On paper planning for seven weeks of travel with weather ranging from tropical to cold, and dress codes including casual, smart casual and formal has been a challenge but it seems straightforward.

I've coordinated colours, made sure that everything I pack will be worn more than once, and thanks to my packing cells it's all sorted and ready to go.

In reality my biggest obstacle is the 25 kilo weight limit. Looks okay but will it close without force and how much will it weigh?

Bring back the luggage trunk I say!
