How to stay organized but stylish while traveling?
I'm 16 and I'm flying on an ten-hour including transit flight to Italy in a couple of weeks (flying that long a distance alone for the first time) and I will be bringing along a notebook laptop and a small DSLR camera, but I'd preferably like to have my hands free so I don't lose or forget anything. How can I arrange my carry-on so everything fits? I dislike backpacks during the summer because they make my back feel sticky, and having just one bag would be ideal. Any suggestions for bags, or organizing tips?

Get a tote bag of some sort--there are many options, either through a luggage outfitter or from Land's End or l.l.bean. I do think you'd get the most room from a backpack, though. I would also have a non-paper folder that you can put any papers in (itinerary, confirmations, etc) so that they don't get crushed or crumbled. I just bought one for under $1 at Walmart yesterday myself for the same purpose. Get a plastic toiletry bag from either Walmart or Target's travel items' section. They are better than the standard quart-size ziplock bag becuase they are more durable and won't break/leak. You can put as many under 3 oz bottles in it that will fit. For me a mini deoderant, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, a comb, and some makeup is a must. I also invest in a travel wallet--it is large enough to fit your passport and you can keep all your other items (credit, debit, and driver's licenses) with you and everything (including cash, etc) is all in one wallet. Mine came from Crate & Barrel. When selecting a travel bag, make sure it has a section for your laptop...that will keep that part organized. Also make sure you have a case to protect your DSLR. Then you can put magazines, iPod, etc in the travel bag and have everything organized
