st of all,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], let's make sure we're explicit aboard why we ought be thinking traveling light at all, because it does take some exertion in advance, and our time is expensive.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that this summer is projected to be the worst ever for congestion and delays. No checked luggage = one less line at the departure hangar.
Many airlines are now charging $50 and up to check more than an sack. It's fair a material of time ahead they begin charging because always checked luggage, the same path they dictate as beverages. No checked luggage = more money apt spend by the destination.
It's no great secret that lost luggage claims are up, also. No checked luggage = no lost luggage.
Here's my favorite: when we arrived in Spain at night-time later 18 hours of traveling, we got off the plane and walked directly to customs and on to floor transportation. No checked luggage = not waiting 30+ minutes at your destination when you're sick to death of traveling and just want to get out of there. When we return, it will be the same sweet anecdote.
We move effortlessly from place to area because we're only carrying 20 pounds every plus Kirk's backpack and my travel bag. Our backs feel excellent. No checked luggage = consciousness nice.
Now, let's move on the success secrets for traveling light.
The number one secret is to bring only clothing that can be washed in a bathroom sink and hung to dry overnight. For commerce, it method a well-coordinated closet of dark suits that can be dry-cleaned through the hostel service if needed. Everything else gets washed out in the sink. It takes 10 minutes in the evening. No big handle. It's not like we're trying to recreate the full wash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wash, and whirl wheels here!
Because we didn't own many items that would dry overnight, and they are not readily available in stores, we spent two months mandating clothing from specialty travel catalogues and then sending behind alternatively exchanging all the items that didn't eligible.
We studied via this experience that the target mart for travel clothes is considerably more, uh, mature than we are, so it took a tiny creativity to dress our old and not favor the shuffleboard-on-the-lido-deck audience. I bruise up buying maximum of my clothing at the Benetton store close my bureau while they got in a large cargo of linen.
When you travel light, anything has to coordinate with everything another. We couldn't just discard all our preferences into multiple suitcases. The best way to figure this out is to take a practice trip. We visited Kirk's mom in San Diego in mid-April (that's us on the coast in Encinitas), so we packed for if we were going on our 19-day trip.
It was eye-opening. Even though we thought we had demonstrated amazing self-discipline, we saw that not everything really looked good with everything else, and we could tear even more stuff, leaving room fknow next to nothing ofuvenirs. Our souvenirs of Encinitas were two vessels of granola from our favorite coffee shop and 6 books that I just couldn't withstand at a cool local bookstore. Nice and bulky and heavy. This was too when I realized I would must limit the number of writings I schlepped around Europe!
This leads me to the second biggest mysterious to voyaging light: We seriously limited the digit of ponderous things. We did finally judge to package our iPod and speakers, though, for we adore having our collection of spanish music with us. I ditched a dress and two tops to make apartment for it. I haven't missed them a bit.
The third biggest secret: Pack enough toiletries to get started, not for the entire trip. When you meditation approximately it, this is truly imperative because you can't fit shampoo for 3 weeks into a 2.5 ounce flask! Almost anywhere in the world, you can buy a bottle of shampoo, and just depart back what you don't use at the end of the junket.
The fourth: Plan to purchase some souvenirs namely you can use while there. I brought merely one scarf, even though I knew I'd
