another thing when you are packing to come home and you don't think you have enough space remember to remove all the things out of your toiletries bag that you know you have at home, e.g why take home 1/2 a bottle of shampoo when you can give it away to your hotel favourite person. Roll all your clothes up instead of folding, amazing how much more space you get, and you are either going to wash or iron all that lot anyway! Wear what you can, not easy in the heat of Bali. Put your heavier stuff into your carry-on just don't look like your carrying a heavy bag or they will weigh your hand luggage too! Think about customs and put your declarable stuff in your carry-on or into one bag, when you get to customs you know which bag it is in. Throw out or giveaway those tatty knickers, bras and beach towel and do you really need all those clothes that you brought with you now that you've bought all new stuff. If buying Dvd's make sure you get them in the plastic sleeves, you can buy the cases here if you want them or buy the folders for them.
