Going to New York has been on the top of my husband’s bucket list for a long time. Our trips have fit in nicely like a puzzle for the next year and a half and unfortunately, left no room for NYC. Since we’re teachers, we have some long breaks. Our only unscheduled break was Christmas break. This break usually stays unplanned because the weather is too bad for road trips and trips to tropical places are expensive for break. It ends up that it’s cheap to fly to NYC on Christmas Day. So we booked tickets to spend 10 days in NYC in the winter. This is a travel heavy year (YAY) and we’re working on saving for our first house so we’re employing all of our money saving travel techniques (read our blog on ways we save money so we can travel more). This money saving means not only that we’re going in the winter where all the clothes are bulkier but we’re only bringing carry ons. It’s $120 for us both to check bags and that money adds up if you keep spending money you don’t have to. It doesn't look big in the overall budget but those expenses sneak up on you. Here’s how I packed for ten days in a personal item and carry-on: Outfits Day-by-Day Here's how my outfits turned out! As I've said before and will say a million more times, I'm not big on fashion. So this is really inspiration for the person just trying to be comfy and get the job done.
Personal Item:
I decided on bringing my camera bag for my personal item. I could easily fill the whole thing with only camera gear but I need all the space I can get. Like most camera bags, mine has compartments with foam dividers that are velcro for customization. I shuffled my barriers around to fit my needs. They make for great bags for these kinds of things.
