Before the Trip, Curb your Enthusiasm Other Stuff

Curb your Enthusiasm while Packing

Place your carry-on travel bag on the bed, open it. Estimate the holding capacity in days (PD for mathematical calculations – packing days), clothing folded and compressed.  Proceed to the laundry room.  Estimate the capacity of the bin of your washing machine in days; based on the size of the travel bag on your bed – stuffed full.  Two days for my carry-on.  Mathematically WMV (Washing Machine Volume). 

If your journey provides a washing machine(s) along your route (WME, washing machine encounters), the clothing being lugged in your travel bag can be reduced.  Mathematically this travel equation is 

Days Gone/ (WMV+WME) = PD

For example: Your eight-day stay in St. Bart’s includes washing machine access on two days.  All mandatory travel wear for dinner each evening, the beach each day has a minimum useful life of eight days.

The calculation;         

8 Days gone/ (WMV of  2 + WME of 2) = 2 PD (pack for 2 days).

CARRY-ON
