Travelers Ashleigh and Christopher dive into the benefits of traveling with only a carry-on bag and share tips for packing light. They discuss clever packing strategies, minimizing liquids, and how doing laundry on the can help get the most out of a small bag. The hosts also spotlight their recent trip to San Francisco, where they rode cable cars, ate Mission-style burritos, and stayed at the tech-forward Citizen M hotel.
Packing Light- Checking bags takes more time at the airport and makes transportation like trains more difficult.
- Pack clothes that can be mixed and matched, and plan to do laundry on your trip.
- Use packing cubes, roll clothes tightly, and wear bulky shoes and coats on travel days.
- Look for travel-specific and quick-drying clothes. Shoes are often the hardest to pack lightly.
- Find dry versions of toiletries when possible.
- Use TSA-approved bottles and tubes to consolidate liquids.
- Buy large quantities of toiletries like sunscreen once you arrive.
- Rode the cable cars and walked along Fisherman's Wharf.
- Visited the aquarium and got ice cream at Ghirardelli Square.
- Took a boat tour around the Golden Gate Bridge.
- Explored the Mission District and historic Mission San Francisco de Asís.
- Stayed at the modern, tech-focused Citizen M hotel.
The hosts try Ooba, an experimental "brut red" wine from Modales winery in Michigan's small Fenville AVA. Made from native grapes, it has funky, natural flavors that would pair well with club soda in a spritzer.
