When packing flashlights or other battery-powered devices that might easily switch on, always turn the batteries around inside the device -- or, remove one or more of the batteries completely from the device.

This way, if the item is accidentally turned on while hiking or moving about, you won't drain the batteries.

When traveling over the holidays with gifts, never pre-wrap!

Wrapped items may need to be inspected by the TSA, and that could mean they'll be unwrapped by security before you even get to your destination. Go ahead and pack the gifts, but either pack a few sheets of wrapping paper -- or just plan to purchase paper at your destination -- and tend to the task after landing
