[quote=Anonymous]Just got back from a 10 day trip to Asia with carry on only and last fall did the same for an 8 day trip to Europe. Have found you always need less than you think you do. Use packing cubes and stuff any extra shoes with socks, etc. Do only one color scheme and limit shoes. For women, small shoes like ballet flats are great for adding variety without bulking up your suitcase. For Asia, I did one pair sandals, one pair slip on flats, one pair water shoes/sandals, and one pair sneakers (worn on plane since biggest). Use a good sized personal item for extra space (i carry a Baggalini bag that can expand to hold a lot and DH uses a backpack). You can always decide to check a carry on if it is being too difficult for you to handle or if the bins fill up, but once you bring a bag that has to be checked you are committed to checking. Also, big bags cause issues moving around foreign cities, on trains, etc. [/quote]
