    The dark windowless rooms are often more quiet and one can sleep sounder. If you get bumped or buy a room with a window get the north side of the ship. The south side will be extremely hot. 🔥 😮 Even with the curtains closed a/c won't be able to keep up. If you use a particular cruise line look at buying their stock. Normally it's 100 shares and up. Share holders get special perks and freebies etc. Ie. Carnival cruises stock price (at the time of writing this is: around $15.08 so for $1500+- you can get perks that after a few uses will cover the cost of the stocks. Also look to see if they offer a travel club or points program. Carnival has the VIFP club $250 discount on next cruise and points earned on every day of cruises. They have a points credit card but you'll have to see if it's worth it compared to chase's cards etc. But it normally comes with a sign up bonus of 25k+- points. You can qualify for then use then close out the card a few months later. They also might have a referral program. 😊 Ok the Moose juice just is wrong...😅😵‍💫😳

    The second half with Rakuten was a game changer. Ive heard about it but then forgot it until now. For House sitters try to build up some reviews/references with friends by watching their homes. Yes there's some cost for that. The video call option is a favorite for the home owners when narrowing down their candidates. So might with your saving hacks be very worth it to upgrade to the next level. Great premise for the channel. Btw. I like how you incorporate value with the links you provide. Have you seen Ruri Ohama's channel? Great use of storytelling and her seemless integration with the products she uses is next level.

      Good question! I've followed a lot of people in the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) community for several years and many of them would reference that they use Personal Capital / Empower to track their finances. Although I was very skeptical to link my accounts, I ended up doing it in 2018. To my knowledge, there have not been any major data breaches or anything like that and I've been happy with the product. Here are some resources that you can cross reference from some personal finance / FIRE bloggers: www.financialsamurai.com/is-personal-capital-safe-to-use/ www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/10/11/personal-capital-the-investors-version-of-mint/ jlcollinsnh.com/2018/06/22/tracking-your-holdings/ www.getrichslowly.org/personal-capital/ www.playingwithfire.co/resources

    Re requested tips: Laundry in bath: Get in and stomp on yr clothes as if you're grape stomping at a vineyard. Best done SOBER so you don't slip. Be careful. Small items? Use plastic jar w/screw on lid. Costco "Mixed Nut" container or a large Mayo container are perfect. Stuff socks n' other items in it when packing to save space. Put an agitator in w /soap n' water. I use one that came w/ shaker/blender bottle. Shake container vigorously. Soak for a while if there's heavy dirt then shake again. It's like a tiny washing machine! For extra hanging space when not travelling : Install a second shower curtain pole above yr bath. Put yr laundry on hangers and hang them there. ps: Yr laundry strips are cool.

    I've done a 5, 11, and 14 night reposition cruise, with a 13 night Vancouver to Japan coming up. You'll get an older crowd on any longer cruise, especially reposition. There may be a few status snobs on board, and some 7 day Carnival fans don't enjoy 14 night as much (especially halfway through). They added 30 min enrichment talks to our Journey cruise, and a retro 80's day. You don't really need a window or veranda, but they do make sense in Alaska, Chile, Norway, etc. Now that we're starting to head out international, Oneworld Alliance is something I'm glad to jump into as former Delta loyalists.

      You overlooked a couple details. Mainly that the base fare is per person, double occupancy. The taxes and fees add $202.83 per person, and the daily gratuity fee adds another $224 per person. So that $489 fare is really $1404.83 for one person or $1831.66 for two people. Also that price is for a "guaranteed" inside cabin. The scare quotes are intentional as cruise lines often overbook, and without a cabin number, you might arrive at the pier to discover they don't have a cabin for you. So pay a bit more to get a cabin number assigned when you book. Another risk is that you'll get a cabin underneath a nightclub or a pool and find it very noisy at all hours. Do you want a porthole? That costs more. A picture window,? More still. A balcony? You get the idea. Also consider that over the course of 14 days, 8 of which will be at sea, you may find yourself looking for something to do. While there are many free activities such as sunbathing, swimming, a gym, trivia games, movies, music, and live entertainment in the theater, as well as a free buffet and some sit down restaurants; there's a lot of things which cost extra, most notably the casino, spa, classes, shore excursions, shopping, premium restaurants, alcoholic beverages, specialty coffees, and sodas to name a few. It is possible to not spend an extra dime while onboard, but on average, cruisers tend to spend as much onboard as they paid for the cruise in the first place. Cruising does have its advantages for vacationing such as only having to unpack once while visiting several places, and having the basics all included in the price. As a means of traveling from point A to point B though, you'll probably find a better rate on a first or business class plane ticket.

