**I put hotel shampoo right into the washing machines or the sink. (At home, I use shampoo toclean car grease, etc. off my habds. Cuts grease like magic so excellent for the road... and free).

**I do NOT take shamppo, conditioner or body lotion. They will always give you extra.

**I take TWO pairs of socks, etc. and rinse one out every night (gets 48 hours to dry).

**I never take denim. Much too heavy and dress pants are more "in" these days anyways..more "Euro". Plus dressing up on plnae gets me more op-upgrades, I believe.

**I take one pair of real lightweight work-out pants. Good for movies(in USA only!), gym, pj's. If they are the type with a liner, I cut the liner out.

**I take 2 T-shirts, white. They go under dress shirts. Then, they go to gym or under black sweater(cashmere.. can be casual or very dressy). Then they are pj's, then they get rinsed out.

**I take one belt. Quality, reversible: brown and black.

**I take one suit jacket that goes with everything and I wear it onto the plane over cashmere sweater, one of the t-shirts pants and dress shoes. This jacket is great with t-shirt slacks and no sweater for hipper dinner look.

**I carry over my arm raincoat or winter coat.

**I pack my sneakers. (They are my heaviest item and they are size 13 so I stuff with everything possible).

**I take 1 tie for each day.

**I wear one pr slacks on the plane and pack the other. Poly blends or wool blends that get the wrinkles out easy.

**I take pre-laundered, starched and FOLDED shirts. The fold lines look professional if they don't come out. When I get to my hotel I hang the shirt for the next day in the shower and steam it.

**With all the room I save I usually take one colored (or black) t-shirt for extra fun. Woohoo!
I am the king of packing in my organization.
