Well girls, I have just finish packing for my annual 8 day pilgrimage to sharm e lsheikh Egypt :jump013: . A couple of weeks ago I brought a product from QVC in the Uk called pack-mate. Basically it's a bag with a one way valve on it. You put your things inside, roll it up, the air comes out and forms a vaccuum, squashing everything flat and eliminating extra weight by the air contained within what ever it is you're packing. Now I only have a 20 kilo weight allowance, my dive gear plus bag weighs 16 kilos so I only have 4 kilos to cram in my clothes ( 9 changes thereof) underwear ( 10 changes thereof!) shoes (3 pairs thereof and thats being VERY strict with myself!), swimwear (2 changes thereof) not to mention my makeup bag, wash bag, etc etc.
Well wonders of wonders I have got ALL my clothes and my wetsuit packed as flat as a pancake, bc, fins bag and shoes in my bag, with tons of room to spare and 1 kilo left over to get all the gifts and goodies in for my family and friends!
So, I must commend this wonderful product to all the unfortunate ladies who have to travel thousands of miles, like I, to get close to any decent diving. If you want more details here's the product with the web details below. I guess GVC in the USA will have them too. Happy packing!
