Do you take plenty of luggage with you when you travel?

For me, if it is for vacation, yes, i see to it that i tend to bring all the necessities i need...so that in times of extending the vacation, i have enough things to wear...lol... But if it was for business, i just bring light baggage...depends on how many days we spend... How about you?

Hi sharie! I used to take plenty of luggage when I travel but I learned no to do that so that I can shop more and take home more when I get home. You see if the place that you'll be going will be a shopper's haven then you pack really light so that there's more space for your new acquisitions. Happy traveling and happy shopping :)

I usually OVER pack. It drives my boyfriend nuts. When we go anywhere even just over night I'm always bring a ton of stuff. How will I know what I am in the mood to where each day? lol A girl needs options! So, yeah, I definatly over pack.

It really depends on where I'm going, what I'm gonna do there, how long I'll be staying and who I am with. I'm not much of packer so I pack the essentials plus an extra dress and shirt and pants and underwear, generally that's it, unless there are specific stuff I need to be doing in the place.

I write a packing list then pack before seeing if I can take a few things out because my baggage is always too heavy. I take clothes that will suit the weather in the places that I go to on my trip. If I am going to a tropical beach I will take my snorkeling mask. I take toothpaste, toothbrush, contact lenses, deodorant, a comb, a small mirror and shampoo that also conditions. I take my travel towel. I usually take a few snacks like fruit bars, nuts, rice cakes and mini tubs of jam. I take my travel plate, cup and cutlery. I will make sure that I have my passport, air tickets, money, debit card and travel insurance details. I take travel wash and travel washing line. So you can see I travel with fairly heavy luggage and these days my toddler son's things as well. He needs things like his travel cot, catheters and travel kettle. It is great if I can buy his nappies overseas.

i prefer to travel light. the lighter the better. i don't like carrying heavy stuff all over. so when i travel i just bring the basic necessities like toiletries and clothing, especially if laundry facilities are available where i'm going so that i can wash some of my clothes there instead of bringing a whole bunch from home.
