How To Travel Anywhere With Nothing But A Carry-On Bag

How To Travel Anywhere With Nothing But A Carry-On Bag

1. Put things in perspective. The evolution of travel and lightweight materials enables us to move about relatively unencumbered. It wasn’t always so. During the early 19th century, suitcases were mostly made of leather. To transport toilet articles, the wealthy carried elaborate kits, outfitted with small jars and boxes made of crystal, ivory and silver.

Still, to pack light, you must be willing to live with less. If that notion makes you uncomfortable, remember it’s only temporary; consider it a vacation from your possessions. Barring a terrorist incident or a natural disaster while you are away, all your stuff will still be there when you get back.

How to Travel With One Bag Warnings

• Try to avoid putting valuables in any checked bag. Bring valuables onto the plane in your carry-on bag.
• If you are prescribed a number of different medications and are traveling to another country, make sure that you contact customs both at your starting destination and at your ending destination to find out if there are any regulations concerning your medication.Try to get whatever they say you need in writing. Start this process as early as possible; if there are doctor certificates or permits that are required, they may take some time to get. Some countries can be slow to respond and you do not want to have your trip postponed or try to take your medication in that country illegally. Do not pack your medications in your checked bags; pack them in clear zip lock bags with any necessary documentation and carry them yourself. Do not carry medicine in unmarked or wrongly marked containers; make sure they are all in the prescription containers they came in.

Tips

• Pack prescriptions in their pharmacy containers to avoid problems with TSA.
• Consider taking an e-reader, as this will take up much less space than any books you might have taken.
• Pick neutral colors so your outfits are easier to coordinate.
• Even if you're checking one main bag, be sure to take one change of clothing and all your important items (documents, prescriptions, etc.) with you in a carry-on bag, in case your checked luggage is delayed or lost.
• Most youth hostels have laundry rooms and most hotels have laundry services, if you prefer not to wash all your clothing by hand.
• Label your suitcase inside and out; luggage tags can get ripped off in baggage handling machinery. Glue a note to the inside of the case lid (or put one in an inside pocket) with your address /phone details. Do this too, with luggage taken onto the plane with you.
• If you're bringing a purse, try to fit it in your larger bag. That way, you'll have fewer pieces to lug around.
• Take photographs of your travel documents and credit cards, and keep these photos securely online, as well as leaving copies with family. You can retrieve online photos from an Internet cafe or hotel business center, or using room internet access. That way, if anything gets stolen, you will have the information when reporting it.
• When traveling in a group, share common items (shampoo, detergent, books etc.).
• Consider fast wicking (drying) layers of expedition clothing. These clothes are light, designed for frequent washing, have high durability, and are rated by "zones" for specific climates.

6.Mail home or give away items not necessary for traveling, such as finished books or souvenirs

Trading books is a great free way to keep your travel library fresh and can net you some interesting new friends as a result of the exchange.

5.Try to leave electronics at home

Minimize the number of items in your bag that require electricity, especially those that need to be plugged in continually rather than briefly to recharge, as converters can be costly and space-consuming.

4.Manage toiletries

Buy toiletries in miniature sizes, or transfer liquid contents like shampoo into smaller travel bottles. You can buy travel-size toiletries at most big-box stores, or simply save the small ones you get at hotels.

• Put toiletries that could leak (shampoo, gel, etc.) in plastic bags to avoid the hassle of having your clothes covered in liquid soap. If you use bar soap (which can substitute for other forms of soap such as shampoo and shaving cream), get a ventilated holder for it so it doesn't turn to mush through use and storage.
• For quicker trips through airport security, try to use solids rather than liquids. Shampoo is available in solid soap-block form and even single-use sheets. Check at a backpacking or outdoor store for more options.
• Alternatively, purchase toiletries at your destination to avoid security issues. They may even be cheaper, depending on the currency.

3.Pack with a technique that uses as little space as possible

• The bundle method. Wrap clothes around large and/or semi-delicate objects (such as bags of toiletries, pairs of shoes, or electronics), rather than folding or rolling clothes. Stuff underwear and socks into shoes to save space and to prevent crushing shoes. The bundle method saves space and also reduces wrinkling.
• The rolling method. Roll each item of clothing into a tight cylinder. This saves space and minimizes wrinkles. See how to roll clothes for details.

2.Determine which items are really necessary.

