Over the past couple of years I've perfected my packing abilities for trips and for learning how to take only the essentials. Usually the trips I take are spread out just enough that I have plenty of time to be at home, regroup, do laundry, relax and plan. The past couple of months, my trips have coincided and overlapped a bit, but they revolved around going to similar places so my gear was the same.
However, in just a couple of weeks, I will be embarking on three trips spanning a month, and heading to three very different locales around the globe. Hence, packing for three trips. I certainly do not have enough underwear for a month and Victoria's Secret or Hanky Panky has not lowered their prices enough for me to carry a month worth of them with me! Plus, that takes up space and underwear is very easy to clean in the shower! (One of my tips for traveling lighter)
The only clothing that will be the same for all three trips is my bathing suit. That's not super helpful! When I pack, I use these amazing different size bags to organize by Eagle Creek, so I can separate different types of clothing into each of them. When I arrive at a destination, I can just put the individual bags in drawers (if i'm at a location long enough to do so), and then open the zipper and can gain easy access to my clothes without having to dig around to find what i'm looking for. Gallon size zip lock bags also work to help organize.
Packing for the first trip... my initial pairings!
I will have a 12 hour layover to do laundry and repack for the second two trips which will be Vegas and Utah... Flying into Vegas with three pairs of skis will be interesting!
The fourth trip I mentioned is actually my brother's and since he literally has no time, except maybe to shower, I am packing for him for a trip he's taking to another continent!
I will update with more as we get closer and of course, I will try my best to write daily updates when I travel.
