How much can you fit in a carry-on bag? Lucie packs everything for 6 days in Costa Rica and it all fits in one small suitcase.
Transcript
00:00Michael's already packed.
00:02See you in Rica.
00:06We are going to Costa Rica tomorrow, so aren't we just the luckiest humans?
00:10We are spending how many days in Costa Rica?
00:13Six.
00:13Six days in Costa Rica.
00:15Okay, so I have my pink Away suitcase, which is my new favorite suitcase ever.
00:21The cool thing about this bag is that it charges your phone.
00:24So all you have to do is the night before charge the bag,
00:28and then you can plug your phone in just like you're plugging it into the wall.
00:32Here is a view at what I would pack for six days.
00:36I have this cute bikini set from Six Shore Road,
00:39and I'm actually going to bring two options of tops.
00:41So this as well as this.
00:44A new two-piece bikini from Molly J Swimwear.
00:48And this is a thong.
00:51A new black and white bikini from LJ Swimwear.
00:55So cute.
00:56This one is from a company called Teeny Bikini.
01:00It is entirely 100% reversible.
01:04Dun dun.
01:06Cute.
01:07And last but not least, this bright neon orange one-piece bathing suit.
01:12Another one from Molly J Swimwear.
01:15So when I fold up bikinis and bathing suits,
01:18I just fold them and make them really tiny so that they take up the least possible amount of space.
01:35Very efficient.
01:37And I can pile stuff right on top.
01:38I signed my family up for a Katanga fitness retreat,
01:42which means we're not just going on a family trip to Costa Rica,
01:44but we are doing a fitness retreat where we have a workout experience every morning and every night.
01:50Normally when I go on vacation, I would probably bring maybe one or two pairs of leggings and one sports
01:55bra,
01:56and I would just re-wear it however many times I worked out, which probably wouldn't happen.
02:00But because it's a retreat and I have to work out and that's part of the program,
02:05I think I need to bring a lot more workout gear than I normally would for a vacation.
02:09So I've brought a stockpile of my favorite stuff, and I'm going to show you what I'm packing.
02:15A few sports bras in a few different colors just so that I have options based on my mood of
02:21the day.
02:21And now for my leggings, I brought these to pair with the yellow, these to pair with the gray,
02:28and they say, but first, pizza.
02:31And these to pair with the pink.
02:33A nice little matching set.
02:35And speaking of matching sets, this is one of my favorite sports bra and legging sets.
02:41And it was created out of a collaboration with one of my favorite Instagrammers,
02:46Noelle Downing and Beyond Yoga.
02:49One pair of shorts because who knows just how hot it's going to be there.
02:54Is it really bright behind me?
02:56I feel like I'm in heaven.
03:00So shorts, and then of course a few tank tops.
03:04And I'm also going to bring this one, which says, I like weekends a latte.
03:09I got this from a company called Crave the Day.
03:12And last but not least, this pair of comfy shorts just in case I want to chill in shorts.
03:19I don't think I need to explain myself.
03:28I'm a big fan of the roll.
03:31So you see, you fold it and then you roll it.
03:36And this saves so much space when you're packing.
03:39You can just kind of line the bag with little roll-ups of clothing.
03:43It's really efficient.
03:50We're halfway done.
03:52And I still have an entire empty section of the bag.
03:56My family only does carry-ons.
03:58We don't like to check baggage.
04:00So this is a carry-on size bag.
04:02And I'm about to fit all of my clothing for the trip in here.
04:05And this is not hard for me.
04:07I actually once went to Italy for two weeks with just a carry-on size bag.
04:11All right.
04:13We've got the workout clothing.
04:15We've got the bathing suits.
04:16Now it's time to pick out my nighttime and daytime outfits.
04:20We've got them all back here.
04:21This Zara jumpsuit.
04:23It's brand new.
04:24Hi.
04:25Another piece from Zara.
04:27This one is an oversized button-up t-shirt dress that I'm going to wear as a beach cover-up.
04:32And it has books on it.
04:34Look at how cute.
04:36This adorable two-piece set.
04:39Cannot wait.
04:40It's so Costa Rica.
04:41I'm bringing a couple of pairs of tropical pants.
04:44The first is this.
04:46I'm thinking of wearing this just with a tight white t-shirt.
04:49And here's the second pair.
04:51And this I will wear with a cropped black tank.
04:54And here is a cute little romper beach cover-up from Toby.
