As the kids get older, then they become more like little adults, and they can carry their own gear, and they can pack light just like mom and dad. That was my philosophy when I had tiny kids. Just rent the car and go from airport to airport with the car and take whatever the mom thinks is important to take. "When the kids are really little, forget about packing light. Don't stress out about that." On traveling with kids If you get a step to 65% clean, that's dang good when you're on the road. My philosophy about washing clothes on the road is you don't need to have the high standards that you have at home. I use the shampoo that comes in the hotel room. "I just wash my laundry in the sink generally. I generally wait to board till the very end, and I just always find a place to squish my bag up on top." On doing laundry on the road These days, with all the chaos and frustration at airports, that's more important than ever. Here are some highlights: On traveling light That works really well for me."ĭuring our interview, Steves offered plenty of non-product-specific travel advice that's too useful not to share. If there's a fancy bag and this bag sitting there in the hotel lobby, and a thief wants to grab one, they're not going to grab mine. But, I can't get a better bag than that for my purposes," Steves added. "It only costs, what, about a hundred dollars? If somebody said 'this bag's better' and it costs $400, I'd buy it. I like it because it's squishy, so it fits in the overhead locker with no problem." You can carry it like a suitcase and hide the shoulder straps, or you can pull out the shoulder straps and throw it on your back. To me, it's got a real smart configuration of pockets with a laptop in mind and with a quick ability to stow things when you're going through security and a big panel in the flap that is really good for putting shirts. "It's designed to be as big as you can take onto the airplane. "The carry-on bag that I use, I designed, and I just love it," said Steves. Here are the products Steves considers indispensable when traveling: So, we've included his favorites from his product line in our roundup. However, Steves helped design the products and uses them when he travels. We tend to avoid including recommendations when an individual has a financial interest in the product. Steves has his own line of travel gear that he sells on his site. We caught up with Steves while he was home in Washington state to learn what exactly he packs in his carry-on. If you need something, you buy it," Steves told Insider. "When you're going on an international trip, especially Europe, you pack for the best scenario, not the worst scenario. He still spends 4 months out of the year in Europe filming and researching his show. Steves is best known for his travel show " Rick Steves' Europe" detailing his travels throughout Europe and beyond. Nightmare is too weak of a word.If you've watched public television in the last 30 years, chances are you're familiar with Rick Steves. I was only reimbursed for the unused permit $260. Through these 4 days they called me once and made NO effort to work with me or take any responsibility for their mistake. Ultimately I had to pay for the hotel to extend my stay 3 days, rent a U-Haul van, and drive 60 miles to retrieve my belongings (while also getting hit by a semi). I had a flight booked to leave Boston on 09-04-22. I returned the call, and spoke with Stephanie (Escalations) suggesting I go to the permit office on Tuesday 09-06-22 to try for a 4 space permit. At 5:45pm, I received a voicemail from Carlos who said, "They do need 4 spaces to park" also stating I could go to the warehouse to pick it up myself Tuesday. I promptly called 1-800-PACKRAT and spoke with Melody who would call me back. You have to go to the warehouse to get your stuff". At 2pm the driver called and at 3pm he arrived on the wrong side of the street yelling out the window "That's not enough space. On 09-03-22 I called to get a delivery time and was told 3-5 pm- NOT the morning. At 5:23pm, I was notified that there was a break-down of a truck and my delivery would be "first thing the next morning".
I called packrat on delivery day 09-02-22 since I heard nothing and was given a time frame of 11:45am - 3:45pm. I had to work with "Permit Pullers" paying a total of $260 for a 2 parking space permit for 48 hours: 09-02-22 - 09-03-22. When I called the city, they said this must be done in person. She said I needed a permit from the city of Boston for 2 parking spaces to allow the 8 foot container to be delivered. I booked the move informing her that the pickup was from a home with a driveway, but asked how the delivery in Boston, a major city with parallel parking would work.
The rep said they "want my business" and met the quote I received from PODS ($2250.00). I called 1-800-packrat on 08-17-22 to get a quote.
