Travel Kit:
Use a compartmented kit that has a hook for hanging cosmetics, medications, razors, tooth brushes, toothpaste, soaps etc. These are sold at travel stores. They make handling many different small items a breeze. I keep mine ready to go with minimal restocking between trips so that the next time I travel I don't find out that something important has been forgotten.

Renting a Car:
Car rentals in Europe are often two or three times as expensive as in the United States, France can be very expensive, but!! If you reserve and pay for your hire in the US with a multinational (Hertz, Avis Dollar etc.) for collection in your arrival airport, you can get a good deal, especially if you do it in advance and negotiate a little.

Safeguard Your Luggage:
Use a durable ID card inside of your luggage to help return it if lost while traveling. Over 90% of lost luggage stays lost because the airline, cruise ship (or whatever) staff can't identify the owners in order to return it.
