Vacation packing always seems easy when you are leaving for your trip coming home is always the hard part. When I went to the airport my bad was just 3lbs shy of the 50lb max. I was now returning back to my homestead with several souvenirs which included 4 bottles of wine and a bottle of olive oil. Bottles or liquid are not as light as I would have liked. I obviously cant carry them on so I had to get creative by packing everything I possibly could into my backpack to displace the added weight.





I was able to fit all of the following in my backpack. Kinda Impressive don't you think?

1. Beach towel
2. 4 pairs of pants
3. 3 pairs of shorts/capris
4. sweatshirt
5. king size down pillow
6. 7 shirts
7. several pairs of underwear & bras
8. 2 dresses
9. Camera
10. Tons of charging chords
11. Sunglasses
    
12. Me
