Making Travel a Little Sweeter – Suite Arrival

I was so inspired by the post a couple of a weeks ago Ten Tips for Packing Light, I couldn’t help but start thinking about more ways to make traveling a little easier.

My biggest issue when I travel is toiletries! I have very sensitive skin, and that coupled with my contact lens necessities means I have an assortment of bottles and jars I simply HAVE to bring with me when I’m traveling.

Not to mention, isn’t it kind of nice to have a little bit of home with you while you’re on vacation or a business trip. It’s a comfort to have your favorite lotion or bodywash. It will even help stave off feelings of homesickness!

Now, the problem with toiletries is how strict airline rules are regarding them! Ziplock baggies, practically microscopic amounts – not to mention, what a hassle when you get to your destination, and your toiletries have succumbed to the pressure changes of the plane – and you’ve got a mess on your hands (and your clothes!). Didn’t you go on vacation to get away from clutter? Sheesh!

That’s why I’m getting ready to book a vacation strictly to try out this new service: Suite Arrival! Suite Arrival lets “you create your personal travel kit and we send it to your hotel. Choose your favorite shampoo, body wash and leave the hassle behind.” This service is great, especially if you’re like me and like to travel with only a carry-on. No more worrying about TSA workers tossing my shampoo! Suite Arrival is priced really competitively as well, it even works out as being a little cheaper than if you bought all of your toiletries at your destination. Plus, having a little custom kit waiting for you at your hotel – that’s a sure fire way to feel like a rock star!

What new services have you heard of that will take a little hassle out of – and put a little luxury back into traveling? Let me know!
