Put everything you think you could need on a bed (you don't need to sleep in), leave it for a couple of days and come back and look at it. You will find that there are lots of items you now realise you will never need. Take them out and repeat until the pile is small enough to be packed.

It works!

Or .. Take 2 sets of clothes, and buy the rest when you get there?

Sell all the "new" clothes before you come back ... That way you can take it all on as hand luggage, dont have to hang around getting your bags after the flight etc etc.

Where are you going too?

my girlfriend at the time suggested a rolling technique before i went away. worked fine, got more stuff in my bag than ever before and it kinda came out like it had been ironed.....

the trip coming home wasnt so simple. I wasn't gonna do any of that rolling rubbish and did i get it all to fit in the bag again?! Hell no!
