Any tips on packing luggage for a quick trip?

I am leaving on a quick 2 day trip, but my suitcase looks bloated. I am horrible at packing things. Please help.

I went commando to mass once when in college, cause my underwear was not done drying, when I knelt down to pray, the ladies behind me all snickered, and I realized my ass was hanging out and I tried so hard not to laugh during the homily.

Roll your clothes. Lie them flat and roll them into little rolls. It keeps them from wrinking and creasing and takes up way less space!

I've become a master at packing efficiently over the years. You should have seen me when I was packing the car for one of my Canadian road trips, I was pretty much playing Tetris in the trunk. cool

Generally packing is just a matter of filling up any empty space that might occur, as long as any fragile things are kept steady and not under any pressure.

Ok my one and truly tip that is diamond.. nod





get so trollyed off your tits the night before, you dont care a damn what you pack..

sleep in until the taxi buzzes you awake

roll outta bed, throw in the nearest cloting to you, or just empty drawers

put some dark shades on

jump in the cab

head to airport

worry later.. cool

(its always a good excuse to go shopping)

Take every plaid item out of the suitcase and burn each item.


Also, roll your clothes.
