Tell me about your carry-on?

[TravelinGert]

I've finally learned to pack in a carry on, mostly. I also carry the largest purse they'll allow, though. ;)

 

"Purse" - actually a beach bag currently:

 

Medical / First Aid Kit: The usual OTC medications, band aids, antibiotic cream, motion sickness tabs, and ginger candy. Fits in a 2"x1"x5" makeup bag.

 

Freedom Baggie: Hair products, lotion, foundation, sun screen, perfume, toothpaste.

 

Swimsuit, couple of changes of clothing, my actual purse with my phone, sunglasses, and wallet, a pair of dollar store flip flops, that double as house slippers, my hairbrush and toothbrush, powdered laundry detergent for sink washes.

 

Carry On:Short trip = wheeled carry on. Long trip = no wheels carry on for more packing space.

 

In it:

 

One outfit for each day up to 3-4. If a trip is longer than 5 days, I do a little laundry in the sink. Curling iron, hair pins, razor, costume jewelry, change of shoes, couple of scarves. Sweater if cold weather destination. Extra swimmy and a cover up if beachy. I always carry a cheap towel. That one perfect dress.

 

If my spouse is traveling with me, we trade off two of his outfits in my bag, two of mine in his. If a coat or jacket is likely to be needed at my destination, I wear it or at least carry over my arm boarding the plane.

has anyone used samantha brown luggage ads on hsn ?

 

she is so cute and her bags look so pretty but wonder

how durable they are - if the carry ons are "right" size ?

if the check in ones are strong enough to make it thru

baggage handlers & carousels ? :eek:

Ruelala has a boutique today with really nice zippered totes $30 and under. The LeSportSac ones are really cute and weigh nothing!

I use a backpack. It's easy to use a four-wheeler when your hands are freed up.
