    Time and weight are not proportional. After a certain point, you have packed enough to last fr ever, at least until stuff wears out.

      With that little clobber, Customs on the way out will instantly clock you as a drug smuggler and put you on some "full body search on return" list.

        Maldives is a good test of your packing skills. You turn up for the plane in shirt/T-shirt, shorts and sandals/flip-flops. You carry in a small plastic bag the following:

        Swimming costume


        That's it.

          Not if you're going diving I took half of my dive kit (admittedly we were boat-only transfer...I'd imagine if you were using Kenn Borek they'd have told me to do one!).

              I think Menelaus was suggesting there are ways to take one's Rabbit on holiday that do not increase the hand luggage weight...

              But if you're carrying the spare batteries for her put them inside a condom first to prevent getting a small shock.
