Travel Guide: Five Secrets to Traveling Light
1. Limit your clothing options
Having multiple wardrobe options is a luxury the light traveler cannot afford. Instead, pack different pieces in the same color palette. You’ll be surprised at all the different ways a few items can work together. Bring simple jewelry and a scarf to add flair to your outfits.
2. Pack only two or three pairs of shoes
Limit yourself to just two or three pairs of shoes, always putting comfort first. Choose a good pair of walking shoes and one versatile dressy pair. Bring flip-flops if the pool or the beach is a possibility.
3. Travel sized toiletries
Purchase mini bottles (or reuse empty hotel shampoo bottles) to hold your essential products. Think about what you’ll be doing and only bring what you really need. Are four shades of lipstick really necessary? Probably not.
4. Bring a personal item bag
Personal item bags are allowed on airplanes in addition to a carry-on. Choose a large purse, small backpack or messenger bag to carry your phone charger, passport, wallet, snacks, water bottle and any other essentials.
5. Read eBooks
Physical books are heavy and take up a lot of space. Before taking off, download eBooks on your phone or tablet. You’ll be able to bring more while saving lots of space.
Packing for a trip can be a lesson in frustration. You intend to pack light, but that voice inside your head that says “I need all of this stuff!” can be pretty bossy. Collette tours has recently partnered with Union Plus to offer discounts on guided tours around the world. With 100 years of travel experience, their travel experts have shared these secrets to avoid over-packing for your next vacation.

- Haymarket Martyrs Memorial — Chicago, IL
On May 4, 1886, what began as a peaceful rally to protest unfair working conditions erupted into violence after a man threw a bomb at police, resulting in injuries and deaths among both protesting workers and police officers. Eight union activists were wrongfully accused, convicted and hanged. This monument is a reminder of the lives lost during the fight for workers rights.
Fun fact: Visitors often leave union buttons, flowers and other tokens at the base of the monument.

Planning a Road Trip? Five Tips for Rental Car Safety
Renting a car this weekend? Whether you’re heading off for a last-minute getaway or you’ve been planning a trip for months, these simple tips can help you stay safe and enjoy your journey.
1. Prevent Distracted Driving
Safe driving and avoiding distractions are important whenever you’re behind the wheel, and especially if you’ve rented a car to drive in an unfamiliar area. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2015, over 3,400 people were killed, and 391,000 injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers. Distractions may include texting, talking on a phone or anything that causes you to lose focus on the road ahead and driving conditions.
Help reduce the chances of an accident in your rental car by staying focused and alert — make necessary adjustments to your vehicle before you start driving, tell your other passengers to keep noise levels down and don’t respond to calls or text messages while you’re behind the wheel.
2. Plan Your Routes Ahead of Time
You might want your road trip to feel like a spontaneous adventure, but it’s good to have an idea of where you’re going, where you’re staying, what sites you plan to visit, restaurants and rest stops along the way so you can plan your driving route carefully. Online services like Roadtrippers can help you plan ahead, so you can avoid getting lost in an unsafe area, or extra charges for added mileage on your rental car.
3. Let Map Apps Guide You While Driving
Even if you plan your driving routes ahead of your trip, navigation apps like Waze or Google Maps can help keep you on track with voice directions while you’re driving. If you take a wrong turn, most apps will recalculate and help get you back on track, so you don’t have to worry about looking at a map or having your copilot read off directions the whole time. Another bonus, these apps often include navigation adjustments based on real-time construction, road closures or accidents.
Pick up a car mount for your cell phone that attaches to your vehicle’s air vent before your trip so you can stay hands-free while driving.
4. Research Local By-Laws Before You Go
Nothing disrupts a long-anticipated trip like a traffic ticket. Before heading out, research the local laws and regulations, which may differ by state. For example, can you turn right at a red light? Are U-turns legal? And where is it okay to park? Know the rules ahead of time to stay safe and avoid aggravation when you’re driving in a new place.
5. Make Sure You Have Rental Car Insurance
For an extra layer of protection and peace of mind, make sure your car insurance policy covers rental cars. If you have an accident, the costs to the rental agency are covered. These costs could include:
- Loss of use: The agency’s lost daily income because the car couldn’t be used
- Reasonable fees and charges: Like storage or other costs charged by the rental company
- Market value loss of the damaged rental car: In states other than North Carolina, there may be a charge for the loss of value of the car even after it’s been repaired.
Planning ahead for a road trip doesn’t have to be complicated. Make sure your rental car experience is a safe one, so you can save yourself time, money and stress.
MetLife Auto Insurance offered by Union Plus covers rental cars. CALL 1-855-666-5797 and mention discount code DJ7 or GET A QUOTE ONLINE.
There's nothing quite like hitting the open road. Road trips are a great way to explore scenic highways and unfamiliar cities and towns. Stay safe and enjoy your journey with these tips for rental car safety.
