Members MsGuy Posted December 28, 2013 Members Share Posted December 28, 2013 "Any place I can't take my Cool Mist Swiss humidifier, 6 outlet flexible surge protector power strip and Sonicare rechargeable electric flosser isn't worth visiting." "Travel light is all well and good but I find one must have at hand the necessities of civilized life." Oz and helpful friends making their way to Bangkok International Airport. "You keep rolling your eyes, Nattapong, and our dear farang is gonna notice!" "Just remember, their ways are not ours."

TotallyOz Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 LOL Sad but true! My last trip to Thailand had me taking 11 bags with me. And, these 3 new toys are added to the collection of all the other shit I "must" have with me on a trip. The crazy thing I travel with is a full office set high speed scanner, printer, etc. Insanity? Yes. But, it makes me Happy. Happy. Happy. lookin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TampaYankee Posted December 28, 2013 Members Share Posted December 28, 2013 It must take you a year to get through customs even when they are not harassing you. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hitoallusa Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Oh my Oz.. I love the fact that you floss.. It is a good practice.. You and I should have been born princesses with a lot of attendants and ladies in waiting.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Oh my Oz.. I love the fact that you floss.. It is a good practice.. You and I should have been born princesses with a lot of attendants and ladies in waiting.. My dear, it is hard to be a princess when you are already a queen. TY, I normally don't travel with that much but I wanted to be sure I had a lot of stuff in Thailand that I like to use like my Nespresso machine, pressure cooker, iron skillets, etc. You know, things that just have to be used once every blue moon. wayout, AdamSmith and boiworship 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted December 28, 2013 Members Share Posted December 28, 2013 30 years ago I went around the world (literally) with two medium size expandable bags (no rollers). One held charts and aeronautical paraphernalia and the other clothes. I was gone for 15 days and had enough clothes to only wash once. Today I cannot get out of sight without one large roller bag, two expandable bags (for electronics), a headset bag, enough charts and stuff to kill a couple of trees + a few bottles of water. That is the bare minimum. How times have changed. Best regards, RA1 TotallyOz, MsGuy and AdamSmith 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CharliePS Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The first time I went to Europe, for six weeks, I took a large suitcase filled with "necessities" as well as a large carry-on, and not a day went by that I didn't regret the burden. Over the years I learned how to cut things back to the point that I could go to Europe for a week with just a shoulder bag or small backpack. I often take old clothes that I discard as I travel, and replace with new ones that I buy there if I really need them. The TSA actually did me a favor by restricting the objects and the size of toiletries I could take on the plane. Now that airlines are charging for checked bags, I try to wear all the clothes I need onto the plane, fill the pockets, and use a small roll-on for an extra pair of shoes, iPad, chargers, and anything else that won't fit on my person. I recently drove Lucky to the airport for a ten day vacation in Thailand. His luggage completely filled my trunk and back seat. What do you people do there that requires so much stuff?

Guest EXPAT Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Having visited nearly 90 countries, I carry as little as possible when I travel. I also learned the burden of carrying too much and I haven't done that in years. That's why I love my MacBook Air. It's the lightest computer around.

Members lookin Posted December 29, 2013 Members Share Posted December 29, 2013 I'm with Charlie and EXPAT. A roller bag that fits in the overhead compartment will get me anywhere I need to go for as long as I like. It helps that I avoid cold places, as shorts, sandals and polo shirts take up very little room. And I like that my stuff stays with me at all times. A journey starts with just one step. It's nicer when I do not schlep. TotallyOz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotallyOz Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 So, I guess the general consensus is to carry less? So, I guess I should not consider a bike that folds in half to make it easier to pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RA1 Posted December 29, 2013 Members Share Posted December 29, 2013 Now wait a minute. I definitely am a frugal flyer, but, I decided a long time ago that whatever anyone had the money to spend for was their own business. On a family trip a few years ago with three people going, we took three bicycles, the gear to mount them on a rental car + our several days stuff. We completely enjoyed our trip to MT and took no more than "necessary". Therefore, whatever you wish to take and can afford to take is completely up to your budget, the room on the aircraft + FEDEX + UPS + excess baggage charges. Make yourself at home.
