Packing light makes being in transit infinitely easier. The more I travel, the less I realize I need. Packing light makes being in transit infinitely easier.

We would have liked to have taken carry on luggage for ourselves as well, but with the airline regulations of no liquids over 100ml in hand baggage, we had to check those in. I guess that was made easier as all you need in Bali are shorts, T-shirts and swimmers. We have a trip planned to Rhode Island (from Australia) in July, and are aiming for 7kg for each person as well. We may try to only take hand luggage as we can buy toiletries when we get there. The added benefit is that your luggage can't get lost by the airlines and you don't have to wait with everyone else around the carousel!

Are you serious?! I have 4 children (ages 2-6). My husband, myself & all four children can pack into 1 medium sized suitcase. I can't imagine lugging 6 suitcases around. Good for you for giving that up!! Old post, I know, but I just found you so I’m reading everything.

My rule is, if it doesn't fit in the carry on, its not coming. As long as i have a sink to wash dirty clothes i am just fine. I must admit, this rule is stretched when i visit family...you can't say no to 6 bottles of wine :) When i got my job as a flight attendant i discovered the joys of light packing.
