Traveling lightly

I certainly don't travel THIS lightly but I can say that everything I own in this world fits into one or two suitcases! It has been this way for three or so years now becasue I tend to move a lot with my work. It definitely makes things easier this way for someone like me.

Umm I have too much stuff to take with me so I know I couldn't do it, unless its an overnight visit then I could.

WHen I was backpacking I had to make it really light, had no other choice if I was carrying it all on my back:) Just like the lady you met, I had only the essential and I learned by experience that the essential is not as much as one thinks at first LOL Actually, as a rule - maybe because of the backpacking thing - I like to travel light. I never take too much with me when I travel. I take things that can travel well, wash easily and don't wrinkle:) I take only the minimum necessary and never waste time thinking about what else to take LOL

Oh my... i don't think i can manage with only a few items when travelling... i wonder where or how she washes her clothes... in my case... i always take something extra just in case... so i would bring a big hand bag... and another bag where i will put my clothing items and my own towel...

I just came back from Winnipeg. I went there for 5 days to visit my husband. I took just a handbag type of suitcase with me so that I could just take it on the plane with me instead of checking it in. I don't like waiting at an airport for my bags so I pack lightly. I don't bother to take anything like toothepaste or shampoo because I just use the person's I am visiting so I only have to take enough clothes to last a few days. If I need to I can always wash them where ever I am if it isn't enough. I have done that in the past. But usually I only need a few pairs of underwear and a couple tops and a couple pants and some socks. That's about it. Alrighty then, talk to you later my friend, Have a good mylotting day, Chris

Because of the absurd delays in handling hold luggage and the risk of losing or damaging it, i always prefer to travel with just hand luggage. Aeroplane travel is such a nightmare these days with the absurd over-reaction of western governments allegedly afraid of terrorist attacks that the less you carry the better. Some budge airlines are now rewarding hand luggage only passengers by charging extra to people with hold luggae - I say good on them! Besides, msot thinsg are cheaper overseas so I can buy them when I get there and help the locals!

Wow I take my hat off to the lady, did she have a hat? LOL I definitely couldn't do that, my washbag would take up so much room as I have creams and ointments and stuff as well as a first aid kit just in case! I am a boy scout I take everything that I could possibly need. I would need far more clothes, I know you can wash them out but I would feel totally lost with what she had, but I admire her being able to do that. There's nothing worst than travelling with baggage to slow you down.
