I learned some great tips. I roll cloth...I love it! I learned some great tips. I roll clothes, and fill empty cavities between things with socks, undies, that kind of thing. I hadn't thought of rolling them together! Brilliant!<br /><br />But I always carry my laptop, phone, chargers with me. When I travel now, I check ahead on the cost of luggage versus shipping materials for speaking engagements. It depends on the city which airline I can fly. If possible, I have supplies mailed right from my publisher rather than to me first and then to the destination. Why pay shipping twice?<br /><br />I color coordinate my clothes so I don't have to take many shoes. However, I tend to take flats rather than heels so they take up so much less space :-) <br /><br />I wear my bulky stuff too, and in winter, my boots that zip or slide on and off. <br /><br />The hardest is when it's a combined trip from winter weather to warm climes. Sometimes I wear my coat to the airport but leave it in the car and wear a light jacket liner for the plane.<br /><br />Great tips,<br />AngieAngBreidenbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193337694193623903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-1154921502508146342006-08-06T20:31:00.000-07:002006-08-06T20:31:00.000-07:00Brilliant.Brilliant.wonderturtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00075465519565901903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-1154739404896769402006-08-04T17:56:00.000-07:002006-08-04T17:56:00.000-07:00Wow - that's amazing...I have a 70L bag and always...Wow - that's amazing...I have a 70L bag and always feel so limited. Mind you, for me, that's progress..Used to lug 2 big suitcases everywhere. Quickly learned that carrying two suitcases up several flights of stairs was not fun. <BR/><BR/>I have a question about a plant...gonna post it on my blog. Maybe you can answer it.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02160883537054763513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-1154642542237068562006-08-03T15:02:00.000-07:002006-08-03T15:02:00.000-07:00I'd like my hubby to learn from you!:-)I'd like my hubby to learn from you!:-)Memory Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580708720438477465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-1154542385374780032006-08-02T11:13:00.000-07:002006-08-02T11:13:00.000-07:00What would really kick ass would be a vacuum clean...What would really kick ass would be a vacuum cleaner you could use to suck up all of your clothes and whatnot before a trip Then you could just carry the vacuum cleaner bag over your shoulder, or tie it to a stick.

The ones were you put your stuff in, suck all the air out, close it up and it's a third of the size? That could lead to unnecessary packing, I suppose.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17138282839627157992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30314848.post-1154478485955701882006-08-01T17:28:00.000-07:002006-08-01T17:28:00.000-07:00You're just like my wife!
