I do this every time I travel. I was out of town for work and vacation for 2 weeks and wore pretty much the same things over and had a washer/dryer at the Airbnb.

When going somewhere warm, I pack a small 30L back pack. Doesn't matter if I'm gone a week, two months, or longer.

Long Chile was a silly place.

I packed a carry on size bag.

Still too much.

The 30L is a carry on. When sinched down. Half of it is full of books and pringles.

Where are you off to?

My husband and I went to Mexico for 5 days a few years ago and the goal was to only take 1 regular backpack for everything combined. We had the clothes on our backs, 1 swimsuit each, I had a sarong, and when we got there I bought a dress and he a "fancy" shirt for the wedding we went for. Had to wash underwear and our clothes and the sarong once or twice - but we wore swimsuits 85% of the time. Hotel towels, slept naked, bought toiletries and sunscreen and left it there when done. Was amazing! So satisfying as I am a true overpacker. It has helped me be able to pack my family into 1 suitcase on most of our trips since then without really missing anything.

Best kind of trip. Have fun!

Side note: Some time ago, I herniated one of my lumbar discs and it so weakened my core that I couldn't pop up. I rehabbed hard over the past several months and on Sunday afternoon I finally popped up on my 7'6" egg. I had a fun little left all to myself for the 30 or so minutes it existed as the tide came in. That was, for so many reasons, the best surf I've had in a long time... I just sat on my board for a while, smiling and appreciating it all.

My wife is a horrible over packer. To the point that it makes vacations a lot less fun. Even a trip just out of town to a cabin for a weekend and she meticulously plans every meal, packs all the necessary food, a large suitcase for clothes, etc.

My last trip to Cuba I packed in a rush and somehow forgot to bring underwear. The only pair I had was what I wore for the flight down, and of course, they were my oldest pair, full of holes, barely hanging on by a few threads


Somehow managed a week in the Caribbean like that. Didn't know whether to immortalize the underwear and frame them afterwards or burn them.

I went to Colombia for 10 days and forgot to pack pants. If you want to confuse and slightly frighten a retail worker, walk into a clothing store in Bogota after traveling for 13 hours and in terrible broken Spanish say "please help me I don't have any pants."
