I can get by with a carryon and a backpack, and just stick my small purse inside one of the bags when it's time to go thru security or board the plane so I only have "2" items.Joan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979117433678164657.post-68329867227950669192016-06-05T11:17:49.552-07:002016-06-05T11:17:49.552-07:00I'm a devotee of carry on luggage only as well...I'm a devotee of carry on luggage only as well. Our 3 weeks in Europe last fall was managed with a carry on and 'personal' bag each. I tried the packing cubes but didn't find them helpful. Instead I'm a firm believer in roll packing. Everything is rolled tightly. I'll lay 2-4 tshirts together, smooth them and roll tightly - minimal wrinkles and I get more clothes (or art supplies) in the bag. My husband didn't believe me till I repacked his suitcase and gave him more room. I'm here to say, it works! Have a fabulous trip - I'm looking forward to pics and "seeing" what you see!Terriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989512064950173723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979117433678164657.post-31534348550600498572016-06-01T08:46:03.691-07:002016-06-01T08:46:03.691-07:00Hi Anne, I've learned to pack light from sheer...Hi Anne, I've learned to pack light from sheer desperation at having the larger luggage...About 10 minutes into my trip, I realize it's a mistake...it has driven me to search high and low for smaller equipment! <br />I have seen those Eagle Creek cubes, I'll have to give that a try!

I purchased the same one Marc uses and found it too long to fit in my backpack, and little too heavy. I've been happy with this Sony--let me know how you like it!<br />SStephanie Bowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064313687961012728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3979117433678164657.post-80840873988456041072016-06-01T07:32:19.294-07:002016-06-01T07:32:19.294-07:00 I was waiting to save up enough to buy the tripod... I was waiting to save up enough to buy the tripod Marc Taro Holmes uses but it costs 3.5 times more than yours does.

I thought I was doing well until I read that you can fit everything into a carry on! My bag is the next size up. <br />Also, I couldn't get by without my set of Eagle Creek compressing packing cubes. They are just the best for organising the inside.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762084750741165125noreply@blogger.com
