How to travel light,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
I spent the last weekend in August in Hawkes Bay with two girlfriends,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. It was quite an adventure to be without our husbands or children,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Our anticipatory emails were headed: Three go crazy in Haumoana,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
We weren sure we know what to do with ourselves but had a strong feeling we think of something,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
We caused a mini ruckus on Friday morning at Auckland airport before we even left when my friend two chardonnay bottles clanged loudly together in their little cooler bag,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
People looked and laughed including a mother who was helping her daughter check in,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"Don sit near them,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," she warned.
Our weekend had only just begun and already concerned parents were advising their teenagers to steer well clear of us,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Celebrity chef Josh Emett cooked us dinner at Craggy Range winery on Friday night which was very nice of him,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Dinner table discussion turned to my excellent packing skills,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Because I had no check-in luggage I was revving up the RAV4 rental car at Napier airport while my companions were still waiting for their suitcases to come off the aircraft,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
They were particularly impressed to learn that I travel in exactly the same manner on long-haul flights,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
In the last fifteen months I taken only a soft-sided carry-on bag on three separate overseas trips: a week in New York; a week in Orlando,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Florida; and nine days in Europe. Here my guide to travelling light.
Wear your heaviest clothes on the flight: There no point taking up valuable space by packing bulky items such as jeans,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], coats and platform wedges.
Take easy-care clothes: Garments that can be hand-washed in the bathroom sink and left to drip-dry over the bath are essential,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Ration shoes: Just take a pair of ultra-lightweight sneakers for trekking around the shops,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tourist spots and theme parks by day. Wear the wedges at night.
Pack like a minimalist: Take two sporty/summery dresses and a lightweight cardigan for day. Add a top or two for teaming with jeans for casual evenings. If formal functions are on the agenda,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pack one or two no-crush cocktail frocks.
Head for summer: If you need thermals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], jerseys and ski jackets for a winter holiday then travelling this light isn a viable option.
Load up your handbag: Put comparatively heavy objects such as books and the little plastic bag containing liquid make-up and face creams in your handbag so the carry-on stays as light as possible,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
I read recently in some glossy magazine that while travelling with seventeen Louis Vuitton trunks was once the idealised way to roam the globe, now having carry-on only is the ultimate status symbol.
