[quote=Anonymous]How long is the trip, OP? For a week or less, don't worry about laundry. Just pack many things in ziplock bags, and then keep some for the truly dirties (like undies and socks). I also have done the "bring your oldest, rattiest underwear and throw them away" thing. Unless you go into a mud pit, you can wear things more than once.

Also, don't pack by type (shirts, socks, underwear) but rather by days. So if you have two bags, put three full days of stuff in one (pants/shirt/socks/underwear) and two full days in the other. This way if a bag goes astray, you have enough clothes to wear. And always have one day of stuff in your carry-on. If there's a flight delay and you are stuck somewhere, you won't have access to your checked luggage.

Also, if you have smaller flights in Europe, their baggage limits are stricter than long-haul, so watch those.  If you're not sure you need it, you don't and leave it home.

Also, always keep some US cash separate from the rest of your valuables. If your purse gets snatched, you have something. I always have either a money belt or one of those pouches you wear around your neck and shove down your shirt. Also, keep copies of your main passport page with photo in multiple places, including with someone back home. Keep one in each suitcase. If you lose your passport, it will make all the difference in getting a replacement. And be very nice to the embassy or consulate person who helps you. That also can save a lot of time and grief.

Have fun![/quote]
