Minimalist Travel Experiment Number 1


I call myself a minimalist, so let's see if I can actually walk the walk!

The question is:   Can I pack for 10 days in Japan using only a small carry-on, without sacrificing necessities, and without making life so inconvenient as to diminish the quality of the trip?  Let's find out;)

The bag on the left is a typical carry-on bag.   
The bag on the right is my new "micro-carry-on."














Opened to show the clothing compartment.














This is the exploded view showing everything I packed,
including my laptop, snacks, even and umbrella!














The "cheat" is that I'm taking along the other carry-on shown above empty, so I can come back with some things I want from Japan.  

Hopefully I'll be able to post from Japan :)
