I found this video on YouTube (done by Nitty Gritty Travelers) and thought it would be informative for those of you who want to refine your packing list when going on vacation.  Over the years I have learned to pack much more efficiently and with more wisdom about what is really needed vs. what is for “just in case” situations…I can now go on a 10 day vacation to an all-inclusive resort with only my purse and a carry on suitcase.  Such a relief since I don’t want to pay baggage fees or worry about whether or not my bag will be on the carousel in baggage claim.

The video below describes many of the things I typically bring beyond the basics like a locked bag to secure valuables while I’m in the pool or at the beach (check out Kyss bags, I’ve been using them for years and they have saved me a ton of worry).  Check out the video and let me know what surprises, if any, you found with his list…
