For me it's always been easy enough to pack and check suitcases with what I need but my sisters with young children have found that shipping a box of clothes (and other stuff) ahead to the destination is a winner. With little kids in tow it's so much easier to manage the act of travel without multiple extra pieces of luggage to worry about. And for my sisters who don't have frequent flyer status like I do, the cost of shipping a box of clothes is cheaper than airline bag fees.
