"Tip number one, unpack immediately! Don't procrastinate," she stressed, likely hitting a nerve with plenty of people out there.

To help with the sometimes frustrating task, Babs shared a tip that works perfect if you're travelling as a pair, or even if you have two suitcases.

"We always put dirty clothes in one suitcase, and clean clothes in another," she explains.

"Dirty clothes go right from the suitcase into the [washing] machine, clean clothes right into your draw.

"And once your suitcases are empty, put them away, you don't want to be tripping over them in the middle of the night."

While one person admitted: "I still [have] an unpacked suitcase from five months ago in my hallway."
