Carry-on only?

[stargazertechie]

I've done several trips with carry-on only, including a cruise with formalwear!

I use the bundle packing method, if you google it there's a great video. Basically you build a "box" inside your suitcase and then you pack things using the length and width of the suitcase- long things go longways, short things go shortways, and you fold them in on top of each other.

Also, wear your tennis shoes, pack your sandals, and wear any bulky clothes instead of packing it.

The hotels have shampoo and the like, so all you need to pack is toothpaste/deoderant/makeup.
