I hate it. I would love to travel with just a toothbrush in my top pocket but it is not practical. Any tips on how to make it as painless as possible. I always take far more than I need, my suitcases bulge at the seams, and the paradox is wherever I am I end up buying another suitcase or bag 'cos I have now more than when I started out with.
I could use someone with a few extra pounds to sit on my case when i try to close it.

You surprise me, Gus. You must have done so much packing over the years, surely you should be an expert. I dunno, chuck in some jocks and socks; shirts and trousers; washing and shaving gear; a few books. That'll do, won't it?  |

My problem matty is that I have no patience, (except in bed, but we can talk about that another time  ) I can not fold clothes. I have seen people take a shirt and in a couple of deft movements reduce it to the size of a postage stamp, I exaggerate but you know what I mean. I on the other hand screw things up into a ball and hope for the best. I live in fear of the customs opening my case and me having to pack it again, quite apart from my box of tricks for the ladies that I always have with me gus |

Is that a hammer and spade? Good Lord, hammer and spade?? what ladies do you associate with that would require such tools? I can only think that you are a builders merchant, or you are looking for some one to dig your garden. The mind boggles. gus |

Still not sure what the spade's for, Sandy. And it makes me feel quite uneasy.  |

If you're burying bodies, take some quicklime with you. As for the packing, pack once, then leave it for a while. Come back to it and go through everything saying 'Do I really need to take this?' If the answer's 'yes' to everything, you're screwed. |
