibia is also well considering .
@@richardshiggins704 We've done Cape Town and the Garden Route, but not Namibia. We've had others tell us the same about Namibia!
Hey how much is the entry fee?and does it include shower facilities,if not how much is taking a shower?
Shower included! Entry was free for us as we were flying Delta to Atlanta in business class. Check all the other entry requirements here: www.slow.co.za/slow/access
I hate when the ads for next video pops up when this video was just 70% done and the best part just started lmao
I agree! Unfortunately, I cannot change the timing of ads on any videos shorter than five minutes. That's a CZcams thing.

I know lots of South Africans refuse to fly SAA but this does look impressive for a domestic flight and would definitely consider booking this between JNB and CPT. Great review.

Why are people wearing masks? When was this recorded?
Hi, Bill! This was recorded in June 2022. At that time, masks were NOT mandatory for passengers, but --- I think--- all crew members wore masks as there was still some virus going around. In fact, our initial butler caught COVID and we never saw him after that! Thanks for the question. Please subscribe!
Were they able to provide another Butler?
I must be looking in the wrong place, but I can’t seem to find the app or website that you mention (that provides the schedules etc.)
The MyCruise app and website are only available to you when you're on board! Sorry for the confusion. 😎
@@TheNoNonsenseTravelGuide Thank you! I’m a newbie with SilverSea.. I’ll remember for when I get on board..
Oh, you will LOVE Silversea! Bon Voyage!
Still not as good as the deal we got when booked for 2025 on board Oct 2023.. booked vista got upgraded to classic balcony plus 1000 dollars obc .. ( that was there deal at the time ).. also our Oct cruise this year ( booked 2022 on board) is so much cheaper then best deal to book now ... Been sailing with silversea since 2005.. & wouldn't change it ..but from past experience it's always best to book as soon as the prices are released.. enjoy watching your videos..
Thanks so much, and yes--- I agree! Last time we sailed, there were many Crystal fans on board, so our next cruise is with them. Have you ever sailed with Crystal?
Hi ..yes have sailed crystal but only once 2016.. fabulous itinerary ( we mostly do the Mediterranean).. but the ship crystal symphony I felt was to big with far to many venues on board with nobody in them.. not small & cosy like silversea also the starting price level suites are extremely small compared to level entry with silversea..I have looked at the new crystal since the new owner ship but I'm still a silversea girl 😂..happy sailing on crystal.. will look out for your thoughts on sailing crystal..
Do they have bedrooms?
No. But, there is a "quiet" room with nearly lie-flat loungers. You could deff take a nap there. We did! Thanks for the question!
