One of the most difficult tasks when traveling is to pack.  I want to only use a carry on and a backpack.  This trip is only five days and if my luggage gets lost enroute it may not arrive before it is time to return home.  So let the packing begin.  How can I take everything in a suitcase that is 21 inches tall, 11 inches across and only 9 inches deep?  Stay tuned as the packing begins.
