On sunday I'm flying away for 2 weeks with just hand luggage. The reason? It was going to cost 50% more than the flight cost to add a hold bag for the 3 separate flights involved (Easyjet)
I have been practising packing for the last week and have, I think, got it taped. I had planned on a jacket with pockets, as above, but think I can manage without. You never need as much as you think : apart from what I will be wearing, I have 2 bras, 3 pants, 2 pr shorts, 3 trousers, 4 t shirts, one dress, 1 dressy top, 1 jumper, flip flops, 1 pr shoes, wash stuff, pills and potions in plastic bag, camera, iPad, plugs, small handbag, purse, specs x2, pashmina and I still have a tiny space left for whatever it is I may have forgotten {phew} I roll most of it, stuff things in shoes and in the corners of the bag. The only downside is that I won't be able to bring anything home with me, which perhaps, is no bad thing.....
