Confession: I packed too much again! I estimate that I didn't use 3/4 of my suitcase, and coming home, trying to keep our bags under 50 pounds was quite a stressful challenge. Mental note: PACK LESS NEXT TIME!
Most important question to ask yourself: will you have access to laundry? If so, you will use WAY less than you think! While at home, I tend to have favorites in my wardrobe that once rewashed are worn again. When traveling, whether it be domestic or internationally, if I have access to laundry, I habitually dress by wearing my favorite, most comfortable items. Pack these items with only one or two back-up outfits.
While on the plane, I drank lots of water this time around, and my feet didn't swell like they have in the past, nor did I experience excessively dry skin on my face. I will link to The Girl from Panama, who has some great tips for self-care while traveling on a long flight. I second the importance of a facial mist and rich moisturizer! Just remember to keep these items under 3.4 ounces or less for carry-on luggage.
I am going to master the art of packing light! With annual trips to Australia, it is a must-have skill! The benefits to traveling light are countless, plus there's more room for souvenirs coming home! See a future post on this topic!
