When I go on vacation, to an weekend training event, or anywhere….I always pack too much! What about you? In the past there have been times when I have had trouble even lifting my suitcase to be checked luggage.
The last time I traveled, I was away for three nights and had this huge suitcase. I had to pay extra to check it. I hate that the airlines have increased their prices and now charge for what used to be FREE! I feel like I am paying double….more for the ride and then an extra fee for to take a suitcase.
Anyway, I decided this trip I was going to only take a carryon. I knew it would be a challenge. I told my husband and he didn’t think I could do it. I started with a regular size carryon suitcase. The maximum that would fit in the overhead compartments. Halfway through the week, I decided I could use a smaller suitcase. So I transferred my items to one that was several inches smaller. Then I decided it was still bigger than I actually needed so I transferred to an even smaller suitcase. You can see in the picture the differences in size.
So I am packed. Everything is in the small bag. Contents include 4 outfits, cosmetics, toiletries, 2 pairs of shoes, pj’s, underwear, swimsuit and coverup. some snacks, jewelry, curling iron, electronic cords, Ipad, and kindle.
I think I did quite well fitting them all in this little case.
So are you a light or heavy packer? Could you pack for a weekend in this little case?
