I get worried that there are clothing scenarios I'm not thinking of. But inevitably, when the trip is over, there are usually a couple/few items of clothing that I haven't used. So, I agree, travelers should really trust your advice on that one. Shannon, you are so right about the packing cubes and packing lockers. There are also packing pouches for <a href="http://www.luggagepros.com/travelon-jewelry-and-cosmetic-clutch-with-center-pouch.shtml" rel="nofollow">jewelry and ties</a>! My necklaces used to get all tangled in toothbrushes and mascara tubes; so annoying. Ok, tennis balls on a trip: genius! I was recently on a vacation in the Bahamas with my family and you do a lot of swimming and walking and water-slides, etc. that you don't normally do on a daily basis. Sore muscles can result and this is a great idea. Thanks, Travel Ninja, I am going to use this advice and tell others as well! Less is more is so true, but sometimes I can’t help myself!

Most of their soaps are solid and only require a piece of wax paper around it if storing in a backpack. This can be good or bad depending on how you look at it, but you have an instant room air freshener (and if youve stayed in a dorm at a hostel you know theyre desperately needed) and your clothes will always smell like a Lush store...which can get obnoxious. I recommend their Godiva hair shampoo. One bar lasted me 3 months on the road. re: toiletries: I always get stuff from Lush ahead of time.

Totally agree with packing vitamins and some basic meds. I always have a few things on hand, enough to deal with mild travel related ills for a day or two. I travel solo most of the time and the last thing I want to do is run around a strange town looking for a pharmacy when I'm feeling under the weather. Love the Ninja analogy :)

They make life an absolute cinch and you can repack incredibly fast! :-) I’m a fan of packing cubes – particularly if you’re backpacking.
