Travel Tip: Pack Smart with Resealable Storage Bags

I always take three different sizes, and here’s why these bags are a traveler’s best friend:

  • Protect Electronics: Keep your gadgets safe from rain or accidental splashes.
  • Snack Storage: Carry extra snacks without any mess.
  • Easy Organization: Keep your belongings neatly organized and easy to find.

I prefer the freezer bags for gallon and quart sizes as they hold up better for longer trips—a simple addition to your packing list that can make a big difference! I just stick a couple extra in my suitcase or backpack pockets.

We Don’t Always Travel on Points—But We Always Collect Them Over the years, we’ve learned this simple truth: even if you don’t plan your whole trip using points, you should always be collecting them.