Ask yourself what you need to function day-to-day, or which items will dramatically improve your traveling experience. At the relevant destination, could any item be feasibly rented, borrowed or bought (and not kept to bring back)? Gather only the absolute essentials. Here's a short list of items that you might need to bring:

• Three changes of clothing (at most). Perhaps more socks, underwear and shirts than pants. (Consider packing synthetic fabrics, which are lighter, fold up smaller, slide past each other readily rather than distorting piles, and dry faster––especially for pants, where any difference in feel is less noticeable.)
• Toiletries, such as a toothbrush, floss, soap, shampoo, razors, and anything else you need for grooming. See below for more information about packing toiletries.
• Medical items that you currently require, such as medication, bandages or eyeglasses.
• Any charge cords or other accessories you need for your phone, laptop, or other electronic items.
• Shoes, if you'll need a pair besides your traveling shoes.
• Empty water container. A bottle will do. A flexible "hydration pack" can expand to hold more and is more convenient to carry when in use, but if the main bag is a backpack, check that the hydration pack can be comfortably carried when full along with it.
• Empty plastic bags. You can put dirty clothes in them until washing to keep them from contaminating the clean ones. They should be clear so they aren't confused with trash and thrown away. Try produce bags.
• Laundry detergent for washing by hand. Put a few scoops of powdered detergent in a plastic sandwich bag if you're going on an airplane. An inexpensive, lightweight, and long-lasting alternative is to carry a bar of laundry soap.
• A portable clothesline (available at any camping or travel goods store).
• A universal sink stopper (a flat rubber disk, available at any hardware store). A rubber ball can be an alternative, but check that it doesn't tend to float and is large enough so as to not risk falling in.

How to Travel With One Bag

In this age of airline fare wars, spiking fuel costs, combined with the horror stories of lost luggage that never made it to the baggage claim, the option of traveling with just one bag is becoming more and more attractive. Unless your trip is highly specialized, or requires carrying certain items, it is possible to travel and even live indefinitely out of one bag. Here's how.

1.Choose the right bag. Your choice will evolve as you consider what you need to put in it, but consider:

• Size: The largest that airlines will allow as a carry-on is a good starting point. Consider a bigger bag if you need to carry extra items such as winter clothes, gifts, a computer, or a fancy camera. Go for a smaller one if you want to carry the bag long distances.
• Weight: Some airlines weigh carry-on bags before you board, so try to make sure that most of the weight comes from what's inside, and not from the bag itself. Avoid the need for expensive extra-light materials (such as the ridiculously priced titanium luggage) by choosing a simple tough, floppy nylon bag. Avoid heavy and bulky extending handles and wheels and opt instead for a bag with a strap, or, preferably, much more comfortable and unrestrictive, one with backpack-type straps.
• Storage: Multiple pockets help keep things organized. Pockets accessible from the outside provide convenient access to travel paraphernalia such as an inflatable neck pillow or other sleeping aids and snacks, without unpacking or rummaging through everything else.
• Extra space: Your choice of bag may evolve with your choices for its contents. It should have just a little room for extras, not so much that the carefully packed contents shift around in transit.

How to Pack a Diaper Bag for a Plane Trip

Remembering everything that goes into that diaper bag can be mind-boggling especially when traveling by air. Here is a helpful packing list to make sure you have everything you need, and nothing you don't.

Edit Steps

1. 1
   Be sure your diaper bag fits overhead compartment guidelines. Find a medium sized diaper bag that has both a long strap and short straps. This makes it easy to carry across your chest while carrying your child.
   
   
   
   
2. 2
   Dress your child in layers. The plane might be very chilly compared to the summery airport, or vice versa. Light, easy to manage layers help travel.
   
   
   
   
3. 3
   Call your airline to verify what they have on board for changing facilities. Some carry diapers on board or even bottle warmers. (However, keep in mind your plane may be changed last-minute).
   
   
   
   
4. 4
   For every hour of your flight, pack 2 diapers. For instance, if your flight is 4 hours long, pack 8 diapers. Pack package of wipes. These will come in handy for accidents on both them and you.
   
   
   
   
5. 5
   Pack enough formula, breast milk, baby food, or juice for the usual amount of feedings within the time frame. Be sure to bring any bottles, sippy cups, spoons, and the like too.
   
   
   
   
6. 6
   If your child eats finger food, bring some snacks. It both feeds and entertains. Make sure they are easy to manage like round oat cereal, rice cakes.
   
   
   
   
7. 7
   If you are nursing, bring a cover to ensure privacy. Do not use the airplane blankets, as they are seldom if ever washed.
   
   
   
   
8. 8
   Bring two cloths that can be both a changing mat and burp cloth. There are disposable cloths that can be purchased for this purpose.
   
   
   
   
9. 9
   Bring at least two pacifiers, if needed.
   
   
   
   
10. 10
    Pack any frequently-used medication. Bring gas drops, gripe water, Tylenol, or anything else your child might need. Also don't forget rash cream if needed.
    
    
    
    
11. 11
    One or two changes of clothes in a resealable plastic bag. Accidents do happen and if they do, take the clean clothes out and put the dirty ones in.
    
    
    
    
12. 12
    Bring Toys! Bring amusements that fit easily in your diaper bag. A small inflatable beach ball, a hand fan, finger puppets, board books, sparkly fabric, and the like will keep fussing down. It may help if the toy is new.
    
