Yesterday we publicly celebrated some of the hard work we’ve put into Gadling over the past
year and gave ourselves a fine pat on the back for making Frommers
list of best travel blogs. Erik did the honors of posting the stellar news, which you can
click here to read if you missed it by chance. There were
several others on the list that I read often, but there was only one I think I hadn’t been across in all my travel
searches. One Bag.
If you happen to be notorious for over-packing your luggage you’ll certainly want to check out One Bag. I’ve never
seen a site as exhaustive as this one on packing light. It is an art and a science, which Doug Dyment has managed
to explain magnificently. My favorite bit of information which I’ve never used in terms of packing
light is bundle wrapping. I’ve never used the technique or knew
how-to, but I’m filing it away for later use. Once you learn the craft you’ll see all the freedoms and joys
associated with your small load and never return to over-sized check-in luggage. Tips range from what to take, the
right way to fold your clothing, and which bag is best suited for your needs. Believe me, it covers
ever-y-thing!
So this is my toast and big congrats to One Bag and all the other great blogs that made the list.
