I always pack lightly and efficiently. I hate the expense and hassle of checking luggage in; whether it’s an overnight business trip, travel for a week, or just travel for fun.  Therefore, I do everything I can to make sure everything fits into a carry-on.

For business trips, I tend to always pack the same type of items: sample size toiletries, a few suits, accessories, shoes, and my electronics!  While I’m confident I have a good packing technique, I’m always afraid of forgetting something (iPad charger, contact lenses, etc.). So, prior to each trip I used to create a packing list on a piece of paper that I’d eventually misplace or throw away. Quite a waste of time! This is why I was so happy to find an app that helps me with my packing and make sure I don’t forget anything. uPackingList allows you to create custom packing lists for each type of trip you take. You can refer to these lists any time you travel, update them, mark the items as packed, and more.

The free version of the app contains ads. The full version (without ads, photos, import and export features) will cost you $1.99.
