What Do You Carry In Your Carry-On?

I don’t know about you, but I have definitely been stuck without luggage in a few places. I remember one family vacation we went on where we ended up without luggage for nearly a week. It finally arrived the last day of our trip! There’s nothing worse than not having a toothbrush, deodorant, clean undies, or your special face-wash.  Well actually, not having it and having to buy it all over again is much worse. If you just can’t get it all in one bag and you do have to check-in your luggage, make sure your carry-on is carrying what you need. These days, if I’m checking my luggage, I pack 2 carry-ons.

Loved it or Hated it: Read our review to know

If you are traveling to one of the cities where we have reviewed a restaurant or hotel you can minimize the element of suprise or avoid bad service all together by reading our reviews before you travel. From chains to hidden holes in the wall, we try to visit a variety of places and give you a first hand account of not only the food but the atmosphere for groups. Nothing is worse than planning a celebration dinner only to find out that this restaurant is tiny and really can’t handle large groups. We often visit in groups and we never let any establishment know they are being reviewed in advance so you always get a true account of any service on our site.

For hotels we look at rooms sizes and accomodations. Most chains were built with the business traveler or family of four (with 2 small children) in mind. So we take into account things like the number of mirrors, space for luggage, sofa beds or other sleeping areas, or extra rooms for our group travelers. You might be with your closest friends on a girls only getaway but putting four grown women in a tiny room with one poorly lit bathroom can ruin many a friendship!

Have a question for our travel team about what to pay attention to when you are planning a group trip or want to share a great find in restaurants or accomodations for group travelers with Escape Together subscribers? Email us at advice@escapetogether.com and include your name, email, the location, and any other details that would be helpful.
