You egomaniac, bragging about traveling around the world, complaining about your inconvenience during traveling, you have no fuckin clue what blue collar hard working Americans are facing right now...FUCK YOU!!!
If I get another chance to travel to other countries again (I'm 81 and used to travel on business), It will be a pleasure to see everyday folks wearing clothing such as you describe instead of the 99.5 % of the male slobs on the streets of the USA - Are there still countries that dress as you describe ?
I suspect your attitude about denim will change when you get to Laramie-if you want to fit in with the locals. Suggest a visit to the Buckhorn Bar downtown to take in the local history-Dan probably already has this penciled in for you. Safe travels.
Man after my own heart when it comes to packing. Been teaching my children the virtues of a single carry-on and the time-saving, carefree delight of skipping the baggage belt. Though how you manage to fit so much into a single carry on beats me
Hi Joel, Enjoyed your packing comment as one who spends vast amounts ot time on the road (even through covid). However, there is no way that my carry on Rimowa can accomodate the six shirts, 4 trousers, sweater, blazer, 5 undershirts, 5pairs socks - as well as toilet gear (not mentioned), cords and charging devices, not to mention assorted papers that are part and parcel of life. No mention made of rain jacket - always carried on person, Eddie Bauer goretex made, light rugged, decent looking and acts as a rug if necessary. One thing I ALWAYS carry is merino wool undershirts/sweater - they are fantastic - can be worn for week(s) on end, do not smell, and work well in cold and warm climates - New Zealand brand Icebreaker. Might sound disgusting but a real winner. Would love to head like you to northern Norway - a dream of mine. But heading intead this season to our boat for cruising in Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia. Have a great summer. Peter Churchouse
Landing in Singapore once for an 8 month skipper's gig the Immigration officer mentioned that I traveled very lightly for someone staying for 8 months. I laughed and said 'Most of the clothes for sale back home (BC, Canada) come from Indonesia, India and here. When I go home I will have new suitcases plugged to the weight-limit with fresh clothing.' Granted my work is not in an office, but I do carry subdued colour long pants, shiney shoes, and a white shirt for Customs & Immigration formalities, and, when entering Muslim countries, explain to the women aboard that the mini-bikini must be covered with a shift to the ankles and a scarf as a politeness to their beliefs.
You might want to coordinate with Tom Dyson, who along with soul mate and three youngsters spent months on the road going around the world working out of carry-on luggage.
That is one of the worst lists I have ever seen. I have been on 40+ international trips and to 138 countries. What might be best for business, high-end hotels, and stops to impress castle-owning friends is not my idea of traveling. Being comfortable, carrying minimum weight, and really seeing the places one visits is far more important. Shorts, T-shirts, sandals, and a light rain-proof jacket (yes, plus a long pair of pants or two and some shoes with a few socks) would seem to be much more prudent in much of Europe in the summer months. ENJOY!
Agree on your comment of his list. I’ve been to 131 countries and territories on 7 continents and met with 7 presidents or equivalent, more government ministers than I can remember, a couple of billionaires, a few guerrilla leaders , and a whole lot of people who don’t make a dollar a day. As I read his list , I thought “ this must be a really boring guy to travel with .. no offense intended
Last time wife and I travelled, we went to Mexico, (2weeks) to Mexico my luggage was carry on, my wife, took her luggage to fragile it got left behind she didnt get it for another week. We went to Walmart for some clothes for her and she thought she should wash them first, lots of dye came out the clothes.
I have 2 points to share. First, a nice pair of slim, fitted jeans looks fabulous on my husband of 49 years. Second, shorts are a must here in Florida in the summertime. And I have found that men’s legs are acceptable when exposed, so long as the shorts are knee length.
Can't get a snowboard as carry-on, so I'll always run the risk of missing luggage. Worth it though.
And I can't agree with no jeans?!?...call yourself an Aussie? ;)
On air travel in general, I'm very much liking the trend of slim young females wearing tight "active wear" pants of all colours everywhere these days. I'm sure it's very comfortable for them, and its generally very agreeable for us guys as well. For the ladies who don't wish to be gawked at, black (or other very dark colours) are the only ones that don't show off everything you've got, and I mean everything!

“ Our peripatetic party numbers three – yours truly, plus wife and seven-year-old daughter (in reverse order of command).”
Not sure how the travel will go. But at least you understand the power structure. So I suppose that is a good start.
Seriously, though…it’s amazing how much I can pack into my super small Travelpro carry-on for a 5-day overseas trip. So yeah, it can be done.
ridiculous
You mentioned a jacket "fitted at the waste"! Where were you educated?
Probably the same place where he wore a top hat & monocle to class everyday 😆
JK, Joel!
I have to disagree with no shorts. I’m a fit tanned ,toned ,60 something that has no problem showing his legs .
I’m not sure my packing skills would allow me to fit all of that into one bag
Thanks for your thoughts and musings

Gosh, such little luggage, but so many rules.
