This was a great unpacking video, thanks for sharing!!💯💯💯
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the tip about Lotion bars! I had no idea they had that.
You are so welcome!
Interesting video about a backpack thru Europe. When I travel, I just wash everything when i get home and don't parse out what's clean and dirty.🤷♀️
GREAT video!
Very inspiring. So many great tips.
My travel companion doesn't think she can do COO. I'm hoping this video will help!
So many great tips! Thanks for sharing :) we went to London over the holidays and I took a Fanny pack - luckily the younger kids are wearing them now so they’re considered back in style now haha
I appreciate seeing how your packing changed through your trip. Great video! 😄
Thank you!! 😊
This is exactly what I needed!! A normal person’s video! I just saw a video and his backpack was $300!😂😂
i see those videos, too and roll my eyes. 'more money than sense' ! :)))
Thanks! I am totally a normal person. No sponsors here. 😊
There’s some very expensive bags out there lol. But you can find good quality ones for reasonable prices. Personally I’d rather save $250 for other stuff and just spend $50 or less on a bag.
@@missblackwood yes!!!
I agree wearing clothes more than once and I also used the Febreze refresher spray. Just came back from a 23-day holiday in India, but I wished I had a backpack. I managed a duffel bag with personal item, but that duffel bag got very heavy fast. Great video!
Thanks for your input. Good to know there are others out there like me. 😊
Great packing ideas! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
You are so welcome!
This was so cool to watch. Thanks for sharing your awesome tips :D
Great video and tips. Thanks
thanks for sharing
Great video.Thank you for the tips😀
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thank you!
Glad you liked it!
Really useful video - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I like the idea of a back pack only trip but with a bad back and prone to back spasms that’s just not gonna work.😢
Brand-new subscriber here. Thanks for these tips for carryon packing! My personal challenge for an upcoming flight...😊💺🧳✈️❤️😉☀️
You can do it!
Thank you for such a great and real video. So neither of you brought a laptop, iPad or kindle? Also it looks like you just had the shoes you wore and the sandal slides…is that right? I couldn’t do that…my feet need to alternate shoes…but I love that you could!
Thanks for sharing! What brand is the black layering shirt?
Here’s the link to the Segments Merino Wool shirt from Costco. It seems the black is out of stock as I’m posting this, but The colors available change regularly. It seems like they restock in the late summer, like August/September. Super affordable!

So would I be able to fit a 19in backpack under the seat for a trip to France?
Yes, it will fit under the seat in front of you. We were able to put ours in the overhead bins on every flight, though.
Where did you get the puff cost? Tips were great! Thanks
I think you are asking about the puffer coats. I got mine from Sam’s Club several years ago. We ordered his from Amazon just over a year ago. Both were very affordable. CAMEL CROWN Men's Packable Down... www.amazon.com/dp/B07RY8XQ6Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Which airline did you both take to get to London? I know personal item dimensions range a bit depending on the airline. Thanks for the tips!
We flew on Norse Atlantic Air. I checked the sizing for all the airlines we flew on that trip to be sure I was compliant with their “hand luggage” requirements. We flew Jet Blue to JFK, Norse Air to Gatwick/London, Air France from Paris to Venice, and Vueling Air from Rome to Barcelona and back to JFK.
How many pairs of shoes did you take? Just the sandals and the shoes you wore on the plane?
Yep, that’s all the shoes we took. I wore a pair of Dansko flat boots. My husband wore Merrill trekkers.
@@amykrueger7466 Impressive! I’m inspired by your video!
How much weight do you think you and your husband were carrying on your backs?
We weighed the packs when we left. Mine weighed 17lbs. His weighed 23lbs. They weighed a bit more when we came home, due to souvenirs. I definitely used weight as a determining factor when choosing clothes and items to take.
I just want to say how impressed I am that ppl your age are traveling with personal item BACKPACKS where millennials are on UA-cam boasting about their carryon only suitcases with backpacks (and what fine minimal travelers they are) 🙄
@@arianavalloou are right, there isn’t a competition, however the backpacks we carried were not carry-on sized. They are personal size. 19”x 13”x9” and meet the EU/UK hand luggage requirements.
Additionally, Thanks for the compliment. I am in my 50’s and ultimately I hope to simply inspire people to get packing and travel. Saving money on luggage fees is just one of the ways I save to travel more.
