M&G -
I hear you....I'm in the same boat. I put out my clothes, put away half...and still....too many. I'm going to have to repack tonight, as I'm certain I have way too much! Your shampoo comment cracks me up! I am exactly the same! Really?? Short hair and I need a whole bottle? No, no I don't. Yet, it's packed! We do not take beach towels, as the hotel has them. If I really needed one there, I can buy one.

This year we bought "space bags". I think I hate them, but boy do they condense the clothes! The other clothes that didn't go in the bags, I did roll. Everyone says it's better. I don't really see a difference. Sigh....the packing is the worst! I so would like to be a carry on girl. Doesn't look like it will be this year!
