It’s here, you guys… My four-week trip to Asia! In fact, as you read this, it’s very likely that I’m blissfully Xanax’ed out somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean.
Juuust kidding.
Although packing up a month of my life was exceptionally challenging (I hate playing shoe favorites), you’re going to be proud of me: I am not checking a bag.
Yes, you read that right.
I recently touched on how I packed for my trip to Southeast Asia — but today, it’s all about the perfect carry-on. Before I get into the details, though, here’s a bit more on my travel itinerary, as some of you have requested:
For the first leg of our journey, we’re in Japan, where it’s winter. After a week, it’s off to Hong Kong, which is supposed to be in the mid-50’s. The bulk of our trip is spent in Thailand (and on a boat), where it’s hot and h-u-m-i-d.
My carry-on suitcase is a seasonal mess of separates, but it works. It will work.
Anyway, packing the perfect carry-on to get through that 13-hour flight.
I was recently introduce to Lo & Sons by my frequent flier friend, Hitha. The brand was kind enough to let me try out a bag for my trip, and I can tell you right now: The verdict is in and I’m obsessed.
Here’s what I’m bringing with me on my 18-hour flight (in addition to #Xanax):

- BaubleBar ‘Hello Gorgeous’ pouch
- Flight 001 bag set
- To Go bottles and jars
- Go Clean laundry bag set

- Vitamin C packets, B12 and fish oil supplements

For entertainment:
