How is everyone doing today?
I'm feeling happy as I managed to figure out how to fit 5 days worth of essentials into a small (read EasyJet sized) cabin case with room to spare.
There are a few changes made from last time (I was in Rome) that have enabled me to fit 5 days (instead of 3 days) worth of essentials with no vacuum bags or other tricks.I used the same technique as last time (rolling your clothes instead of folding them and putting them on top of each other.If you're not sure what this is please see the video below) but there are still a few differences from how I packed last time.
In case you're wondering what trip this is for,well it's for the trip to Barcelona this summer.
If everything in the clothing/essentials department is the same (except 2 more days are added on),then how can I fit 5 days worth into a small cabin (or carry-on/hand luggage)?What are the differences this time?Can you my fellow readers,guess what I've done differently or how I've managed to do it (despite adding an iPad Air to the mix to email photos back home and 3 extra accessories)?
The person who guesses correctly will get the prize of being a guest author of this travel blog meaning that there'll be even better content on here than before,so start posting your suggestions in the comments section of this post please as I want this to be a fun contest which will end when the person guesses correctly and wins the prize. :-)
My guess is you got rid of shower gel and shampoo since hotels give this to you free nyway
ReplyDeleteYeah that's one of the changes I made but it's not the only one I needed to make in my packing.Also bear in mind that while most hotels give you free shampoo/shower gel,a fair number of them don't (especially in the developing world I heard) so make sure to pack it if travelling off outside the hotel for a while.
DeleteDid you pack shorts instead of pants?
ReplyDeleteGuessing you got rid of the shirts and replaced it with something lighter?
ReplyDeleteGot rid of the digital camera?
ReplyDeleteNo I kept it as I find that phone cameras don't let me take photos from really far away yet (they don't offer the 35x zoom that my camera does).
DeleteGreat pics,love the Rome ones:)Barry.