    
    
    
13. 13
    Bring a travel size blanket and pillow if the flight is long.
    
    
    
    
14. 14
    Finished.

How to Pack a Diaper Bag

Being prepared with a full diaper bag while out of the house is always better than guessing or thinking twice about things. You'll never know what situation you'll be in or what you'll need in order to keep a baby happy, so a ready-packed diaper bag will always come to your rescue.

Steps

1. 1
   
   

    Select a suitable diaper bag.
   Select a suitable diaper bag. The type of diaper bag you use will depend on what you expect from it. For short trips, a smaller bag will be fine but for longer trips, including car travel, camping, and visiting the in-laws, a larger bag is a must. When purchasing a diaper bag, check for such features as:
   • Easy-to-access pockets, plenty of them for various items
   • Thermally lined pockets to keep food and drink warm or cool
   • Special compartment for diapers and change mat
   • Comfortable handles or straps for carrying or wearing - try the bag on in the store to see if it feels right for you
   • Ability to fit over the stroller or pram - this will take the weight off you and makes it easy to access.
   • Looks right for you. If you're a man, you might not want to carry around a diaper bag that's flowery or bright pink. Plenty of diaper bags come in gender-neutral patterns, or even look like a backpack or courier bag.
2. 2
   
   

    Keep a food stock.
   Keep a food stock. If you are not breastfeeding, food and drinks should always be packed, as babies always need their nutrients. If you are bottle feeding, use a travel container that divides each powder amount and spare travel-sized bottles of water or juice. If your baby is on solids, choose small travel jars that you can throw out when finished.
3. 3
   
   

    Stock up on diapers.
   Stock up on diapers. Diapers are essential to keep in stock in a diaper bag. It's recommended to have at least one diaper for each hour you're out, but it's nice to grab a handful, in case of emergencies. Also, try to get a travel pack of baby wipes.
4. 4
   
   

    Keep health essentials in the bag.
   Keep health essentials in the bag. Use the side pockets or little compartments for medications, emergency phone numbers, etc. Add Oragel (teething pain gel) or a teething ring, and infant Tylenol (pain relief for infants) - these are both excellent items to leave in the bag. Finally, some tissues are always handy to have in the bag.
5. 5
   
   

    Have extra clothing and blankets.
   Have extra clothing and blankets. A good sized blanket is appropriate for a cool environment, a bibor two is excellent for feeding times, and comfortable socks and a baby hat keep the sensitive parts warm and cozy. You may also want to keep an extra sweatshirt or sweater just for those times when the weather changes drastically. You don't need to over pack these things; if it's just for a walk in the park, you probably don't need to pack clothes.
6. 6
   
   

    Keep your baby entertained.
   Keep your baby entertained. Bring a toy or two and a favorite hard cover book. Keep a few pacifiers in little sandwich bags - this helps if one drops on the ground, as you'll always have extra.
7. 7
   
   

    Bring sanitary wipes and gel.
   Bring sanitary wipes and gel. Anti-bacterial hand gel can be a lifesaver when there isn't a sink nearby. Sanitary or antibacterial wipes can help clean off a restaurant highchair, the handle of the grocery car, and the restroom changing table. A towel can also be handy for mopping up spills.
8. 8
   
   

    Pack extra plastic bags.
   Pack extra plastic bags. Whether a reused grocery bag, or a snaplock bag, you'll need these spare bags constantly for putting dirty bibs and clothes in, or a soiled diaper.
9. 9
   
   

    Give yourself a treat.
   Give yourself a treat. How will you keep yourself occupied while your baby is sleeping? Pack a little snack for yourself, drop your wallet in, and anything else that will make you happy on your trip, such as a favorite novel, or a note pad for jotting down poems. Take along a camera just in case you see something you'd love to photograph, especially your baby doing something cute.

10. Tips

    • Always have a bag ready. If you're out or low on food/drinks, prepare as soon as you come home, so you don't have to worry at the last minute. Wash any dirty/dropped pacifiers as soon as possible.
    • If your child's doctor uses disposable examination pads (they are about the size of a bandanna), grab a few spares -- they make excellent disposable changing pads. They are also available at some retailers for use by incontinent patients. If you can't grab those, there are pads about the same size that are used to paper train puppies. They are plastic on one side, and soft, absorbent cloth, like a liner, on the other. They are ideal for changing tables.
    • Just remember that you're not packing for a trip, just a time out of the house. Don't overdo the stroller, or cram things in the diaper bag.
    • It's good to have a changing pad (either disposable or plastic) for those times when there isn't a restroom around. Some restaurants won't have a baby changing station, (the plastic changing table usually mounted on the wall). Having your own plan is better than guessing whether something is available or not.
    • You may want to have two diaper bags: one for long outings, and a smaller one for shorter trips.
