After 15 years of covering travel and shopping, I've made every packing mistake in the book. I've shown up to airports with bags so stuffed I had to check them at the gate and I've learned the hard way that most of what we pack never actually gets used.

1. Don't: Big hats
Hats take up more space than almost anything else in a bag. If it has any kind of structure or needs to hold its shape, you're either wearing it the entire trip or sacrificing precious real estate. The foldable visor I now travel with rolls up completely flat, works just as well for beach days and takes up almost no room at all. It's one of those swaps that seems small until you actually do it.

3. Don't: Multiple sandals
Shoes are the fastest way to overpack. The Cushionaire Cloud Slide is lightweight, easy to slip on and works for practically every scenario — a quick errand, walking between the beach and the hotel or just getting around the lobby. You'll be surprised how you never traveled without these.

5. Don't: Multiple tote bags
I used to bring a tote for the beach, one for sightseeing and another as a backup — which is as unnecessary as it sounds. A foldable tote in a neutral color covers every situation, packs down to almost nothing and goes with everything. It's the one bag that earns its spot every single trip.
