No flight - Packing

When we do not fly and we are taking a trip for four days or less I pack in possibly a unconventional way, but to me it is so much more relaxing than putting everything in a suitcase. I pack in a laundry basket, yes I said I pack in a laundry basket.

Here are my thoughts about why I pack in a basket. 1. After the trip is over all of your dirty laundry is in a laundry basket already 2. Lots more space is around if you do not have a zipper 3. If you put a put a blanket on the top (I always do because I know most hotels do not wash the comforters) you can still stack extra items on top in the car if needed 4. Easy to place on a rolling hotel cart 5. Overall I think I pack more efficiently in the basket because I have space without the top 6. If you have a small child it is a time saver too because you can carry it around dumping stuff in as you are leaving if needed. Ok I have tons more reasons but you get the point I think it's gravy!!

Try it on your next trip!! Let me know how it goes!!
