Life in a Suitcase

Aaron and I have become extremely efficient packers since moving abroad. You would probably not want to pack a lot either if you were packing and unpacking as often as we are : )

What do we want to bring? What do we absolutely need? What about the "nice to haves"?

I usually divide myself into two piles - can't go without it and if it fits, then I'll take it. We hardly ever check a bag. Usually we take two small carry-ons for a trip longer than 4 days, and for weekend trips we take this guy:

Yep, I see the amazement in your eyes. Both of our stuff fits in that little bag. I'm quite proud of our efficiency and we always say that really all we need when we travel is our passports and our swimsuits (...if we are going somewhere warm).

Don't need our swimsuits this time as we are headed to Amsterdam for the weekend... Goede reis!