Also a couple binder clips: pulls curtains together that last inch to keep light out makes backpack into a compression bag kind of to keep stuff distributed and not a pile at the bottom. I move 1 binder clip from the inside of my bag to the outside each time I take a cord out to “keep score” that I put all of them back in and didn’t leave one behind the bed because that was were the stupid outlet was. Learn how to fold a basket from a piece of paper, I empty my pockets into that at night to not lose things. I’m not someone who normally eats a meal replacement bar, but I keep one in my bag and have been so glad I had it when flights changed and concession stands were closed.

      Admittedly, LAX is not the best airport to walk to however in this example, it would be a 0.7 mile walk to a close hotel. I understand your sentiment though! I exclusively travel with a carry-on backpack which makes it significantly easier than rolling a bag on the sidewalks.

    Most airlines even today still allow you to bring a carry-on with you (with a few exceptions) at no extra charge ( by carry-on I mean a bag that can go in the overhead bin). Only a few limit you to just a "personal item" (backpack) before you pay fees. Most people I think can probably pack enough for 1 week into a traditional carry-on bag if they are willing to do atleast one load of laundry during their trip. Second, many people may just opt to pay the bag fee for a traditional carry-on as $35 or even $50 each way may be seen as worth it, considering it might take you 90 minutes to 2 hours to do a load of laundry at a facility and that time could be spent doing something else OR where they are going maybe doesn't have free laundry and they must go somewhere and pay a few dollars, plus the time, when they could have either just bought a traditional carry-on for a small fee or in many cases, no additional charge and avoid the laundry thing alltogether. If I was going away for maybe 3 days and I could rewear my pants for all 3 days then I might be inclined to skip the traditional carry-on as I can easily pack a shirt, underwear and socks for 3 days into a backpack, along with some other things, maybe even a spare pare of pants, but if it's more than 3 days them I'm just going to probably bring a regular carry-on bag even if it means paying $30 extra (mainly for convenience) because I'm convinced that trying to avoid paying thre small fees doesn't really pan out in the end, and what you save in the fee, you waste in time spent doing something you could have avoided. Now if you're maybe going hiking for a week, then that's different because you don't want to be lugging around a rolling carry-on bag, but for most trips for most people, it's worth it to pay the small fee or in many cases, there is no additional charge for a traditional carry-on bag that goes in the overhead bin, and if anything, you can bring both (a personal item -- backpack -- and a regular carry-on bag). If I do that, I could easily do a 4-5 day trip probably without the need for a checked bag, which is my ultimate goal--carry-on I can deal with).

      Yes, the outfit I wear on travel days is one less outfit to pack! My travel wardrobe is typically the same thing I wear every other day so it makes it easy. Great idea about actually packing the items and weighing them... maybe a future video!

    A few things here, most people aren't going to waste time while they're on vacation doing laundry when they could just bring a little bigger bag and enough clothes. If you're staying for a few weeks or a month maybe you can do laundry somewhere but most people that are just traveling for a week... No, also they're going to not bring these teeny little bottles of things that need to be refilled at the hotel with some kind of shampoo or cleaner that they don't normally use, people have sensitive skin and people have products that they're used to... Also people probably don't want to wear the same clothes everyday no matter where whether the place that they eat out at is nice or if it's just a casual place... You're not going to wear the same shoes the whole time, particularly if you go to like to a beach area or some mountainous area where you would need some hiking boots, you don't want to wear the hiking boots around the hotel or wherever you're staying, you want to get more comfortable. One bag travel is possible for a short trips and places where you can make all of these trade-offs, just a casual trip you're not going to have to look nice for any reason, it's not cold or hot and you're not going to the beach so you can just wear your tennis shoes...

