I think to roll them you have to roll them TIGHT and really pack stuff in, and I just don't think that's necessary when I take a larger suitcase, so I don't bother.Originally Posted by M&G Montreal
In fact, for my trips to Jamaica, I set out each outfit I'm going to wear (top, shorts, underwear, or whatever the combo) and put each set in a gallon size Ziploc. Smaller items like swim or single items like a dress get their own quart size baggie.That way, each item has a partner and I don't over-pack a bunch of stuff that I might wear. I reuse the Ziplocs each trip (I do worry about all that plastic, but I'm making the most out of each baggie so I feel mostly ok about it). It's almost like mini space bags, like Jenn mentioned, but being smaller, I can manipulate how I pack them for more flexibility. I also found a really large Ziploc bag that has a zipper. It fits perfectly into my suitcase, so... in go my beach items, my towel, my toiletries, and my little baggies of outfits. Zip it up, clip the cross-straps, zip the suitcase, lock it and done!
I'm trying to be really good this year! I like to have a few options, but at this point, I pretty much know what I'm going to use and what will just take up space.
