Remember always!

BC Reg 36168

Today is a day that we always honour. It’s a time for gratitude, for remembrance, and for paying tribute to those who were never able to come home. It’s to thank the families of our soldiers, the veterans who have served, and grieve the ones who aren’t coming home. Words cannot express our gratitude, for you fought for and gave us far more than we can ever repay.

Lest We Forget

TIPS:
How to Pack A Carry-On Like A Pro
Envious of those that travel with JUST A CARRY ON?

Tips to remember when packing a carry-on:
**invest in a new carry on bag
**lightweight fabrics
**gliding wheels that can move in any direction
** USB chargers, digital scales and location-tracking are a few must-have amenities for the modern-day suitcase.
**hint:
Bring along a tape measure when shopping to ensure that the carry-on is compact enough.

Make Time to Pack:
** about an hour, to get it right.
**check the pockets and discard any remnants from previous trips
**fill every space

Select Items that Spark Joy:
**choose clothing that you love and will want to wear
**streamline your wardrobe and pick items to mix and match
**5 day trip --follow the 5,4,3,2,1 rule--5 underwear and socks, 4 tops, 3 bottoms and 2 pairs shoes, 1 purse
**throw in a versatile dress and jacket
**more that week--make time to do laundry

Consider Clothing Materials--for space and weight
**denim is heavier than cotton
**flats rather than boots
**if boots, sweater and jeans spark joy --incorporate them into your plane outfit

Fold Clothing Carefully
**lay item flat, smooth out, fold in rectangle and stack side by side before placing in suitcase
**arrange items like a Tetris ( puzzle) game--start organized, makes unpacking a cinch

Fill Every Inch of Space
**pack shoes heel to toe, stuff soles with socks
**place heavy items like shoes or hair tools in bottom of case--drape clothing around them
**use every inch of space

Figure Out Your Preferred Packing Method:
**rectangle folding
**rolling into tight cylinders
**compression bags
**bundling technique

Coordinate with Travel Companions:
**one bring the shampoo.. the other face wash
**one bring the curling iron, one bring the outlet converter , one bring the sunscreen.. etc
**if staying in hotel--it should have a hair dryer and basic toiletries
**make sure all liquids are according to TSA rules

Keep Liquids on Top
**keep liquids on top in clear ziplock baggie in your carry on--for easy access for security check

Leave Behind Unnecessary Gear
**baby gear--call hotel to check if you can rent, often cheaper than travelling with it
**one small piece of technology is enough

Master an Outfit Plan:
**assess all events and activities on your itinerary
**pre-plan the exact outfit for each activity
**especially if going to attend a special celebration

Remember to choose items you are excited to wear!

No Stress, No Hassle, No Problem
