Three cities. Two countries. Fourteen days. No checked baggage. This is how I travel to Europe with only one small bag.
First - understand the most important items require to travel are just passport, mobile phone and wallet with credit card and money. They are the first priority and should not be left behind. Flight ticket? E-ticket or booking confirmation SMS will do.
Second - don’t carry those that will be provided by the hotel. Towel and toiletries. Or kimono from hotel. Or probably items than can be bought at destination country. Like perfume in destination airport’s duty free.
Third - cut the clothes. One pair of multipurpose shoes is more than enough. One short to sleep and to go sight seeing during sunny day. Learn how to wash in the bathtub. I carry only 5 shirts (and a jeans) for 2 weeks. I will still only carry 5 shirts even for 3 weeks. Why? Because with 5 I can wear different shirt during each working day in a week. Then repeat the sequence on the second week. And when the customer I work with starts to realize the pattern on the third week, it would be the right time to go back home.
So in my small bag other than clothes I still can fit my Leica camera, my Dr. Dre’s headphone, two Macbook Air, Linksys AP (to share the hotel Internet connection), Ruby books, my notebook and all the chargers.
And yes, ditch the Macbook Pro and get the Macbook Air instead. My two MBAs are still weighted much less than one MBP.
