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):

For organization:

• BaubleBar ‘Hello Gorgeous’ pouch
• Flight 001 bag set
• To Go bottles and jars
• Go Clean laundry bag set
• Colorful passport holder
• Pinch Provisions ‘Skinny’ mergency kit

For sustenance:

• Trail mix (portion controlled in ziplock bags, as I have no self-control)
• Vitamin C packets, B12 and fish oil supplements
• Larabars (they’re just fruit and nuts)
• Baby carrots, string cheese, an apple (things that don’t squish or spoil easily)

For entertainment:

• DVF travel adapter
• Macbook Air (with a protective Speck laptop case)
• iPad (to catch up on digital mag subscriptions and Netflix queue)
• Mophie charger and iPhone juice pack
