Packing Tips!
I almost ALWAYS take ONLY a CARRY-ON!
And... you can, too! Below is how I do it... And here is a link to where you can find what I use:

For Carry-On Only Success
1
Start with pants
First... place your pants, leggings or even shorts flat against the very bottom of your suit case. Rolling or folding them will take up much more room.
Try to limit to very few pants-- pick those you can recycle and are easy to wash and dry! If possible, you'll want to pack lighter items like skirts and dresses (especially in the summer months).
2
Shoes
You need to wear your bulkiest shoes--- so in the summer that would be tennis shoes, in the winter it might be boots. Then take 1-2 other pairs. Flip flops, sandals, another pair of tennis shoes. You should put those as close to the edge of the suitcase as possible and fill them with socks.

ROLL ROLL ROLL
Next, you want to roll everything else as tight as possible and place in suitcase like a puzzle, filling in every space available. Anything too large to roll (like sweaters or blazers) will go on the very top flat. If you are using packing cubes, just fill them as full as possible with your packed items.
