I am a habitual over packer. I like options and stand by my mother's advice to "always pack in case you are invited to an impromptu wedding." For serious, during a trip down the CA coast mom and I once packed a separate suitcase just for shoes and then couldn't fit all our luggage in the back of a rented mustang. Yes, we are that type of women.

But I am throwing years of cautioned packing to the wind and embarking on my greatest traveling challenge yet, fitting a 2 week trip in...a...carry on (what?!). Since we are going to be traveling to three different countries and staying in AirBnb's with washing machines for just 2 weeks I figured let's try this thing out.

So I did what any millennium would do, researched on the internet. I looked at pins, youtube videos, forums, diagrams; the list goes on. To date I found these helpful:

I'll keep doing some research and let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!
