[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We once packed for 6 weeks in carry ons. This was for a trip to Paris and the Alps in the summer, and what took up the most space was the hiking boots. We carried our fleece and rainjackets with us on the flight. We knew we had laundry facilities available, and just packed minimally. No electronics for the kids either - they watched movies on the plane, and had books at their destinations. Just capsule wardrobes, shared toiletries and important medications (Epipen and Synthroid: you can't get Synthroid in France). We had an Embassy event to go to and had one nice outfit for that, that we rewore for nights out.

My parents are like you. They cannot travel without several suitcases for every short trip. I have no idea what they put in there.[/quote]

Thank you for a help-free, whimsical answer that served no useful purpose, but one which you wanted to get out there. This is completely unhelpful to the OP (and anyone, like me, who similarly overpacks and would be interested in reality-based answers).  But really good to know you hike in the Alps with your severely allergic children, have important embassy functions for which you can wear a dress you can squeeze into your suitcase and which - importantly - pulls double-duty (Yay for you!) for that one night out on the town with hubby during your otherwise rustic, high-altitude “vacances.”  And also very good to know about your doltish parents who overpack with God-knows-what they need and apparently don’t use.  You charmed me with your sincerity.[/quote]

Haha, very funny, PP! 😄[/quote]
