Read a travel blog that said the starting point was not so much the packing as the unpacking on return. 2016 when I unpacked, I had a huge stack of stuff that was never used. Made my packing list for this year from what I did use, and eliminated a lot! Pared down this year's and STILL came back with a whack of stuff that was never used. We have laundry done at least once at trip, so what's my problem bringing a zillion tops? Cosmetics are a killer!!! Paring that down. (when the longest hair on your head is 1 inch, why do you need a full bottle of shampoo? Like seriously! I do it every time. 1/4-1/2 travel bottle next trip. Gotta go more often so I can get this down to an art! You are my hero and inspiration, ohliz! I want to get to carry-on only. What do you do about beach towels? They take up space.

Anybody got any experience with rolling clothes? I fold, and I hear rolling is better???
