So with all this travel, I have (been forced to) dramatically improve my packing skills, and I can thank the Army for the help, or at least their clothing folding methods. My newest challenge is to pack for a two week trip with just carry-on luggage. I will be spending a week in North Carolina and then straight on to England for another week and my brother and beautiful soon to be sister-in-law's wedding!! I don't have checked luggage for the first leg of the trip so I won't have it for the second.
I just finished packing and here is what I managed to fit:
4 dresses (including two formal ones for rehearsal and wedding)
3 pairs of pants
3 pairs of shorts
12 shirts
Unmentionables!
5 pairs of socks
1 sweatshirt
1 jacket
1 swimsuit
4” heels
2 belts
2 pair tights
Accessories
Toiletries
Makeup pouch
You can't tell from the picture, but it zips easily, and I could probably sneak some more things in on top! My personal bag with hold my camera, computer, books, and anything else I may need.
I have to admit I am fairly impressed with the packing space this modified rolling method opens up!
How to: Life Hacker has an in depth tutorial on how to do it, but the easiest way is just to search for video like this one to explain it! Good Luck!
