Ask your travel agent about the electric current and the necessary converter. Use plastic containers for makeup. Squeeze the sides of the containers as you put on the top and put them in baggies. Put things you will need first in a carry-on bag or on top of the suitcase. Place heavy items next to the suitcase hinges so they won't crush your clothes when the suitcase is upright.
Plastic bags can mark leather.
Small items like your travel alarm clock, cosmetics, film, tissues and jewelry can be put in the toes of shoes. Fold slips, panties and girdles in thirds and roll together to make a set. Bras should be folded in half, one cup inside the other, with a pair of stockings inserted. Nightgowns and robes are folded lengthwise in thirds and rolled. Fold slacks lengthwise on natural creases.
