In this episode: FAQ is: Packing questions? What are the most popular ones?    They are mostly related to overpacking issues.   How many suitcases should I bring?   You can carry as few as possible and only one load.  My goal is to bring half of what I thought I needed. Fill the suitcase with things to give away, then fill it up again with things you buy along your trip.   What do people forget to bring on vacations?   The first item is bathroom things like makeup, toothbrush, comb, and accessories. These can be purchased at your destination.   Eyeglasses may be more difficult to find. Contacts are difficult to make up, so keep your prescription to order them.
