Summarize this article in one sentence.
If you’re flying, decide whether you are checking bags or just bringing carry-ons. If you’re driving, you’ll likely have a bit more space to pack extra items, depending on how many people you’re sharing your car with.  Check the regulations from the airline you’re flying with regarding size and weight requirements for both checked baggage and carry-ons. Most airlines will let you bring a small carry-on suitcase or overnight bag plus a personal item such as a purse, backpack, or laptop case. (A backpack is usually a good option if you’re going to be doing many touristy activities.) You’ll need a picture ID with your birthday on it in order to fly, rent a car, or buy alcohol.  It’s also a good idea to leave a copy of your photo ID with a friend or family member in case you lose yours while you are travelling. If you have an ATM card and a credit card, it’s a good idea to bring both. You should also bring some cash for tipping, vending machines, and parking. Pack different forms of payment in different places (one in your purse or backpack, another in your suitcase, another on your person) in case you lose your luggage. If you have AAA or belong to some sort of frequent flyer club, don't forget to bring the proof. You should also bring up-to-date insurance cards for yourself and anyone else in your family in case of emergency. If you’re driving your own car or renting, bring auto insurance information as well. You may want to bring phone numbers for your travel and insurance agents as well. No matter what season you’re traveling to Florida, the toiletries you need are likely to be pretty similar.  Put liquids in 3.4 oz (100 ml) containers and put the containers in a 1 quart bag. If you’re flying and not planning to check your baggage, you will have to put all of your liquids in small containers in order to get them through security. You can usually pick up travel-sized bottles of toiletries in the drug store. Depending on your personal needs, don’t forget  shampoo conditioner razor shaving cream aftershave toothbrush toothpaste lotion or moisturizer tampons and/or pads makeup sunscreen soap prescription medicines over-the-counter medicines you take often (such as pain relievers, vitamins, or antacids) As a general rule, pack enough underwear for every day of your visit plus 1-2 extra pairs. If you wear bras, don’t forget those and, if you’ll be active, remember sports bras. If you wear undershirts or camis, you will probably want a fresh one every day if it’s warm, but you can likely get away with wearing an undershirt twice in the winter. You can probably get away with about 1-2 sets of pjs per week if you’re not a particularly sweaty sleeper. If you tend to lounge around in your pjs in the evenings or mornings, you may want to bring an extra set or include some sweats or gym shorts and t-shirts. Particularly if you have limited packing space, it’s a good idea to pack a variety of clothes that you can mix and match. In particular, this will help limit the number of shoes you have to bring to match your outfits, which will free up quite a bit of space.   For example, many people find that it works well to bring a lot of black clothing and just a few pops of color. If you’re packing for summer in Florida, consider using beige or light brown as your color scheme. Pack a few brightly colored tank tops, headbands, or other small items to brighten up your vacation wardrobe. If you’re bringing a laptop, cellphone, or tablet, pack all of the accompanying chargers.  If you’re driving, you may want to consider chargers that plug into your vehicle.  You may want to consider a charger that works on multiple devices if possible. Many of them come with multiple prongs so that you can charge more than one device at a time. Load your electronics with movies and games for entertainment if you’re travelling with little ones. (Or maybe even if you’re not!) If you’re planning to take lots of pictures, be sure to bring a cord to transfer them to your computer in case you run out of space on your phone or camera.  Alternatively, make arrangements to upload them to the internet to free up space. Double check that there will be decent wifi at your destination, or you’ll have trouble doing this. Whether you’re headed to Florida on vacation or for a business trip, chances are good you’ll want to return with more than you came with.  Try to leave a little extra room in your suitcase for small souvenirs.
