I carry a roll-on bag and the biggest purse I can find. Tim carries the camera bag and the rest of my stuff in another roll-on bag.

We travel fast, hard, and dirty. We haven't checked a bag in a long long time. We wear underwear, let it air out until it comes back into rotation, then turn it inside out and wear it again. Throw it away after that, don't bring it home, to make room in the bag for souvenirs. Nothing is dirty until you've worn it twice, or thrice if you are just passing through and don't expect to be recognized or remembered. Wear sneakers and pack sandals so that they don't take up much room. Head and Shoulders Shampoo can substitute as shower gel, but not vice versa, because gel makes your hair sticky. Pack a comb, not a brush. Blue jeans take up more space than slacks.

We have been travelling like this for quite a while now, and somehow survived without bringing along the whole house and kitchen sink. It's wonderfully liberating to get off the plane and not have to play baggage roulette hoping yours arrived when you did.
