🧳 Travel Tip of the Day: Before you set off on your adventure, take a quick photo of your luggage. This handy tip is a lifesaver if your bags go missing during flights, cruises, or hotel stays. Including a picture of your bag can expedite its retrieval, allowing for a smoother journey. This tip proved invaluable to us last year when our bag went missing on a trip from Chicago to London. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, particularly when it comes to locating and reclaiming your belongings!
