I hadn't seen my godmother in a few years, and after my initial joy at being reunited with her, I was totally shocked and surprised to see her lugging this humongous, over-sized, HEAVY suitcase.

What on earth could be in there? On the blog, I previously discussed ways to make packing a suitcase more efficient, and many of those tips I learned directly from her. I stood there next to my carry-on suitcase and tried hard not to laugh at her as she asked me where the rest of my luggage was. We were only going away for a week- how many clothes did she NEED? I just didn't get it. I brought three pairs of pants, shirts and sweaters, a few pairs of shoes, plenty of underwear and socks, and a dress for when I needed to be fancy- and still had room for souvenirs at the end of the trip!
Yes, I'd love to be all fancy on trips and have a super fly new outfit for every day of my vacations (I guess), but more than that I dislike having to lug my suitcase around. And being responsible for a big, clumsy block of baggage is not my idea of fun.
So, to help you, my loving readers, avoid the same fate of bringing way too much crap with you on a trip, I wanted to share an article with you from the Huffington Post.
To me, the suggestions seem pretty common sense. But apparently this information must be shared. Enjoy!
