This time round, I finished packing my luggage for Perth in less than half an hour!
Basically, I was too lazy and unenthusiastic to think much so I kinda followed Bear's guidelines!
He said something like 5 tops and yada-yada so I just followed!
Anyways, this trip wasn't pre-planned so even though it's Autumn, I only have Summer clothes with me and one Winter jacket.
I know I'm not appropriately dressed but I'm not going to buy more clothes now.
I think if one's travelling to a developed or developing country, one needn't worry too much about basic toiletries. I tend to like to prepare travel-sized toiletries instead of bringing along the entire tube / bottle.
What's really necessary would be the Passport, Spending Money in the country's currency, and the Visa / Mastercard.
If the country of destination is a good place for shopping, the less you pack, the better!
