Like many so-called 'empty-nesters', my husband and I are now with more money and time, and fewer responsibilities then ever. We are finally free to travel as and when we want. But what to pack?
All seasoned travellers have experienced the dreaded empty luggage carousel and your suitcase nowhere in sight. The last thing you want to do on your holiday is go shopping for underwear and socks. Some of my friends have decided on travelling with carry-on only, while others pack spare clothes for a day or two in their carry on.
Either way, you want to travel light so that you don't end up with a heavy luggage packed with clothes you don't really need on your trip.
If shopping is on your list for the planned trip, it's even more important that you have a light suitcase - paying for extra weight is quite costly!
So what to pack?
The fabric of the clothes you decide to pack will make a huge difference to the size and weight of your bag.
