The week I packed for a 10 day trip and my bag weighed 22 pounds

It was a work trip to Denver with two different weather forecasts, so I panicked and packed everything. My rolling bag was so heavy I had to lift it sideways onto the train. The whole trip I was just mad at myself for hauling three jackets I never wore. What's your go-to move for cutting weight when you're packing for unpredictable weather?

Twenty-two pounds for ten days is wild. I would have been stuck at the airport paying a fee. My move is to pick one jacket that works in rain and wind, then just wear it on the plane.

Disagree, sandra203, it's just clothes (not brain surgery).

Remember my friend who packed like three jackets for a trip? She totally got hit with that overweight bag fee, lol. @finleythomas is right that it's just clothes, but man, that fee hurts.
