Packing

It's amazing this phenomenon called packing.
First you go through all your wardrobe and pick out everything you might need, from every single drawer. If you're able to close your bag remember you need space for shopping! And then shoes. They go along the sides. With socks inside.
The bag of all the toileteries whatever you call them, and they're big. Not big as flat big, but they are big in every direction, so you need to have deep space in a corner, not only flat on top. And this new thing. Cables. Cables. Everytime i travel I carry around cables. Charger for my phone. Charger to mr macbook. and the extensioncable for it. and the ipod cable. and the camera cable. and the camera charger. and the electrical toothbrush charger. OMG when will they invent the universal charger?! a cable with a plug that fits into most devices. how hard can it be to have a universal hole in all electronics?
Whatever you have packed you need to go it through twice and pick out things you're not going to wear more than twice.
Never underestimate handluggage. It can be big as an incabin-rolling-suitcase and they never weight it. Thats where you put all your 4kg books (marketing of course, never harry potter!) and jewellry with heavy diamonds.

The best way of packing would be to go pick out everyhting you need, and that goes together, instead of everyhting that might fit & u might need. But im young and blonde for some more years...

The worst thing with packing is if your bag fits more than its supposed weight.
I can stuff about 30-40 kg in my suitcase. Not good.
Good is that my dad is visiting me in two days. His suitcase (he doesnt know it's his yet) is almost full. But since he is only going to be in stockholm for three days he will never need to wear anyhting more than twice. So he has space.
