This is the bag I travel with: REI's Hitchhiker daypack. I love it. When I told Dave's cousin Lois I wasn't checking luggage for our 4-day ski trip, she was surprised. But this pack's awesome. It's holding:
- snow pants (1 pair)
- thermal leggings (1 pair)
- base-layer shirts (2)
- turtleneck shirt (1)
- socks (3)
- unders (4)
- bra (1)
- knit hat (1)
- balaclava (1)
- snow gloves (1 pair)
- earband (1)
- sunglasses (1 pair)
- swimsuit (1)
- shampoo (1)
- conditioner (1)
- deodorant (1)
- moisturizer (1)
- toothbrush (1)
- toothpaste (1)
- wet wipes (1 pack)
- kleenex (1 pack)
- laptop (1)
- laptop charger (1)
- cell phone (1)
- ipod (1)
- wallet (1)
- electronics cables (1 small bag)
- flight, rental car, and map info (1 ziploc)
So, my bag's small, but I can't claim to pack light. :)
To round out the week's clothes, I'm wearing jeans, another base-layer shirt, a fleece jumper, and my parka. I may unzip the expander panel on the daypack for the parka. Or use it to cushion my seat. We'll see.
What luggage do you guys travel with?

OK. My years of traveling have forced me to be a pretty good packer but I can't see myself fitting everything into a pack like that.
I'm completely in awe.
I have 2 suitcases from L.L. Bean which I think are discontinued. One is a carry on - the other is just slightly bigger. Give me too big a suitcase and I'll make sure I fill it!
I can manage on a trip with just the carry on - but then I usually need another bag if I am taking my work laptop.
My love of shoes causes my main problem.
Friends from Denver tell me CO's pretty frigid these days. Stay warm!!
It's tough when your suitcase is too big -- you really do have to fill it to keep things in place.
Things must be kept in place. :)
It was very cold here today, but it's warming each day. An excuse to fill myself with hot tea!
p.s. That scene in Up In The Air when George Clooney is packing his bag is a total turn-on. So streamlined.
