What to Pack

replying to @Shootfromttrip @Shootfromttrip @kate_frankie Yeah it's pretty annoying when ppl carry large suitcases that should have been checked in and inconvenience other folks. Our flight was delayed last trip coz people had just too much carry on and there was no space. #PTTravel

replying to @amberparkcouple @amberparkcouple Do you always have to check in luggage at the airport? #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4) Probably just for a long weekend and so only had one pair of shoes as well as trainers and so it would have been good to have another pair of shoes for evening events #PTTravel

@aandj8804 @terryanzur @kate_frankie it was awesome! Going across Great Britain from the Easternmost to Westernmost points. 952 miles. #pttravel
the scenery was awesome :)

RT @bigfatheadz: A4 Just a long weekend. I think it is easier to have everything you need when you are travelling somewhere warm #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel That's something we're talking about at home at the moment. We have a longish trip coming up & we're wondering is there affordable laundry, or do we have to take every stitch we own?

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4) I don’t cope well with a small carry on but it’s for a city-break then I can manage BUT for longer trips I never feel like I take enough?! I always need options #PTTravel
bigfatheadz
Our travel rule is that one person could carry everything and be able to ambulate #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Agree in principle, not in duration. It's easy enough to pack 6-7 days in a carryon. (If you are not hiking) #PTTravel

replying to @Pinkzenjoy
@Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie Someone who agrees with me! Cabin crew tried to move my small cabin bag of expensive camera gear down the plane once, so someone could put a suitcase above me that I would use for a two week trip.
I don't think so! #PTTravel

replying to @NomadKeith
@NomadKeith I don't think I *own* two weeks' clothing. #pttravel
Usually I end up washing clothes where I'm staying. Even hostels usually have laundry facilities; hotels will definitely do.
Otherwise, launderette.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie I need a carry-on PLUS my camera bag. I wish I could do just carry-on only. #pttravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie And you can rebook, change flights, go on earlier flight standby with carryon. Cant do that with checked luggage #PTTravel

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @kate_frankie @aandj8804 @SeabournCruise .....better get yourself one. It saved our trip and allowed us to enjoy some amazing food and drink on our @SeabournCruise #pttravel

replying to @JR_justJR
@JR_justJR on my hikes I pack less #pttravel cos when you're in the middle of nowhere, no-one cares what you smell like.
For my hike across Great Britain, 57 days, three t-shirts. Four pairs of underpants. And that was excessive.

replying to @Shootfromttrip @Shootfromttrip @kate_frankie And some of them can't manage that bulky luggage getting on and off flights. I've almost tripped over them when they suddenly stop. I feel it's a hazard. 😂 #PTTravel

replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR @kate_frankie Exactly. It just makes things so much easier. #PTTravel

A3 Been trying to find a picture of my favourite travel bag but don't have one to hand. My go to carry on though is my Johansen Gracie @jototes. I can get pretty much everything I need in this, the one I have at the moment I've had for 3 years now and it's still good. #PTTravel
JR_justJR
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Agree - hiking rules are different. But for regular tourism, visits, plan on 6-7 days of clothes. #PTTravel
NomadKeith
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel No problem to wash out some knicks & socks in the sink ... but, some places, it's cheaper to buy a new shirt than use the laundry!

replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR @DawnCorleone @kate_frankie It’s pretty hard with the increasingly shrinking carryon sizes to pack much for long. We’ve managed it for our latest family trip but not all carryon is equal! #pttravel

replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR They sound like a good idea. I usually have a few spare bags as well to wrap up any toiletries in just in case of spillage! #PTTravel
bigfatheadz
Though we do often take a spare case to bring back goodies; i end up booking single tickets with some airlines as you often have to book luggage both ways #PTTravel
kate_frankie
replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @Shootfromttrip I have visions of someone dropping a heavy piece of luggage on my head out of the locker. I'm always on edge when some is struggling to lift a bag! #PTTravel

A4- I rarely go anywhere with just a carry on. It cost to check bags, but I'd rather have everything I need and not have to worry about finding a store when I get there #PTTravel #travelingsession
RTWBarefoot
#pttravel A5: I have a bar of soap. Saves on liquid restrictions.
Otherwise, travel size, buy when i'm there if i run out. Also, nick anything that's been left in hostel bathrooms. Or make use of the stuff in hotel rooms.

replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie A5 #PTTravel Hotels are great for travel supplies. Mini sized shampoo, skin lotion, bars of soap, extra toothbrushes.
And my deodorant and medical supplies are all minis. I even use old shampoo (mini) bottles to put hydrogen peroxide in. First aid.
Shootfromttrip
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. I don't carry many toiletries, but if I am travelling *really* light, I will take some travel size items. My wash bag takes up about a third of my rucksack otherwise! #PTTravel

A5 For starters, you have to buy travel-size toiletries unless you like to make donations at security checkpoints. Other items depend on where you're going, such as places where toilet paper is considered a luxury. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @edfringe Sorry to miss #PTTravel this week. I am in a storm.

A4 Up to now we've only done long weekend trips as hand luggage only however we have booked a 3week+ trip for the new year as hand luggage only so we'll keep you posted on how that turns out for us! #PTTravel

replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR I've been perfectly fine with four, tbh. But then I don't tend to wear bulky items. #pttravel

A4 #PTTravel Shaving cream and toothpaste ... hotels usually provide soap/shampoo/shower gel. Needs to be travel size if I'm flying and hand luggage only. (considering growing a beard, but wifely approval not forthcoming)
