We’re planning to ride the Eurostar to London from Paris one day on our upcoming trip. The plan is to get there early afternoon, snoop about, eat Indian food til we explode, stay in a hotel then get up the next day and do one of those hop on/hop off tours until it is time to get back to Paris via St. Pancras station.
Being a packing nerd, I was up for this challenge (I hate carrying a lot of stuff and we’ll need to carry everything with us after we check out of the hotel that morning.)
I’ll be carrying my Pacsafe Slingsafe 300 GII and my pouch purse
I so adore this bag. Super comfy to carry, RFID pocket, slash resistant straps and securable zippers. Peace of mind in backpack form. Pretty much when I travel I have a pouch purse for easy storage of coins and phone and then a backpack for the day’s needs. These two together are THE BUSINESS I tell you…
Here’s what I have in my bag:
1. umbrella
2. In my dopp kit:
- Shampoo bar *
- soap *
- lotion (SPF 15)
- travel sonic toothbrush
- toothpowder
- lip balm
- Deodorant
- spork
*I found some teeny tiny soap containers at Daiso that hold a Ligett’s travel shampoo bar and my travel sized Dove bar. Moreover, they fit in the travel zip pouch from Ligett’s that you can get perfectly.
3. clothes in zip pouch (just the middle sized one):
- ex officio undies
- socks
- jammies
- merino shirt**
**depending on how warm it is, I might just take one merino shirt. They don’t smell generally and if I’m not sweating I probably will be ok. Though I’m a messy Indian food eater, I might need to take another one anyway 😉
4. Travel electronics:
- Phone/tablet
- travel snoot machine
- travel snoot tube
- USB charger and ends for UK
All told it weighs about 5 or 6 pounds, (more with a water bottle in there). I’m ready for London!
