Book Description

March 2, 2009
Dress Well. Travel Light. Is that the traveling style you would love to have? With the Simple Packing travel planning kit, it is much easier than you think. Author and road warrior, Karen Montgomery helps you organize your thoughts in this easy-to-use travel planning kit so you don't take your ENTIRE closet on your next trip. How many bags did you take on your last trip? Three? Four? Five??? Are you read to get away from schlepping heavy bags around to taking just one sleek set? The simple packing method follows three easy steps to help you select the perfect combination of clothes and accessories. In fact, the kit will help you select the minimum number of clothes that will give you the maximum number of combinations. You will feel confident that the contents of your suitcase can handle any dressing situation thrown your way while on your trip. One glance at your planner will quickly remind you that you have what it takes! The simple packing kit consists of a small notebook binder, a simple packing guide booklet, location and activity cards and wardrobe cards. The cards fit into handy plastic sleeves to produce a tidy package of what you plan to wear each day on your trip. There are three simple steps to dressing well and traveling light. First, build the framework (where are you going and what will you be doing; what is the weather). Next, create a travel wardrobe by choosing 10-12 basic pieces, add the right accessories and fall in love with the combinations. Finally, assemble your planner by filling out the location and wardrobe cards and then smile knowing you have packed well! Simple Packing a Travel Planning Kit So You Don't Pack Your ENTIRE Closet makes a great gift. Husbands, are you tired of schlepping all of those bags around on your vacation?

5.0 out of 5 stars Calm & confident, April 22, 2009
This review is from: Simple Packing - A Travel Planning Kit So You Don't Pack Your Entire Closet (Ring-bound)
This is a brilliant system to enable you to calmly & confidently pack for travel. You zero in on your needs & filter out the "what-if" clutter that can balloon your luggage, while you can still be happy that you'll look great & have fun. De-stress & lighten up- I love it! I travel for fun now and hauling a 60-lb suitcase over cobblestones is not fun!

5.0 out of 5 stars Avoid airline checked baggage fees with this easy to follow guide on packing light while looking great!, April 25, 2009
This review is from: Simple Packing - A Travel Planning Kit So You Don't Pack Your Entire Closet (Ring-bound)
With airlines now charging for every bag you check this guide, designed to take the stress and bulk out of packing is the perfect resource to save you money and time with a simple step by step approach to minimizing what goes in the suitcase and what stays home. As a chronic over packer, I knew I needed help packing smarter for a 2 week European vacation. Simple Packing made all the difference in how I approached packing for the trip, the stress was gone, the multiple big bags were gone and I spent 2 weeks in Europe Looking Great with one easy to tote suitcase...my husband was amazed and thrilled to not be hauling multiple bags through the streets of Europe! Simple Packing is a must have for any traveler and makes a wonderful gift.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete Advice, June 9, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Simple Packing - A Travel Planning Kit So You Don't Pack Your Entire Closet (Ring-bound)
I am a frequent business traveler and was intrigued by the idea of this packing system, since I always seem to bring a few more items than I need. There was one major omission--absolutely no discussion of shoes! Shoes are what take up the most space and where you tend to need variety. Also, the accompanying booklet needed one or two pages with the ten recommended articles laid out in an orderly fashion so you could see exactly what she brought on this theoretical trip. "How to Pack" is a much more useful book. This might be useful as an addition to that, and also as a way to review post-trip what worked and what didn't.
