Rolling clothes for travel is brilliant! I also love to put more delicate items in a ziploc bag (large) and squeeze out all the air. Sometimes things get squished & the ziplog protects the valuables - cause you never know when that 3.01oz item gets loose in there!</p> Hi Betsy, Yes! Rolling clothes for travel is brilliant!

When I travel to see family, I typically only take 2-3 outfits. As you mention, laundry is always an option, and if I'm just sitting around the house relaxing and visiting all day, I can typically get away with wearing an outfit more than once before washing it. It makes for super-light packing and no need to check any baggage. </p><p>For business travel I recently purchased a combo laptop/clothing Samsonite Silhouette bag which holds my laptop and travel accessories plus two full outfits (including shoes). It's a perfect bag for the short business trip, and has the added benefits of 1) fitting perfectly under airline seats and 2) has "spinner" wheels making cruising through the airport no problem:</p><p><a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/c3fcsz" rel="nofollow">http://preview.tinyurl.com/c3fcsz</a></p><p>Sure, your Husband makes fun of me every time he sees me rolling it through a conference, but so worth it for functional convenience. :)</p> Thanks for the post; excellent tips.

Sure, your Husband makes fun of me every time he sees me rolling it through a conference, but so worth it for functional convenience. :)
