That's it. I can carry a week's work of clothes in a roller. A week's clothes is enough for any trip. I'll pay hotel laundry fees once a week, no problem.

Typical packing is 5 pants (slacks take so much less space than jeans),
5 dress shirts, 6 undershirts, 2-3 polos (depending on climate/humidity),
7 sets of undies/socks, two pairs of shoes (one worn, one packed),
one blazer/coat packed and one worn (along with topcoat in winter),
one pair of trunks, one t-shirt, slippers.

I can live for a six months out of that suitcase.
No toiletries (razor, deodorant, favorite shampoo, etc.)
No exercise equipment (running shoes, shorts, etc.)
No personal or hobby (Book, musical instrument, art supplies, etc.)
No medical (first aid, cough medicine, etc.)

The list could go on.

What you described is sufficient to get up in the morning, go to work, go home and sit in front of the TV. For 6 months? Thanks, but no thanks.
