My dilemma of the day. Do I think I can pack everything for my trips into a 22" suitcase?

Posted by ty97 Aug 3 '09, 09:25

Assuming I put in the effort of packing efficiently, rather than just throwing stuff in like I do know in my humongo 29" bag (that is never ever anywhere near full)

If you really want to save space, don't pack any socks or underwear, just buy them at Wal Mart when you get to wherever you're going. - Loyola Aug 3, 09:33 19
- there is no Walmart in Tokyo, AFAIK. Also, in my experience a lot of the time one is chained the hotel. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:34 18
  - I don't even want to know what underwear in Tokyo might look like. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:34 17
    - Hello Kitty. - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:36 1
      - so sad, but scarily, maybe true -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:39
    - for my trips I carried in *everything* but linens. In the first hotel we were not allowed to leave hotel grounds without police. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:35 14
      - My suitcase does not need to hold much. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:38 13
        
        sounds like you don't need that many shirts/underwear. wash in sink. My issue is that I bring workout clothes. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:39 12
        
        the shorts/t-shirts are for sleeping/working out. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:40 11
        
        (oh, and hell no on washing my undies in the sink) -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:41 6
        
        everyone does. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:41 5
        
        It wouldn't work for me. - ty97 Aug 3, 09:42 4
        
        No way in hell am I scrubbing out my own skidmarks. -- nm - ty97 si Aug 3, 09:44
        
        then your OCD needs the 26" suitcase. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:43 2
        
        I have a 21" case of my parents here. Maybe I'll test pack to see what I can accomplish. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:53
        
        yup -- nm - 'lia Aug 3, 09:52
        
        yeah, I'm talking about work shirts and socks. Use hotel laundry services for shirts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:41 3
        
        I'm on the road for 3 weeks. I bring 6 shirts (5+1 backup) for work, do laundry weekly. -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:42 2
        
        but only two pants? -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:42 1
        
        *nods* -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:50
I do fine with a 25" bag for long trips. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 09:26 2
- [inserts extra 3 inches here] -- nm - JaxSean Aug 3, 09:27 1
  - "extra"? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 09:31
