replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @edfringe Hello! We are here from a beautiful crepe shop in Ontario, Canada #PTTravel
Joining #PTTravel chat from Maryland to talk about @kate_frankie packing it in. Or did I miss something in the across-the-pond translation?
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @edfringe Looking forward to #PTTravel - at home in North Yorkshire after a weekend of entertaining friends and watching junior put in a player of the match performance with the bat and ball yesterday

#pttravel Also, I'm typing, not tying. My dyspraxia makes tying particularly amusing to the person I'm trying to tie.
:p

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot #pttravel Rarely is this time of year! Waiting till the school holidays end before I even think about going anywhere.
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @edfringe You’re at Fringe, how cool! #PTTravel
Joining #PTTravel from Scotland this evening. Planning our #borneo trip next year. So much to see and do! Hi everyone https://t.co/nrCjCvOml5
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Exactly how I feel at the beginning of chats when asked where I'm joining from. #NowhereInteresting. 😦 #Pttravel
replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot I had rather a lot of beer (and gin) yesterday so I thought I would have a break...and a glass of wine instead 😉 #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @edfringe I was in Lister Park in Bradford this afternoon #PTTravel
Hello #pttravel! Joining tonight from the 1510 to Penzance. The train is just passing through Newton Abbot right now.
replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @kate_frankie @edfringe Jealous. Are the crepes delicious?! #PTTravel
replying to @aandj8804 @aandj8804 @RTWBarefoot #pttravel Likewise: I usually only chat when I'm at home, & onlt have a tablet with me when I'm out & about.
A1 Being a guy, I pack just what I need for a trip. Of course, there won't be delays, cancellations or lost luggage. #PTTravel
#PTTravel
A1 I try to pack just enough for my own trips. For work, I pack more & have materials/banner for events.
I feel like I have leisure packing down to an art now. I can get a lot in a small bag!
replying to @kate_frankie
@kate_frankie A1 #PTTravel
For most trips packing is a minimalist no brainer.
I usually grab the same things every time. 5 sox, 5 underwear, 3 tees, 3 collared shirts, 2 pants, dungaree shorts, and swimming trunks. Overnight toiletries bag.
Add boots + hiking sox if hikes planned.
Done
A1 Most of our trips are 2/3/4 nights and so it's pretty easy just to throw the correct number of items in - plus maybe a spare pair of pants! #pttravel
#pttravel A1: it's a hard question for me to answer as I travel only ever with hand luggage so I pack what fits, basically. It's both everything and just enough, if that makes sense.
A1 #PTTravel Just enough ... especially if I have to carry my stuff any distance. When I get home, I review what I didn't use, and consider whether or not I need it next time.
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1: Complete packing art elitist hoi-polloi! I pack versatile items that can go from casual walking/driving/plane rides. to dressed up dinners. I have taught my husband to go from a two-week process of overpacking to a 1-day minimalist :-) #PTTravel
MT @ladyfromatramp:
Is it too macabre to do a cemetery tour when visiting a city? We think not so we headed to Pére Lachaise in Paris to pay respects to the greats. https://t.co/W0Sygb8gN1 #paris #pttravel #travel
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1 ...we’ve got packing everything down to a fine art! Does that count? #PTTravel
A1 #PTTravel usually pack way more than I need but getting in the habit of leaving a few items behind on longer trips
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A1)Depends on where I'm going....usually #diving is involved....that requires a load of extra packing of the diving gear. #PTTravel
replying to @DonNadeau @DonNadeau @ladyfromatramp #pttravel Not at all ... you can't visit Buenos Aires without a trip to the Recoleta.
replying to @amberparkcouple
@amberparkcouple @kate_frankie I cant see it. I'm sure it's in there though.
The Kitchen sink - where did you hide it. (Too Much !!!) ) #PTTravel
A1 We tend to over pack, but only realise about half way through our trip when we haven't worn more than half the clothes we've packed. We always manage to pack within whatever weight limit we've got though so don't overpack in that sense. #PTTravel
replying to @JR_justJR @JR_justJR @kate_frankie Change of shirts and underwear and swimming trunks only. You can buy more when you arrive if you really need them. #PTTravel
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Packing is always an adventure. Pull everything out of the closet, then put back most of it. Then, put back more. Will everything fit? No? Put back more. Question my choices. Pull things back out of the closet. Put things back in the closet. Think, think, think… #pttravel
replying to @aandj8804
@aandj8804 We had port on the last day of The Hike, to celebrate our finish, but it's not something I have terribly often. Nice, though.

replying to @aandj8804 @aandj8804 @kate_frankie @edfringe Omg yes! This one is called the #NiagaraFalls and has local berries and peaches 😋 #PTTravel
