How To Pack For A Summer Vacay Midwinter

Gone are the days of throwing everything cute I own into a suitcase, purchasing several new pieces of clothing, and lugging around a heavy suitcase.

I always pack in outfits. Saves me time and helps me avoid bringing things I dont need.

Shopping like crazy for your next trip is fun, but when you take several trips a year it adds up... big time. I now try to find new outfits with the clothes I already own.

Ive been on team carryon for nearly a decade. Checking a bag isnt the worst thing in the world. I dont even have to pay for my first or second checked bag (perks of staying loyal to by beloved Delta Airlines). I prefer limiting myself to a carry on because:

1) It keeps me from overpacking and lugging around a heavy suitcase.

2) I dont have to wait for my luggage with the 200 people on my flight and I can get exploring that much faster.

3) If my bag is with me the whole time, the chances of the airline losing it is a big fat zero. No one wants to get to paradise and hear that their bag is in another city.

4) Less is more... mobility is everything.
