Minimalist packers, what would you take for 7 nights? Warm days, cooler nights, swimming stuff required and smart dress code for evenings.
I will wear a jacket or wrap to the airport so no need to pack anything like that. |

Depends were I’m going, I’ve booked the big nude boat for February 2027 the flights I’ve booked allow 2 23kg bags, I’ve splashed on premium economy was only an extra £400 in total. So you can bet I’ll take something I won’t wear as most of the time I’ll be nude lol |

If I'm going on a hiking trip I have to carry clothes for all eventualities so I rarely wear it all but it's a just in case scenario.
I was away a few weeks ago and could easily have taken half of what I used but it's all weather dependent and I won't take a risk.
Some places have a laundry but it's usually somewhere I've never been before and I've no way of knowing what facilities are accessible until I get there.

I like having options especially for footwear, and being fat my clothes take up more room, so I like having a carry on bag  but if it's literally an overnight somewhere I'll try and take hand luggage only. Though airlines are taking the piss these days with handluggage rules. |

"Are you a hand luggage only person or are you like me and take several things you bring back unworn?"
Big suitcase all the way.
Get to the airport check bag in relax non of this "is my bag too big for the overhead " nonsense.
Take everything you need ,not just the essentials you've just spent a fortune ona holiday now your going to wear the same clothes all week.
Nope,fresh and clean every night plus I'm a sweater so need loads of shirts and t-shirt.

1 pair of socks turn inside out next day = 2 days per pair .. packed amount 5.
undies fresh pair a day call it 7
Tee shirts and shorts can be folded then rolled .. x 7 take up little space. don't crease up
shirts fold roll x3 same principal as above
light trousers chino ish type material x 2 fold roll
enough room for small wash shave kit and my bits n bobs.
All fits in a small grip / cabin case. |

I've gone from being dangerously close to the 23kg limit in a huge suitcase to hand luggage only - tho it has taken years to get it right. I can go away for three weeks with Ryanair's brutal free allowance. The hardest thing is the toiletries! HC |
