Every holiday seems to present a new packing challenge, in this case seven formal nights and weather ranging from tropical to 'Spring' in the UK.

Biggest tip I've learnt to date is to use packing cubes to organise and separate everything in my checked in luggage and be ready to hit the ground running.

Maria takes it even further by having whole outfits ready to go using double-sided cubes for casual and swimwear.

All very logical in theory ....
