Who are you and what is your purpose on boards????

And tell your girlfriend to stop packing all those pictures of me.

Do you have the white socks to go under your sandals?

Your dignity.

Go find it.

AckwelFoley

i went to oz for 2 months with only carry on luggage, while i was there i went to fiji for a week with only a teeny backpack, containing a couple of bikinis, toiletries, a couple of t-shirts and another skirt. check-in crew in fiji couldn't believe its all i brought with me, they were so used to massive suitcases being checked in.
Last year I averaged a flight every 6 weeks, I know what to take and what not to take, I've long given up on the 'I might wear this'. sure if the worst comes to the worst, can't you buy it when you get there.:D

Black Swan

A cape? (for all the bull you might encounter in Spain)

Overheal

Take the batteries out of your vibrator before passing through security.

Just half the amount of clothes you're bringing to free up some more space. Wear it the right way out one day, and inside out the next. Instant clenliness. Sorted.

Ear Plugs.

You're off to Spain eh? From experience you'd probably be better off bringing a few weapons... batons, maschetis, guns etc!

Enjoy though!

Overheal

Save room to bring me back some Absinthe will ya?

Have of me is horrified, the other half is impressed!

I'm headin to thailand and malaysia for a month in a few weeks. I'm bringing 5 bikinis, 3 dresses, 7 pairs of shorts, 5 skirts, a pair of runners (ones which i'll be leaving behind, they're only for jungle walking!), and about 10 tops.
I'll also be bringing 2 (small) handbags and a beach bag, 5 pairs of flip flops, 2 beach towels and all relevant toiletries.

What?!?! You are mad! Leave behind about 5 pairs out of 7 shorts - leave 3 of the skirts, 5 pairs of flipflops!!!! Fcuk.

You can't be serious?!?!

Aside, with all those clothes, how are you going to have room for all that cheap shopping? Seriously, you're best off bringing an empty bag.

I'm also very impressed. I'm getting better and better at travelling light but maybe you could give me some lessons? I have to go to NZ for at least a year soon and only have 20kg. I'll try your motto of "I can buy it out there!"

holy mother of god, are you mad woman!!! having been to both countries (again with carry on only) you only need 1/4 of that! 5 pairs of flip flops, who are you imelda marcos!!! please remember that malaysia is a muslim country so some degree of modesty needs to be preserved.
I tend to bring clothes that can be mixed and, matched, i have no shame in wearing the same thing for 2 days in a row, sometimes more, when you are travelling and don't have access to laundry facilities.
Also 2 handbags, can you not get a multifunctional one that will go with most of what you have? Its not Milan out there. Leave room for snapping up the bargains, i had a really nice pair of trousers made for $8, went mad on shoe shopping and had to have them all shipped home. sarongs can be made into 5 different outfits.

I like fashion and my clothes as much as the next person, but when travelling and lugging around bags and backpacks, its not worth it in the end.

Oh my god. Just back from a round-the-world. Trust me you are going to get so pissed off carrying all that ****e around. 5 pairs of flip flops? Haha. That's just hilarious.

As long as I have me wellies, batman costume and comical sunglases I'm ready to rock anywhere in the world.

It's actually a very small pile. I plan to throw some of it out to leave room for all the new stuff!
I thought I was doing well by not bringing heels and my ghd!!!

You think I'm bad? My best mate travelled around oz for a year withe a giant suitcase for clothes, a mini one for hairdryer, cosmetics, ghd, etc and she even brought a hat (weddingy type one) for going to the races...... she wore everything and doesn't regret lugging it all around.
Seriously.... I thought I was doing v. well!

i do too!! i'm a lunatic for bringing stuff. im just back from a week away and i brought more than what you're bringing!!

DubLegs

What would you bring for a surprise weekend?
When i say surprise i mean you haven't a clue where your going - if it's in the country, if it's hot, if your going to a posh hotel or restaurant? So if i forget something, you won't know if you can get it there!

My bf has a surprise weekend planned from friday til mon and after 2 months of trying every which way and scheme to get it out of him he won't budge! Can't get anything out of him!


*Sorry if slighty off topic!

Are you stone mad or something???

I was in Alaska and the Northern Yukon and the Baffin island area for TWO MONTHs a few years ago and I only brought 5kgs of clothes.

have you no credit card or what??

You seem to have way too much.

No won't miss you,you are a boring nerdy type tbh.

Pack as many John Player ciggerettes as you are allowed to, they are impossible to come by in spain (at least they used to be) and dedicated Johnny Blue smokers will sell there own mothers for a pack when they've been stuck smoking malboro or another lesser quality cancer stick for more than a couple of days. Might buy you a few nights worth of drinks in trade.
