I haven't taken a trip that long in many years. I've gotten good at the smaller trips but the all weather, all event trips require a lot of clothes. Thank God Qantas allow 2 x 70 pound suitcases. Trouble is I need to do a lot of internal travel with them so I need to keep it manageable. Only me to schlep them. Hubby has to stay & work & will only meet me for 2 weeks over Christmas.
I remember when I first did the Aussie round world trip in 92. I had a backpack with a pair of low top doc martens, 2 pairs of levi 501s, a leather motorcycle jacket, rayban wayfarers, 4 baggy t-shirts, waterproof top I made that wasn't waterproof at the seams lol, a polar fleece sweater I made. I bought some high top reeboks & a water proof Walkman when I arrived. I always felt like I never had enough clothes when I stayed in one place long enough to see the same people over & over but I didn't have enough room to carry more. I did buy some black hotpants & bodycon top when I got to London & needed an outfit for clubbing haha & a black wool benneton pencil skirt, white shirt & loafers to wear to work temping at Selfridges.
