This January we went on a combined trip to China and Napa Valley. I took a 28 inch roller bag AND a 21 inch carry-on.
It was a nightmare. Repacking in each city and worrying about weight limits pushed me over the edge. I vowed I would change my overpacking ways.
This month, we are going on a 14 day trip to Australia. This time I am only taking the 21 inch carry on.
Here’s my packing list:
| Clothes 2 pairs of quick dry cargo pants 1 pair of leggings 3 dresses 1 pair of shorts 1 pair of tights 3 quick dry shirts 2 pair of quick dry underwear 2 pairs of quick dry socks 2 quick dry bras 1 swimsuit 1 pair of Teva sandals 1 pair of flip flops 1 pair of dress sandals 1 pair of pajamas 2 lightweight sweaters 1 pullover fleece 1 umbrella Woolite Shawl to double as a scarf or blanket For the Plane Headphones Camera and charger iPad loaded with a season of a tv show 2 regular books 4 magazines Playing cards Inflatable pillow Hand sanitizer Emer-Gen-C | Toiletries (Everything less than 3 oz) 2 shampoo and conditioner 1 face wash 1 moisturizer Foundation Blush Mascara 2 lip gloss/lipstick 1 lotion Small bar of soap Nail file Contacts Toothbrush 2 toothpaste Deodorant Brush Medicine Alka seltzer cold and sinus & regular Imodium A/D Advil and Tylenol Band aids Trip Research Printed itinerary with potential things to do Copy of passports Magazine articles that I clipped Travel books |
