For years, I’ve been hearing about the marvelous creation called packing cubes. Packing has never been a problem for me. I’m an experienced traveler and, therefore, have a lot of experience packing suitcases. Who needs packing cubes, I thought.

Oh, how wrong I was.

Last year, on a whim, I purchased a set of packing cubes.

I decided on a set of four cubes plus a shoe bag and used them during a trip in December 2023. As soon as I’d zipped up my suitcase, I informed my husband packing cubes were the way to go.

Resistance on my part had been pure stupidity.

With cubes, I packed in a shorter time and in a more organized way. During our one night in a hotel, I was able to find what I wanted easily without messing up my entire suitcase.

Unpacking was a breeze, too.

I admit it. I am a convert. And not only me but my husband as well.

This week, I purchased him a set of packing cubes just in time for our next trip.

Do you use packing cubes? If not, why not?
