Almost packing the flight attendant way
It’s 11pm and the washing machine has just finished its fourth load of the day prior to our big adventure tomorrow. Each load had a solitary single item in it, as I managed to find all the clothes which I should already have washed at different times.
Inspired by an excellent video on YouTube which demonstrated how to pack enough clothes for me for about 2 months into a small carry-on suitcase, I decided to try packing the flight attendant way. I laid everything out on the bed, discarded a third of the stuff then rolled up everything else and popped it in the case. As you can see there’s still plenty of room to pack the third I discarded plus all my freshly laundered washing!
UPDATE: As Stephanie intimated somewhere else, I can’t be bothered to unpack and repack and tend to live out of my suitcase the whole time we’re away. The only problem with this method of packing is that although I got an outrageous amount of stuff in my suitcase, when I came to wear anything it looked like I’d thrown it in a heap on the floor and then it had been sat on by an elephant. I’m not that fussed. The creases will hang out as I wear it, but it’s a bit of a waste of ironing and not everyone wants to be seen with me looking like this.
Flight Aware tells me you landed safely at 8pm. Have a great holiday and take care!
Love, Gillian
Thanks Mum, Yes, we made it a couple of hours later than planned due to delays at Heathrow. We arrived at the hotel about 10pm and were eating our dinner at 5.30am UK time. I nearly fell asleep in my chips!
