The other day I pulled out everything I needed to bring with me to France. I have a packing list and I only packed those things. I made a video and maybe you'd like to see it. This is just my clothes. Eric's clothes are also going in this same carry-on.

I know I said I wanted to bring my 16" carry-on on this trip, but I forgot that we need pants and extra shoes for this trip, so I had to upgrade to my 20" bag. Even so, I found that I couldn't close it fully, and I ended up leaving behind my sweater and some pajama pants. I will either wear bike shorts or the leggings I'm wearing on the plane to bed, and I will layer tops if it's colder that I expect. We are only bringing rain coats on this trip, but they are thick, so can be worn as a regular coat, too.
I do have a cardigan I'm wearing on the plane, which you can see at the end, and a packable tote (similar to this one) for any purchases I make, so if one of those is a sweater or sweatshirt, I have room to bring it home. Could I have brought a bigger bag or a second carry-on, since there are two of us? Yes, but 1) we're renting the smallest car, 2) it's easier to keep track of less stuff, and 3) we won't need to check a bag on the way home if we buy stuff. I feel good about my choices and know I have everything I need for the weather, even if it pours buckets or is super chilly.
What are some things you always take when you travel?
