Tips for good packing.

Every time I leave for a vacation , I pack to much stuff . I try to convince myself that I won't be using much stuff but I never travel light. I need some good packing tips, I want to become a light traveler but even if it's just for a weekend my friends say it's to much. How do I fit everything in one bag?

What comes around goes around.

Here's the packing list I use for myself when I go on a trip. My husband has a separate list but you can see where it goes from my list.   Clothing

1 pair of walking/comfortable shoes

1 pair of sandals (weather permitting)

1 rainproof jacket

2-4 pairs of shorts/capris/skorts

2 pairs of pants (one dressy, one casual), 1 belt

1 swimsuit (packed in a plastic bag)

5 pairs of socks (cotton blend)

5 pairs of underwear (silk, lace, or micro-fiber dries quickest)

1 extra bra

4-6 shirts (long/short-sleeved, various colors)

1-2 light cardigans for layering

1-2 skirts (wrinkle-resistant)

2 dresses (optional)

1 pair of pajamas (or long shirt to get you to the bathroom down the hall if necessary)

Toiletries/Medicine

Body soap/puff (washcloth); most European hotels do not supply washcloths

Toothbrush/toothpaste/floss

Shampoo/conditioner

Brush/comb

Lotion

Razor (non-electric)/shaving cream or soap

Sunscreen, insect repellent

Prescription drugs (in original container with your name and your doctor's name, write down generic name)

First aid kit/moleskin/blister kit

Feminine hygiene products

Deodorant

Nail clippers/file/tweezers

Spare glasses and/or prescription, mini-eyeglass repair kit, or contact lenses and supplies

Hand sanitizer

Vitamins

OTC remedies (whatever works for you): Pepto, decongestants, etc.

Clothesline, sink stopper, soap
