Thank you for the information. 14 days. 5 different airplanes was an adventure in its self!

Hahaha good for you!!! I draw on my black light luggage with white fabric marker!! And yours was so much smarter than a Tumi!!! They are soooo heavy!!!!

@patriciawilliams5031 Год назад

Thank you for sharing your packing tips. I had not thought of the hangar method for 2-3 days of clothing and I think I’ll definitely try that on my upcoming trip to France. I also like the idea of a rolling backpack. Nowadays with all of the lost luggage, it’s great to be able to do carryon only but as you said, it’s good to be prepared with a small tote bag/ purse to transfer valuables into if you are forced to gate check.

Great ideas !

Thanks - I'm working on the ocean cruise packing now.

@claudiahansen4938 Год назад

That's a great idea, nestling protein powder in water bottle.

@walkietalkietraveller2932 Год назад

i agree, Claudia :)

@sandynbtx6967 Год назад

I use a similar combination of bags-Travelpro spinner, Vera Bradley rolling backpack, and crossbody purse. This is a set up that I can handle on my own.

@claudiahansen4938 Год назад

Hanger method is different and unique!

Very interesting! My daughter and I are doing a 2-week Viking cruise in mid-November from Budapest to Amsterdam. Our air was included free and we also got a great price on the cruise. We did a week long Christmas markets cruise last December on another line so it will be interesting to compare a 1-week vs 2-week river cruises on different lines. I have done 40+ ocean cruises (where I get free laundry due to my cruise line loyalty) so packing for a 2-week cruise with no laundry will be a challenge ( the cost of sending out your laundry on a River cruise is ridiculously expensive!). Any additional tips will be appreciated!

@sandijerome Год назад

The floor in the bathroom is heated, and there is a control to make it hotter. Bring some clothes pins and a small cord - then you can rinse out things in the shower, hang them up, and they will be dry by morning. Enjoy your trip - the river boats are amazing.

@joandobrijevic7572 Год назад

@@sandijerome thank-you! I was thinking the same thing that in order to travel lightly, we will need to rinse some of our things out along the way. I’m also debating whether to extend our cruise at the end in Amsterdam as we really don’t get to experience that. I did find the prices charged by Viking to do this were outrageous though so I was thinking of doing this independently. I’m not sure if Viking will add a surcharge to change our return flights if we do this?

@sandijerome Год назад

@@joandobrijevic7572 We handled our own flights and Amsterdam hotel - so not familiar with their fees - sorry. We stayed at the Hotel Hilton - because we had stayed there before and didn't plan a lot of things in Amsterdam.

@sandijerome Год назад

I didn't take an iron, but I did take a flat iron for my hair, and that was okay. I sprayed my clothes with hot water and then were fine the next day.

@dcaldwell3175 Год назад

Thank you for posting this video. So nice to see a new (to me anyway) way to pack clothing. The rolling backpack is a great personal item!

@sandijerome Год назад

Thank you so much - it has taken many years and trips to find just the right fit for me!

@jo-annr.1291 Год назад

I love packing videos! Your hanger strategy with 3 days of clothes is amazing! Where did your cruise start and end ? I am looking into either a Rhine or Danube , did you like Viking? Thanks

@sandijerome Год назад

I love Viking-best time and we did the Rhine which is a great river. Thank you for the comments and you might enjoy my free e-book on my website. Www.sandijerome.com

@tijay8507 Год назад

That isn't a bloody purse .. it is a lightweight foldable tote bag!!

@veronicwbrennan4002 Год назад

In the USA what we call a handbag they call a purse.

@elvisneedsboats3714 Год назад

And she told you why she has it - if she is required to check the backpack, she can use it for some of the contents that she doesn’t want to check. I have purses of all sizes and some are that big. Just depends on what you need to carry.

It would be really helpful to know what meds or OTC drugs you took to "fight" COVID other than the Paxlovid rx

@sandijerome Год назад

We took Ricola for cough, Airborne, Zinc, and Dual Action Advil.

@julesst.germain9521 Год назад

Love your packing and thanks for the ideas. But with everything you shown is that under 15 lbs? Isn’t international travel carryon have to be 15-19 including the wait on the luggage?

@sandijerome Год назад

We never had anyone look at our carry-on - but I don't think it was very heavy since I often wore it on my back.

@otherwisedelighted2825 Год назад

Love your video. What is the brand of the beautiful red jacket you are wearing?

@sandijerome Год назад

My jacket was from the Columbia store. Thanks!

@nunyabeezwacks1408 Год назад

Wouldn't having many transfers be an ideal reason to not check your luggage, because it could get lost in one of the transfers?

@sandijerome Год назад

I agree - the risk goes WAY up - but we knew that we couldn't handle that much luggage with our balance/sight issues.

@nunyabeezwacks1408 Год назад

@@sandijerome Thanks for the explanation, that makes perfect sense.

@julesst.germain9521 Год назад

One more question. Do you have a formal night that you need a nice evening dress?

@sandijerome Год назад

On a Viking River Cruise - no. It was very casual and I wore black slacks and a nice blouse at night.

@BeverlyJC Год назад

i'm just wondering about that magnetic clips and hooks. I don't have an idea what and how it looks like and how you said you use it.

@sandijerome Год назад

The door was magnetic, so we'd hang up our hats, gloves, scarves, etc - on the door.

Where did I you get the little strap to attach both bags together ? Please .

@sandijerome Год назад

They are actually used to wrap around suitcases to keep them shut, but also make a nice "joiner" of two bags. You can get on Amazon amazon.com/BlueCosto-Luggage-Straps-Suitcases-Suitcase/dp/B08XJYKWW4/?th=1

Hello! Did the backpack wheels stain your clothes from being dirty or not really? Thank you.

@sandijerome 10 месяцев назад

Sorry to take so long, just dug out my backpack today for another trip and the wheel are pretty clean. So I put some baby powder on them and a black shirt - and no problem. There is a plastic frame on the bottom that seem to hit just right to keep the wheels from touching my back. I hope this helps!
