#WeekendWanderlust A4: We are both a little OCD, so everything needs to have a place. Organizers & packing cubes rule our suitcases. That’s one reason we go through so many bags! 😉 #travel

replying to @leisurelambie @leisurelambie @ABritSoutherner eBags has some great deals, for sure! We don't need more, but we keep an eye on their site all the time. We may need a 12 step program. ;) #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte We have found some awesome packing cubes by @eaglecreekgear and love them! Never thought they would be as handy as they are! Compression cubes are awesome too! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte Throw it in a bag and hope I can untangle it later. Just me? 🤦♀️ #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @eaglecreekgear Same here - they seemed unecessary...but now we use them all the time. Especially compression bags on long trips, or when we need to pack sweats/sweaters. Great space savers. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A4 Chargers and cables all go into an organizer. #WeekendWanderlust

#WeekendWanderlust A5: It may be cliché, but our smartphones go everywhere with us. Not so much for the Instagrams and Tweets, but for all the functions: address book, camera, notebook, GPS – they’ve replaced so many things they’re indispensable! #travel

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte @ABritSoutherner My son traveled to Oakland with a backpack and 1 packing cube. They work! #WeekendWanderlust
ABritSoutherner
replying to @leisurelambie @leisurelambie A great way to stay organized! Actually just purchase an organizing pouch from an Amazon bookstore last week and will be using that to keep those tangled cables more organized! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner @leisurelambie We're always repurposing small bags that we have/find/buy to hold cables, chargers, batteries, etc. Still haven't found the perfect solution, but that's half the fun! #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @R666mur @R666mur Good idea! We made the mistake of both getting the same color. #PackingFail. ;) #WeekendWanderlust

RybaMichele
replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner A6. Apps, gadgets & phone but I'll check out a guidebook before going just don't like the weight #WeekendWanderlust
TravelLatte
#WeekendWanderlust A6: Confession: We love the old school feel of maps and guidebooks. But we’re totally new school travelers with our smartphones. #travel

replying to @ABritSoutherner @ABritSoutherner I upgraded my hanging travel organizer and use the old one for the cables and chargers. The pockets and compartments are already built in. #WeekendWanderlust

replying to @TravelLatte @TravelLatte A5: Does my passport and credit card count as tech? Can not think of anything else as "indispensable" #weekendwanderlust
LitchfieldFund
replying to @WWTravelChat @WWTravelChat A5: Of course cell phone! but does a spare pair of disposable contact lens qualify as technology? #weekendwanderlust

replying to @Morology @Morology That's actually a healthy way of seeing things! ;) #WeekendWanderlust
