Smart Packing Advice from Expert Susan Foster

September 21st 2008 22:06
Smart Packing is both a book and a website, by Susan Foster.

Foster is a clothing expert and a live-out-of-a-suitcase traveller. This little book is practical and useful.

There are diagrams and instructions on how to plan suitable wardrobes for any kind of trip - without carrying too much stuff. Buying luggage. Being calm about your stuff while travelling.

But here's my bottom line on this book: she tells you how to dress. I hate clothes, hate shopping for them, hate caring for them. I do appreciate being covered up but that's where it stops.

I would be better dressed at home if I lived out of a suitcase packed the Foster way.


Smart Packing for Today's Traveler, 3rd edition, ISBN 978-0-9702196-7-1.

My aim is to travel with a very light bag which I can take on the plane with me, containing the absolute minimum. I've yet to try it but I reckon I'll achieve it without any advice from anyone.

Plenty of under pants, changes covering extremes of hot and cold, a coat which can go on or over the arm, absolute minimum toiletries, toothbrush, paste, comb, small soap - can also be used to wash hair.

Sneakers for the feet (on) and some light shoes, few socks. Towel?

Tissues I guess and some sort of document/money holder.

Any advances on that?

Fancy meeting you here again!

Who would want to travel light?

I need to travel in style, but, then again I expect it does do to have a $ in the pocket, even if it is Mother's $.

You can't beat the aristocracy, can you?

Good to see you Jill.
