This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Atlantic Luggage for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

As avid family travelers, I pack a lot of suitcases and I do mean A LOT. I pack for me, for my husband and for the rest of the family. In fact, sometimes I feel like we always have one suitcase packed around the house. There is always someone going somewhere but I pride myself on packing the perfect suitcase.

ABOUT ATLANTIC LUGGAGE

Atlantic Luggage is a lightweight and incredibly durable option for your luggage needs. They also have a great selection of pieces available in a variety of colors and sizes. This makes Atlantic luggage the perfect option for your family because everyone can have their own suitcase.

OUR THOUGHTS ON OUR LUGGAGE

The Atlantic Solstice Collection is by far our favorite. We received a the large, purple suitcase pictured above and I was able to pack for one week for my husband and all three of my children. All in that one suitcase. What I really love is that this piece of luggage only weighs 10 pounds so that means I still have 40 pounds to go and I can pack a LOT into those 40 pounds.

DIMENSIONS: 28 x 18 x 12

Having one suitcase for four people makes travel so much easier. We just cut down by half of what we would normally bring with us on a trip. The suitcase has sleek lines and really looks great. The purple color definitely stands out. The interior is pretty basic which allows you to really get a lot inside.

HOW WE TRAVEL SMARTER

I consider myself an expert in family travel since we travel so much. In order to maximize our luggage space and to always be able to bring home souvenirs, there are several things that we consistently do when traveling.

1. Roll and Stuff Everything

We tightly roll all of our clothing in our luggage and we even stuff our shoes with rolled clothing to maximize space.

2. Weigh Everything

We also weigh everything before we go to the airport so when we check our luggage, there are no surprises.

3. List it all

I make a list to pack from and this list is great because I use it again when we are leaving to ensure we are bringing everything home. This also works if luggage is lost and then you have an exact list of what was inside.
