I can totally relate to your issue with the backpack with too many pockets. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this was going to be a problem until I was already on my trip. After a couple of days of repeatedly opening practically every zipper, I sat down and made my self a list of what was where that I then kept in a small front pocket. Then I only had to remember where my list was and to put things back where they went. It worked like a charm! For future trips I will do this at home so that I can put it on an index card which will be more durable than a piece of paper.

I completely agree with your tip to plan, plan, plan WEEKS before your trip. I have the OneNote app on my phone and iPad and I use it to make packing lists for specific trips. I keep a Master list for beach trips, trips to see family(tend to visit during cold winter weather so I need to remember to take gloves, hats,scarves, etc), work trips (things to remember to bring when flying or driving). These lists have everything my husband and I could possibly need, plus tasks to do before the trip (get cash, stop the mail, take out trash, etc). If planning for a trip, I make a copy of the master list and customize for the trip. If I realize that I need to add something, I also add to the master. These lists have been a lifesaver. It’s also helpful to look through several weeks ahead of time and start picking up things I’m out of like contact solution or travel toothpaste, etc. If I’m not able to plan weeks in advance, at least I know I have a list so I don’t get in a rush and forget something because my list is tried and true. Great tips!

Jen, I have found out, like you, what works for me when travelling through trial and error. Hauling bags that are too heavy through the ariport, especially on carpeting, wore me out on my last vacation. But, I still have not been able to master the carry-on-only packing. I am usually gone for 8 or more nights on my trips, so I find that I just need more stuff than I can get into a carry-on bag and personal item. I did, however, just subscribe to Owner's Locker. After I watched your video about your experience with Owner's Locker, I decided to try it. I will let you know how It worked for me after my spring break vacay to WDW. Also, I also unpack when I am in a hotel or on a cruise ship because it makes me feel like I am home. I start packing for my vacation as soon as I decide to go. Sometimes I pack too soon, but then I have time to go back and remove items that I realize I can do without. I keep my toiletry bag ready to go. I always plan on wearing my clothing items more than once. I really enjoy watching your blogs. And I love your sense of humor. "This is My channel, so..."!

I watched the video and am currently packing for a week in Mexico. I had to laugh because my reaction to this video comes from your other videos.

I had to buy clothes in both countries because I couldn't wear ANYTHING I brought 🤦♀️. Now when I go somewhere hotter than where I live, even Stateside, I pack even lighter and buy a few things in my destination because I just know I'll get desperate and want something else.

Great packing tips Jen!👍🏼 I have a packing list created years ago and have been using it for every trip no matter it's 2-nights or 14-nights! It works wonders and hardly ever forget a thing! I even divided them up into different sections/categories, and of course I have a Disney section! 😅 I have to applaud every single one of you who travel w/ carry-ons ONLY!! 👏🏼💯I think I can do carry-on if my trip is no longer than 4 nights and it's Summer time! I need options!!! I'm the opposite, where if I don't have options, it stresses me out! If I can't do laundry doing our stay, I will need to bring at least one outfit per day, and often times I will pack extra shirts in case they get dirty. One day, if I can travel w/ carry-on only, that would be a historic day for me! LOL!!!🤣😂

I don’t do carryon if my husband or older boys are not with me as I am quite petite and it’s really hard getting the suitcase into the overhead compartment if I’m going for more than a few days and the bag is a bit heavy. I am afraid I’ll topple backwards😂. I keep my toiletry bag always packed. I go a bit overboard with makeup choices but I carry that in my backpack so nothing will break. Won’t unpack my stuff in the hotel except for things I can hang. I dont like putting all my clothes in someone else’s drawers. I have all my clothes in packing cubes and organized. I do unpack my shoes though. All great tips. Will be going to Europe and need to make a capsule. Only a few shoes and 1-2 purses though.

Pre-Covid, when going on big trips for 2 or 3 weeks, I would put stuff I wanted to take on my dresser as I thought of them up to 2 weeks in advance. I also created lists. Basics would be clothing, electronics, and toiletries - then sub categories within. We often rented AirBnB, so my list would also include things like a knife sharpener and cutting mat (because why don't many properties have a cutting board!). A scarf can really dress up a regular "day" outfit. And you don't need that many shoes. Even if you only took the pair you wear on the airplane, make sure you can walk all day in them. I have mastered (maybe) how to only take the amount of facial products I'll actually use. Contact lense cases are totally waterproof, for fluids you only need a small amount of. Happy traveling everyone!

Love your videos. I've never understood when people pack large suitcases since even though I've only traveled "carry-on only" a handful of times I have always packed that amount of stuff. Growing up my brother and I always shared a suitcase one size up from carry-on. It made sense when we were little but we never transitioned to carry-ons when we got older lol. Even a 2mos study abroad trip I only took maybe 2 weeks worth of clothes since we could launder and I agree we really dont need as much stuff as some seem to think. Working on transitioning to shampoo bars partially for travel, I just cant with most hotel shampoos.

Thank you, Charlie! I've only used it one other time and I love it, too! And yeah, those bags looks great in videos. They don't "live" very well.

The only thing you really need is underwear, and even then you can buy it if you forget it! 🤣😉