04:57Besides this cover-up that I'm bringing,
05:01I don't really know which of these outfits are going to be for day and night.
05:04I'm kind of just the type of person who figures it out there on the go.
05:09But I'm mainly banking on the fact that because I have Allie who has a whole second wardrobe,
05:14I do not need to bring six daytime outfits and six nighttime outfits.
05:19We share clothes.
05:20Look at how neat and organized this is.
05:25Such a pro way to pack.
05:28Okay, so on this entire trip, I'm only bringing four pairs of shoes.
05:32These Adidas flip-flops that are going to be my beach and daytime shoes.
05:36These black sandals, which I'm going to wear pretty much every night.
05:40They're the most neutral, so they'll hopefully go with every outfit I've brought.
05:44These Saludos sandals, which are slide-ons and they're red and have pom-poms in all different colors.
05:49And I'll probably wind up wearing these if I ever have an outfit that doesn't have a lot of color
05:53and I can add a pop.
05:54And last but not least, it's a fitness retreat, so I've got sneaks.
05:58There's really going to be no room in your carry-on bag for the sneaks.
06:02So always wear the sneaks on the plane.
06:07I touched my lip with my sneaks.
06:09And then, as for the rest of the shoes, so that you don't dirty your clothes, always flip them upside
06:15down.
06:15And I'm just going to kind of lay them in the baggage.
06:22Quite easy.
06:24Very flat.
06:25We're pretty much ready.
06:26What else do I need?
06:28I've packed my clothes.
06:29I packed my shoes.
06:30I packed underwear and socks.
06:32One of my favorite things about this bag is this extension piece.
06:36And I've used it to zip all of my underwear right in here.
06:40I'm bringing six pairs of socks and I'm also going to wear a pair on the plane.
06:44So that I have one extra pair than the number of days that I'm there.
06:47It's really easy to pack socks.
06:48You basically just got to look for any open spaces and bury the socks in them.
06:58Perhaps the most important item of the mall, the passport.
07:04I have mine here in this silver case.
07:06And I'm going to put it right there so I do not forget it on this journey.
07:14And just like that, I'm packed.
07:16I'm done.
07:18I'm going to leave this suitcase open overnight just in case I need to throw in any extra things in
07:24the morning.
07:25And a note to you guys, I pack all of my toiletries and my computer and my chargers and all
07:30of that stuff in a backpack.
07:32So this is really just the clothing.
07:34And I'm done.
07:35And now I'm ready to go to Costa Rica.
07:37I'm ready to go!
07:37Wooo!
07:38Wooo!
07:40Whoa.
07:43Fully packed and ready to go.
07:46We're going to meet Ally and Robbie to take an Uber to the airport.
07:52Got my bags.
07:54Ready for the sun.
07:56I got my tropical hat on.
07:57It's more of a headband than a hat, but it's 5 a.m. so I forgot.
08:02Alright, bye apartment.
08:04It's morning, but it's dark out.
08:07I've never seen the streets like this,
08:09but Michael insists this is what it looks like
08:11when people go to work.
08:12Oh, at 6 a.m.
08:13At 6 a.m., but this is not what it looks like
08:17when I go to work.
08:20Hey, Rob.
08:32That's not my name.
08:35What?
08:37Put a little of this in your nose.
08:40It's cooking.
08:44Alright, let's have it.
08:48This is supposed to prevent me from getting the foil.
08:52No, thank you.
08:58Guys, I just have to say my nose is burning.
09:00How's it feel, Dad?
09:01Feels like it's on fire.
09:04You will?
09:05I think it feels nice.
09:06Yeah, it's really a tingling sensation.
09:09Let's see why the germs can't get through.
09:11Yeah, the germs can't get through the barrier.
09:13We just boarded the plane, and Ally said,
09:15don't touch anything.
09:16I'm going to wipe it down.
09:18Hang on, guys.
09:19Here she goes.
09:24I'm going to wipe yours down, too, Ally.
09:30Wow, Ally, you're going to be such a good mom.
09:33Thanks.
09:34Wave.
09:34Yeah.
09:35We're going to leave.
09:37Yeah.
09:39Yeah.
09:43We're going to take a break.
09:45We're going to leave.
09:46We're going to be safe.
09:47We're going to leave.
09:48We're going to leave.
09:50Yeah.
09:50Yeah.
09:51I'm all right.
09:52You guys are all right.
