I have just come home from my trip to Canada. On my trip I took my very lightweight travel towel. I packed few clothes but added a tube of travel wash and my elastic travel washing line. It doesn't need any pegs. I took my daughter's travel cot which is like a lightweight pop up tent. I didn't take any sheets or blankets with it. I took a guide book for Vancouver and Vancouver Island rather than a guide book for the whole of Canada. On long trips I used to photocopy budget accommodation listings. As I traveled around I got rid of the pages I had used. I will try to travel more lightly on my next trip.

First of all I put my documents and credit cards with my meds and pills. That includes tickets if I have them. Then come the clothes items which varies depending on where I go and if it´s near or far from home. I go many times on trips where I start the trip in Winter and at the other end is Summer. I have to take care of that. I have a small case with hair brush and toothbrush.I put enough underwear, a nice dress that doesn´t wrinkle and can be placed anywhere, 2 pairs of shoes for different occations (not more). I wear my jeans during the trip.I need glasses, scissors, nail file and twizzers. Besides that, there my camera and that´s all.

For me it, looks something like this: Toothbrush (and toothpaste, of course) Wallet Passport Clothes (Including a bathing suit if you go to a warm country) A book, so you have something to read on the flight and on your destination
