  • My husband and I recently went on 16 day European and Mediterranean cruise and we only brought carry on luggage with us. I packed 9 tops, 1 blazer, 5 slacks, underwear and a multitude of other essential travel items. I will share with you what to consider, what we packed, how we packed, and what worked and what didn’t work for us. Below are links to all specialty items and a complete listing of all items packed. I hope I can convince you to become a Minimalist Packer too!

    What a super, no nonsense video! I love your honest, down-to-earth approach to packing. I hope you had a great time celebrating your anniversary - Congratulations!!🥳🥳🎉

    I went to Europe in 1973 for almost a month. Saw Switzerland, Germany, Amsterdam, and France. I packed one suitcase. You need to wear things twice, or more. I rolled my clothes and they fit better that way, but can be wrinkled, but no biggy with today's fabrics.
    Enjoy your congratulations 💞 vacation!

    I only travel with carry on luggage! SO convenient! Really like the sink drain cover idea!

    This was great. Your packing skills are impressive. I'm going on an 11 day trip with my 17 year old in August to Europe (London, Paris & Rome) and I'm planning on taking Carry on suitcase only and one personal item bag. So far, I have packed things a couple of times to check the most efficient layout and I've found that I am able to fit 6 dresses one skirt, 4 pairs of pants (3 lightweight; 1 jeans) and 7 tops. 3 pairs of shoes (wearing my sneakers on travel day), two crossover purses in my personal item, thermal water bottle, makeup and liquids in personal item for easy access as well as passports, small coffeemaker 😂(I know that might sound crazy to some people, but I must have decent coffee:), paper itinerary and hotel info, Euros and British Pounds, phone charger, converter, curling iron, brush and comb, earbuds for movie on plane and phone, possibly noise canceling over the ear headphones (haven't decided yet on those), snacks, tea bags, honey and crystalized lemon packets. We like our tea. My daughter will have her own Carry on suitcase and personal item bag. I have the same medicine pill case that you have. It's a great one. First aid supplies in a ziploc (Bandaids, OTC meds, Pepto Bismol, Zyrtec, Tylenol, Blister bandages) I can't wait to go traveling again (post pandemic).

    Thank you so much for showing all this - I just booked a 14 night Mediterranean/ transatlantic cruise and I’m a bit nervous about what to pack and how to pack for such a long time.

    We went to Norway for 2 weeks, I feel like if I have enough unders, I can survive with less outer clothes.

    While my trips weren't as long as yours, I almost always pack everything in my carryon (unless I was taking something that required checkin). Must less hassle for sure (no lost luggage, waiting at the baggage carousel, etc).

    I never check luggage, it is always carry on and I too do not carry a purse.
