How to Pack Light for a Week in the Caribbean

OK, it's getting pretty full in there, but still plenty of room to stick in some socks and underwear, which are great for filling in small spaces around the bigger items.

Wearing a belt is just one more hassle when you pass through airport security, so I usually pack mine by wending it around the inside rim of the suitcase after all of my clothes are packed.
