As we get ready to take a long weekend in Boston, both Selena and I are packing using the new system that her friend Alex introduced. It reminded me that I documented this system in action when I had to pack for an overnight retreat with my work. Here’s the breakdown:
This is what I was bringing with (I needed an outfit for golfing, for the pool, for the evening festivities and for the meetings the following day.)
The folding system requires that outfits are ziplocked together. This makes it easier to just grab what you need when you need it.
Then just about everything is sushi rolled together.
And it is so compact that all of that can even fit spaciously into this tiny backpack.
It takes a little getting used to, using all the ziplock bags, and what not, but in the end this is a really efficient way to travel and will come in really handy when we (hopefully) go to Europe later this year.
i must pack all 4 of us for our DE trip tomorrow, i think i shall give this a try. we’ll see!!
Packing by this manner allowed us to fit everything in the small trunk of the VW Bug, and take the convertible up the Cape, which was definitely the way to go. How did it work for you, Tegan?
BTW, Selena noted to me offline that I did not properly explain the full intricacies of her packing method, that she adopted from our friend Alex, so hopefully before one of our next trips, she can re-post a more comprehensive version about how it all works.
