My husband and I just got back from a trip to the west coast to attend our son's retirement from the Navy after 24 years, then on to our daughter's wedding as well as visiting friends and family.

One thing I found most useful was to place my earrings in those mini zip bags that you can buy for next to nothing at any craft store.

I put bottles of lotions and other liquids in ziplock bags so that when they are in the airplane hold which doesn't have full pressurization, the lotion doesn't ooze out all over everything else in my cosmetic bag. Pre-ziplock bags that happened to me and What a Gooey Mess!
When I travel, I put all the accessories, even undies in zippered bag. Write the outfit name on the bag (i.e.