      Thanks for your perspective! My take on travel is admittedly abnormal and I would agree that your perspective is definitely more reasonable for the majority of travelers. Minimalistic, one-bag travel isn't for everyone, but it offers freedom and convenience for some. I love seeing different packing approaches, even if they differ from mine. It sparks ideas and helps me refine my own packing strategies for future trips. Happy travels!

    Nice and simple. Just a couple things I noticed you were missing I think would be essential are a rain jacket, hat, hoodie/sweater and flip flops. Unless you will be wearing

      100% I totally forgot to add my jacket and sandals in the video! 😭 In terms of jackets, I typically wear a lightweight The North Face jacket. It's high quality and can pass for business casual, especially if it's black. Even though it's not technically a rain jacket or "waterproof", I find that these jackets do a pretty good job at wicking away moisture. I'll strap it to the stretchy cords on my backpack while not wearing it. In case of huge downpours, I might consider buying a cheap umbrellas or disposable plastic poncho in my destination. North Face Jacket: amzn.to/3SMYly4 For sandals, I like minimalistic lightweight sandals that you can hike in if necessary. A brand called Luna makes some minimalistic hiking sandals that have great reviews. I normally like wearing athletic shoes but I like putting a pair of sandals like this at the bottom of my bag because they don't take up much room. A RUclips channel I enjoy is One Pack Wanderers and they make a great video of hiking in Japan in Luna sandals: ruclips.net/video/LJmmvYqmWeo/видео.html Luna Sandals: amzn.to/3ImFu8s

    *What are the carry-on size limits?* Carry-on bag size and weigh limits vary by airline. Some budget airlines are really stingy (Frontier, Ryanair, etc.) while others are more lenient. - Max carry-on size limits vary, but a general guideline is somewhere around 22 inches X 14 inches X 9 inches (56cm X 36cm X 23cm) - Max carry-on weigh limits vary anywhere from 10 to 35 pounds (22 to 15.9 kg) *What about Personal Items?* Typically you are usually entitled to one personal item in addition to your carry-on bag. The personal item must be able to fit under the seat in front of you. This includes things like a laptop bag, purse, etc. Larger bags, including suitcases that fit in the overhead bin compartment, are labeled as a carry-on item. My backpack would be considered a personal item in most cases! Check the carry-on and personal item limits for the airline you will be flying with. If you have multiple flights with different airlines on a single trip, be mindful of the airline with the most strict restrictions. *What if my bag is bigger than the one in this video?* You can absolutely use a bigger bag than the one I show in this video (mine is 28 Liters) but the most important thing is to pass the "eye test". If you bag looks large and heavy, the airline workers might ask to weigh it or measure it. Look relaxed and make it seem like your bag is light on your shoulders, even if it isn't! If you are worried airline workers might ask to weigh it or measure your bag, face them directly while checking in and boarding so you hide your bag and they can't see the side profile. You can also put heavy items into your pockets to avoid weigh restrictions. Hope this is helpful! Cheers!

      Carry on side limits very from airline to airline so you should check with the airline you have booked with and if you have a change of flight which is also a change of airlines like I fly to New York on JetBlue and then fly to Europe on a European airline, they have different standards so you must comply with both. Smaller is always better. There are ways to get around that buy something simple in the airport shop and then load that thing up with a bunch of crap from home that may be you tied around your waist, like sweatshirts and bulky things like that. The airlines let you bring on any bag where you bought stuff in the airport, this is in addition to your regular bags.

      True! Buying your souvenirs in the airport right before you leave is a way to get around baggage limits if your bags are full before you get to the airport. Most every airport has really nice souvenir shops that you can buy nice things, although with that convenience it might at a slightly higher premium.
