You added your destination on your weather app. Your out-of-office notification is on. Chargers — check.

ABC News asked doctors about must-have medications and products for travel that can relieve some of the pain and stress. Here’s what they had to say.

Among the dozens of travel backpacks I’ve tried over the years, I have almost exclusively used the Incase A.R.C. Travel Pack on my trips. Not only have I taken the A.R.C. Travel Pack on

Amanda Ayala forgets to pack her own clothes on family trip in

A good toiletry bag is essential to a seamless packing routine. Olivia Baker for Observer

As any frequent traveler knows, a good toiletry bag is essential to a seamless packing process. While I pride myself on my ability to pack for pretty much any getaway in a single carry-on suitcase (pro tip: packing cubes are a game changer), it’s been more difficult finding the perfect TSA-ready toiletry bag for all my travel beauty needs over the years. Some fell apart at the seams within mere days of use, others were too tiny to fit even the most pared down selection

Here’s how I pack light when traveling with my family

I’ll never forget the first overnight trip with my then-4-month-old son for a weeklong conference in New Orleans. Being first-time parents, we packed everything we thought we would need and even more that we didn’t. But it’s better to have and not need, right? Not always.
