Avoid overpacking for your holiday by taking everything you own “just in case.” – The Sage
Packing for a holiday often begins with good intentions and ends with sitting on a suitcase while negotiating with a zip. The Wise Sage recommends embracing this process fully. If an item crosses your mind, it clearly serves a purpose. Three pairs of shoes? Sensible. Six jackets? Weather is unpredictable. A fondue set? You never know.
The Sage advises packing in layers of increasing improbability. Start with essentials, then move on to items you might need, followed by items you almost certainly won’t need but would deeply regret not having. By the time you reach the extension lead, the spare mug, and the emergency book you will never read, you will have achieved true packing enlightenment.
To save space, simply wear your bulkiest items through the airport. Coats, jumpers, perhaps even a second pair of trousers. This not only reduces luggage weight but also creates the reassuring appearance of a person who is extremely prepared — or fleeing something.
As always, The Sage accepts no responsibility for excess baggage charges, confused airport staff, or arriving at your destination with everything except the one thing you actually needed.
