When I was in rehab after my broken hip in Jan 2023 my hubby decided to reorganize my dresser and as a result my packing cubes have gone missing, he does not have a clue where they are. Well Amazon to the resuce. I am furious with him for touching my stuff to begin with. End of Rant

I would be very annoyed too!

 

Honestly, my husband knows better than to ever reorganize my personal things....he wouldn't even reorganize stuff in the kitchen!

 

ETA:  I'm curious.....what do you plan on doing there at the hotel in Syosett besides going to the pool?  Are there any interesting things to see & do in the area?

 

Many years ago my DH would go up to Syosett from where we living in NJ at the time every other week.  He had to stay over but I wasn't familiar with the area.  He also had to go out to California every few weeks back then too.

I bought myself a nice brand new set of luggage last year.  However, I have never bought or used packing cubes.  They sound like something I'd need if they really help you to get more things into a carry on though lol.  I might try some.😃

@cheriere :  I have used them for years.  Why I like them is because I can sort out every category and put into one cube.......underwear, pj's, casual wear, shoes, makeup, dress up clothes.  It also means that my clothing is not jumbled up when I open my suitcase.  I think it really does save space for me.  Try them!!!

Thanks for letting me know how good they work.  I could definitely do with the organizational aspects too.  I should get a couple sets to start or I'll end up wishing I'd purchased another lol.  I may wait to see if we have another free shipping day in the near future.

 

Thanks again.💝🌸

@cheriere  You can get them much cheaper and faster on Amazon.

Re: Packing Cubes- Husband Rant

I have a quite a collection of packing cubes and packing envelopes.  Mine are over 25 years old.

 

I store them in my suitcase.

 

Husband reorganized a dresser?  My husband never even organized his own dresser let alone mine.

 

I bought my packing cubes at ebags.  They last forever and the prices are wonderful. I looked to see if they still sell them.  They do and the prices are so low, they are almost free.  They are 50% off, plus another 10% discount.

Thank you for letting me know about trying to get them there.  They are quite expensive on the Q.  They probably offer more in a set too.  I really appreciate this, thanks again.🌸

@I am still oxox  I'm sorry about the missing packing cubes- I wonder where they are? Could they be folded under the bed in that same room or put in storage in the garage? I'm glad that you were able to get new packing cubes.
