With all
the restrictions on flying, now, I’ve been doing my best to make my packing
more compact. My thoughts on this are simple. If I have only a carry-on I
always know where it is. Also, I don’t have to worry about checked bag fees and
waiting on the luggage carousel. With this idea comes one fact that is
unavoidable: in order to limit the amount of luggage, do laundry. I’m fine with
this. Many hotels have laundry facilities for guests to use, and if not, use
the hotel sink, some hot water, and a little shampoo. The little time it takes
for this chore pays off in the long-run with not needing to pack large bags of
clothing.
