How do you pack for a trip in a carryon?

re post 31–It is too a contest!

We went to Greece a few years back and I pretty much wore the same thing every day. All my pictures look alike. It was really hot and we were outside nearly all the time so I kept wearing the coolest top I had. I just washed it out at night and hung it to dry. Once I just rinsed it out, rolled it in a towel and put it back on. It was great. I came back with a suitcase of unworn clothing. After that trip I went looking for quick dry, non-wrinkle travel clothes and pared down considerably.

Really, the biggest trick is finding clothes in non-wrinkle fabric. Most roll to nothing. Not too bad these days for women but I wish there was more light-weight, non-wrinkle options for men.

I have an IT bag in the 20 inch size. It has wheels but is SUPER lightweight. Love it. Now it’s my go-to bag.

Wear a neck/waist belt in Rome–especially in train stations, subways, escalators etc. ALL the time. Take a purse that has a locking mechanism like a Travelon purse.
