FAQ: Do you have any good packing tips for me?

Answer:

Yes, take half of what you think you need. You don't need it all. You can purchase what you forgot at the nearby store when you arrive. Keep your pack light and your path easy. Do you need a hair dryer? Maybe not. Ask whether the hotel has one.

Do you need a lot of makeup? Maybe not as you are traveling.

Do you need an outfit for every day? No, you can mix and match, so keep the colors simple, and don't overdo the clothing. You may not even need half of it. Now you have room in your suitcase for souvenirs and gifts for those friends back home.

The 60-second confidence challenge is to remove half of your items from your suitcase before you travel. Lighten your load. You can get it later, most of the time, if you really need it. And you likely don't need all of those clothes you packed. You are not packing for Instagram photos, you are packing for you. That's the challenge. If you pack lighter, you are more sustainable, can relax more about your "stuff", and pay less in baggage fees. You are lighter in every way.

Today's destination: Idaho Travel



Here is a Summer and Fall Travel Guide

When I think of Idaho, I used to think first of potatoes, but the real story is much bigger. Idaho is a wonderful destination for a summer or fall vacation, with mountain scenery, lakes, charming towns, outdoor recreation, and easy access to some of the most beautiful parts of the American West.

I've been fortunate to visit Idaho on several different trips, and each one showed me a different side of the state. Idaho is a Step 2 travel destination. It's far for most people, but it's still quite familiar for a solo traveler.

One of my most memorable visits was a week-long ski trip to Sun Valley. Although Sun Valley is famous as a winter destination, it also makes a terrific summer and fall getaway. The mountain scenery is stunning, the town has an upscale but relaxed atmosphere, and there are plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, and simply enjoying the fresh air. Sun Valley has long attracted celebrities, and during my visit, I had a truly special experience: I met Clint Eastwood there. He was also skiing, and I, with my friends, met him in a restaurant. He joined our group, and we danced with him. He was very kind and gracious to us, and that made the trip even more unforgettable. It's not every day that a vacation gives you both beautiful mountain memories and a Hollywood story to tell.

If you visit Sun Valley in summer, you can enjoy long sunny days, wildflowers, scenic chairlift rides, golf, horseback riding, and peaceful walks through town. In the fall, the changing leaves bring beautiful color to the valley, and the cooler temperatures make it especially pleasant for outdoor activities. Ketchum and nearby Hailey also offer restaurants, galleries, and a welcoming small-town feel that make the area attractive even beyond the natural scenery.

On another trip, I passed through Idaho Falls on the way to and from Yellowstone National Park. That's one of the great advantages of Idaho: it works beautifully as either a destination of its own or as part of a larger western road trip. Eastern Idaho offers dramatic landscapes, rivers, and open spaces that help set the mood for a national park adventure. If you are planning a Yellowstone trip, consider spending extra time in Idaho rather than rushing through. You'll find scenic byways, small towns, and a quieter pace that can be a nice contrast to the crowds often found in the national parks.

I also spent time in Boise, which gave me yet another perspective on Idaho. Boise is the state capital, but it feels approachable, green, and easy to enjoy. For travelers looking for a mix of city attractions and outdoor access, Boise is an excellent choice. You can stroll through downtown, enjoy local restaurants and coffee shops, visit parks along the Boise River, and explore the city's cultural side with museums, public art, and neighborhood markets. In summer, Boise is lively and active, while in fall, the cooler weather makes sightseeing very comfortable. It's a city that feels friendly and manageable, which can be a real plus for vacationers who want a relaxed urban stop.
