  hello tanya How to Travel With One Bag and change 2 o 3 time a day (me too when I aTRAVEL) Things You’ll Need: Shoes and flip-flops Cameras and accessories Shower bag Luggage Clothes and robe Toiletries Linens and towels Zip-top gallon bags Place a notepad and pen in your packing area. As you pack, it will be easier to write things down that you remember at the last minute rather than stopping in the middle of packing to go on a scavenger hunt for forgotten items. Don't wait until the night before you leave to begin packing. If you have forgotten anything it may be too late to purchase. It's best to get a good night sleep before your travel Try to select clothes that can share accessories, like shoes and belts. Many people buy new socks and undergarments to take to camp. If appropriate, plan to leave the new items at home, and pack the old. Then you can throw away old undergarments at the end of each day. This will lighten the return home packing process. Try to select clothes that don't wrinkle easily and aren't bulky. Check the weather forecast for your destination so that you can dress appropriately. Don't forget to take a rain jacket or plastic poncho. Plan to wear your heaviest pair of shoes while you travel to the camp so that your bag will be lighter. If you're concerned that the travel-size items will not last the entire time you are at camp, then use the items a few weeks before you leave to see how many days each bottle will last. Then you will know what quantity of each travel size item to purchase for the trip. Refill the bottles if you can, instead of buying new ones. Try to purchase containers that close securely to prevent leaks. Most camps do not provide linens and towels. Be sure to check to see if you need to bring these items. Place two pillow cases on your pillow in case the outside one gets dirty. Or, you can turn the pillowcase inside out. Placing items in clear zip-top bags allows you to find things in your luggage quickly without unfolding clothes and disrupting an organized bag. The zip-top bags also help you pack tightly by removing excess air in the luggage. If you are traveling with a group, place an easily identifiable marker on your bag, such as colorful tape or luggage straps, so that you can quickly distinguish your bag from others. Label all of your items with your name in case they are misplaced at camp. Pack a robe and flip-flops for use in the shower area. A bag that can hang on the shower faucet is a handy place to put your shower toiletries Get a bag with shoulder or back straps and plenty of pockets. The bag need not be huge, since one will not carry much. Gather the following: Three changes of clothing (at most) Laundry detergent for washing by hand (powdered is much easier to handle than liquid, and allowed on airplanes.) A universal sink stopper (available at any hardware store). A rubber ball is a good alternative. A portable clothesline (available at any camping or travel goods store) Toiletries Pack using the "bundle" method: wrap clothes around large objects (such as bags of toiletries or pairs of shoes), rather than folding or rolling clothes. Stuff underwear and socks into shoes to save space and to prevent crushing shoes. The bundle method saves the most space and also prevents wrinkling. Buy toiletries in miniature or transfer liquid contents like shampoo into smaller travel bottles. Save hotel/airplane toiletries so you can pack them the next time you travel. Put toiletries that could leak (shampoo, gel, etc.) in plastic bags to avoid the hassle of having your clothes covered in liquid soap. Bags are also useful if clothing doesn't completely dry overnight. Due to airline security issues, you should use solids rather than liquids. Shampoo is available in solid soap-block form. Better yet, purchase toiletries at your destination to avoid security issues. They may be cheaper too depending on the currency. Minimize the number of items that require electricity, as converters can be costly and space-consuming. Portable electronics often run on batteries, and shaving, of course, can be done by hand. Mail home or give away items not necessary for traveling, such as finished books or souvenirs. Trading books is a great free way to keep one's travel library fresh. Also check out www.bookcrossing.com - here you can leave books for others to pick up and find books wherever you might be in the world that others have left behind (bookcrossers leave notes about the books, you can read where the book's been, reviews, etc.). You should be able to fit a sheet of labels in your bag to stick on the books...or better yet print them out from a public computer in an internet cafe...
