Is It Possible to Pack for 10 Days in just a Carry On?

1 Duffle Bag
pair of work jeans, pair of khakis, 5 pairs of underwear, 5 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of shorts, swimsuit, jammys, sneakers, 4 t-shirts, 2 long sleeve shirts, sport drink mix, licorice, trail mix, jerky

1 Computer Bag
computer, power cord, camera, camera battery charger, hard drive of music and movies, internet cable, working gloves, safety goggles, several hats, granola bars, spanish book, book I can read, journal, pen, gum, passport, money, toiletry bag, ziploc bag, phone, phone charger, flip flops

1 Toiletry Bag
toothbrush, pepto-bismol, IMODIUM A-D, brush, deodorant, ibuprofen, cold medicine, razors

1 Ziploc Bag
skin lotion, shaving cream, carmex, shampoo, conditioner, cologne, aloe gel, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, toothpaste

1 Dan
pair of work pants, t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, belt, underwear, socks and work boots, wallet

What I need to fit yet
mosquito spray, malaria pills, shades, bandana, sandals, kids games

Does anyone know if I can carry on all this stuff? It does look possible that I can carry on enough for 10 days. Unless I'm missing something big! Might consider wearing two pairs of jeans on the plane to make some room for what I have left.... NOT!

I was given some great advice to pack first before I wrote this blog! THANK YOU POLLY!

Good Luck packing Girls!

  1. Other than your razors I think you are good to go for getting everything in a carry on!! Because I am carrying larger liquids, I would be happy to put your razors in my checked bag! You will be ready to lay block when we get to El Salvador after carrying your bags through the airport!! - Marcia P

  3. how big is the mosquito spray?...

    I think you should carry everything on and check a tiny bag with the razors.

  4. 13 out of 15 people on my team fit everything in carry on bags for our trip to El Salvador last week. You can do it!

  5. Where is the dental floss?? 10 days with no flossing is just bad hygiene.

  6. You can do it! If ma did it on her first trip, you can do it...if you are really worried about the razors, the ladies you are traveling with are going to have room for sure. I'll see you in Houston! (By the way, I have tons of snacky foods in my carry on so don't worry about bring lots...)
