Packing for Carry On

My husband and I just returned from his high school class reunion in a small town, in Southern Illinois.  I would tell you how many years but then I would have to “kill you”!  It is safe to say that “name badges” were crucial.


We were only going to be gone a few days so I decided to try to pack with only carry-on luggage.  The challenge of course, is how to bottle up all my lotions, creams, liquids, etc. in one quart size bag.  These are items that I cannot leave home without and nobody else wants me to be without.


So, I poured and mixed and finally got the following in my little plastic bag. My only saving grace was that I purchased facial cleansing pads and eliminated one bottle in my collection.


5 (2 oz) bottles of hair products (humidity is not my friend)

1 (1oz) bottle of day moisturizer

1 (1oz) bottle of night moisturizer

1 (1oz) bottle of liquid makeup

1 (2oz) bottle of cologne

1 (2oz) bottle of hand wash

1 (1oz) bottle of sunscreen

1 (1oz) tube of concealer

1 tube of toothpaste

1 (2oz) bottle of eye drops

1 (1oz) disinfectant spray

1 (2oz) bottle of contact solution

and, two lip colors


When I put my bulging plastic bag, purse and shoes in the bin at the airport security, they removed the plastic bag and placed it in its own bin!  


The moral to this story...when you think you cannot place one more item in your plastic bag...keep trying!
