With that in mind, here are five questions about packing to go on a trip.
1) Some fold, some roll and some simply fling into the bag. What's your technique for packing clothes?
Usually fold and sometimes fling into the bag
2) The tight regulations about carrying liquids on planes makes packing complicated. What might we find in your quart-size bag? Ever lose a liquid that was too big?
I haven't had to surrender liquids, but have twice had scissors in my carry-on and had to surrender them My zip-lock bag usually contains the daily essentials: cleanser or face-wipes, moisturiser, lipstick, fragrance, toothpaste and brush.
3) What's something you can't imagine leaving at home?
I have left something important at home on many many trips - and have arrived with no hairbrush/ underwear/ pyjamas etc etc. There was the terrible day we arrived at airport with no passports. Better question for me is something I cannot imagine traveling without. Earrings. And to be honest I don't think I have ever traveled without them.
4) Do you have a bag with wheels?
Yes
5) What's your favorite reading material for a non-driving trip (plane, train, bus, ship)?
Great novels. Barbara Kingsolver's The Bean Trees was so brilliant on the most recent transPacific flight as it was set where we had been in Oklahoma and Arizona. Currently my daily commute is being enlightened by an historical account of the Underground Railway: Bound for Canaan Very very interesting.

Love your #3: Me too--ended up without shampoo or toothpaste or underwear.
Once my first husband and I were traveling in Scotland and I thought it was supposed to be cold even in June. It was 94. I bought a dress in one of their shops and it still makes me smile.
I had to do the reverse and buy warmer clothes once on a trip when I misunderstood the weather in a vacay spot.
Earrings! Of course! And Bean Trees is a very good book to read whilst traveling - I read it on a Grayhound bus the one time I traveled while taking Dramamine!
I've gotten away with little knitting scissors, but I sort of bury them in the yarn...
I enjoy these little glimpses into the person who is you ... I guess I had never imagined the earrings and may take on some of your reading recommendations.
