it's in the boot

To answer the question what's in the boot I'm going to show you how I plan to pack for 15 days of road travel here.  Actual clothing may vary.

Step 1 - make a list of clothes you think you need to take.  I will not bore you with my list - I've taken a photo of my possible road trip attire.  I recommend laying out your own selection on the floor or a large table.   Once you get it all in front of you it makes it easier to take some of it and put it back.


This is my current selection.










Step 2 - Pack it.  You choose how.  I like to use a combination of rolling clothing into bundles and laying some in garment cubes.   Note also that I'm taking along a second smaller carry all for toiletries and shoes.


 If you find yourself wanting to take too much, consider these travel storage bags which when air is removed compress a mound of clothes into a thin package.
Step 3 - Put it in the boot.  My cases fit along with a car care kit, some extra shopping bags, towels and surprises.   I still have room to put a few more things if necessary.  But my objective here is to travel lightly and not have to rearrange the boot every time I need to access something.





So what's in your boot?
