Thumbs up on Corsi’s post. Agree with all the bag stuff. I always have a hard time going with a single pair of shoes for longer trips but thinking about it, on many trips it wouldn’t have been an issue. I like having another option and my packed pair compress well. I don’t travel with a laptop so that saves space. For a water bottle, one that compresses flat is great. You won’t want to lug that giant Stanley bladder buster everywhere.
Another tip is to pack everything you want to take on your trip and then take the train downtown and walk around before going home or take a good long walk around your neighbourhood. Also lift your bag above your head a few times. Some airports and metro stops are huge and have multiple stairs to go up and down. Chances are you aren’t staying in one location and will need to sheep your bag around a bunch. A heavy uncomfortable bag can really suck, better to find this out at home before you go.
