[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is interesting. I am not a carry on for two weeks person—but I am someone who thinks a lot about travel outfits and wears pretty much everything I bring. I guess a difference is that sensibly or not I tend to approach big trips as a moment to buy new clothes for the occasion and then I bring and wear them all. It seems sort of depressing to me to wear the same outfit over and over and sink laundry is not appealing. What is the downside that you all see of bringing a larger bag? Just the concern re lost luggage?[/quote]

Two reasons:

1. I hate being loaded with bags. I want to travel light, and not have to worry about keeping track of my stuff.

2. I don't have a lot of stuff to begin with at home. But I do like pretty things - it's just that I choose them carefully and plan to wear them for years. I don't follow trends, I buy to suit my figure. So I fill my carry-on with my pretty things, and don't have to "force" myself to re-wear, since that's what I usually do at home anyway. On vacation, I re-wear more often, which is fine, because I like my clothes. Sink laundry is rare - usually there are laundry facilities available.

If you're a more consumerist type who buys a lot and cycles through trends, then obviously you'll see things differently, and that's perfectly fine.
