Vent: I think the 'pack only a carry-on' rule is overrated for long trips
Last month in Lisbon, I saved $75 on a checked bag fee by cramming everything into a backpack, but I spent over $100 buying toiletries and a proper jacket I didn't pack. The stress of washing clothes in a tiny sink every other night ruined the relaxed vibe I wanted. Has anyone else found that paying for a checked bag on a 10+ day trip is actually worth it for your sanity?

Totally agree, that math never works out. Forgetting one decent jacket or pair of shoes on a longer trip can wipe out any bag fee savings instantly. The real cost is the vacation time wasted hunting for a pharmacy or a store instead of just enjoying the place.

But what if you just pack the jacket and shoes?
