Me as pillon, so only one gear sack between us. <br />We always try to fit in a change of 'good' or 'neat' clothes for going out to dinner - nothing worse than living in your bike gear nonstop for a week or two - even just a weekend! And my hairspray is essential - all help is needed for 'helmet hair'. <br />As to buying whatever you need - try buying a warm jumper in Australia in January because you're freezing when travelling on the bike! I prefer to take my own rather than buy something/anything to keep warm. And never leave home without wet weather gear!<br />So I'll be leaving my 'big girl panties' at home and squeezing in as many of my essential non-essentials as I can!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-13229289118996110392014-02-15T13:14:10.826-06:002014-02-15T13:14:10.826-06:00Mine look just like hers and came from QVC.

Every little item was accounted for. Then, when I had time I typed out a list for myself that I have used ever since. Keeps me from thinking and ruminating on what I need to take. There are also great lists you can download and use too. And wow, does it help to only pack the travel size in any thing I can. I do wish someone would invent a high powered hair dryer that was light weight. Those motel dryers are pathetic.

Then I empty the bottle when I leave. No time wasted ironing! I also never stress about packing my clothes. I do use XL ziploc bags and pack clothes separately by style, eg, tank tops, exercise clothes. The bags also fold flat nicely, and I don't worry about them getting damaged from anything leaking. annabellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00837528948737920380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-2288865399091935782013-09-14T17:31:10.587-05:002013-09-14T17:31:10.587-05:00I bought one similar at IKEAI bought one similar at IKEAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-67724895477659897022013-08-24T20:31:04.887-05:002013-08-24T20:31:04.887-05:00The only reason I read your blog post was I was ho...The only reason I read your blog post was I was hoping for tips on packing a makeup bag!

I use different sizes of plastic bags for jewelry sets; I put the earrings in a small plastic bag- actually hang them on a board from Pottery Barn on my wall- then put the necklace (or bracelet) in a larger plastic bag, with earring bag inside that. Sometimes I pack that bag inside the outfit I plan to wear it with, sometimes I pack all in a jewelry roll. I also use plastic garbage bags for dirty clothes, zip locks for some shoes (I like flats and they usually fit). As for electronics, like hairdryers, flat irons, and sound machines, I pack them on top, knowing that they are a red flag for someone going through bags, and may make it less likely for TSA agent to mess up my clothes. I put underwear in zip locks or sometimes the bags used in washer- putting in a couple,for clean/dirty or dark/light makes it easier when you get home.nckitkathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15393838533670188193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-77038243086102131572013-08-10T13:17:01.788-05:002013-08-10T13:17:01.788-05:00If you ask your dry cleaner for several dry cleani...If you ask your dry cleaner for several dry cleaning bags and then roll your ironed clothing pieces, once unrolled you will find wrinkle-free garments! <br />bbtflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17746487235501679407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-889576900362909682013-07-31T20:35:08.049-05:002013-07-31T20:35:08.049-05:00I used to use Ziploc bags for everything, but disc...I used to use Ziploc bags for everything, but discovered packing cubes from both e-Bags and Magellan travel a few years ago.

Instead, I use small mesh laundry bags. They're great for undies, etc. Very foldable and stuffable--as in stuff them in nooks and crannies in your suitcase, especially those indentations made by the handles. Also, when not flying, I like to pack toiletries and makeup in little tackle boxes with changeable dividers. When flying, you can use them for the non-liquids and gels. By the way, I love traveling so much that I stalk packing tips on the internet. Great ideas here!

It may be just the bags I had, but when I went camping a few weeks ago, I took a large maxpedition duffle bag and a smaller tote bag containing a few odds and ends. Throughout the week, I stuffed the dirty clothes in the tote bag. When it came time to pack up, I just put the tote bag where my clothes were in the duffle and it fit perfectly without having to fold them up nicely again.Echo Lamourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11233373657157281637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-14097811366022749922013-06-25T00:12:28.800-05:002013-06-25T00:12:28.800-05:00Your trip sounds like it was awesome!

I was in the Container Store the other day watching hoardes of people frantically buying all these travel related items. I kept it to myself, but couldn't help thinking of the last 8 years of my life, travelling in and out of the Middle East with just a back pack. If I can take multiple 14 + hour flights, with just a back pack, what is it we "really" need in these 55 pound suitcases? And one carry on bag really and truly means ONE carry on bag. Yesterday when I was returning from a short hop, I saw people gang together against a woman who had three bags lashed together and was claiming it was one. I love the neatly packed suitcases in this post and look forward to a trip I can take with more than just clothes that double as pajamas AND work out clothes LOL!!!!Sarahew88https://www.blogger.com/profile/11361853186006406895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-25888826526114369892013-06-21T10:07:09.910-05:002013-06-21T10:07:09.910-05:00Great tips! instead of a plastic bag for shoes, yo...Great tips! instead of a plastic bag for shoes, you should use a shower cap, so that the shoes don't get squashed together, and the shower caps take up less room.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-73361239093396936922013-05-24T04:08:18.026-05:002013-05-24T04:08:18.026-05:00Hi, I am from Belgium and I absolutly LOVE the bag...Hi, I am from Belgium and I absolutly LOVE the bags you used for your toiletries and jewels.<br />I have not seen anything like that here!
