My packing tip for you
 

I used to work retail and one of the items that I always used for folding was a clipboard. It makes a nice tight fold. Obviously you may not want to take a clipboard on a transatlantic trip. A magazine works in a pinch. Make sure though you are using a letter sized board not the legal size. <BR>I hope this helps.

Neat idea. Sure beats those folding boards (Sold only on adv. TV, cause no retailer will buy them or stock them)

Is this a tiny bit anal? Can't a person just fold their clothes without a board?

TINY bit anal? I'd say so. Yeah....<BR>" Make sure you're using the letter-sized board..." <BR><BR>I sense Martha Stewart's presence......<BR><BR><BR>

I use a clipboard shaped piece of cardboard to fold my t's, and shirts. Having everything the same size and placed in a zip loc bag makes everything fit nicely and looks great when you take it out. I take it with me. It's a good thing.
