You can find other people’s techniques for this via Google.\u00a0 I recently took a combined business and vacation trip that lasted two weeks, and I took only a “rollaboard” carry on bag. The business trip included a need for dress and business casual clothes.<\/p>\n
This trip had an advantage over some hectic vacation trips in that I stayed in the same hotel for most of the two weeks I was gone. This let me find a laundry down the street, and have laundry done at the midpoint of the trip instead of hand washing in the hotel bathroom sink. Or paying exorbitant hotel laundry rates.<\/p>\n
The weather was also an advantage toward light packing, late summer on the Mediterranean is very temperate, and warm (and bulky) clothes weren’t necessary.<\/p>\n
My packing list:<\/p>\n
I carry this in the top outside pocket of the rollaboard, where it is easy to pull out and put back for security inspection.<\/p>\n

I overpacked a little bit, but not too badly.\u00a0 And it all really did fit in the rollaboard and briefcase, even with souvenirs on the way home.\u00a0 (Buying small things helps.)<\/p>\n
This was the first time I’ve gone this long in a single small bag.\u00a0 Now that I’ve done it this will always be my goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
