When you are packing for a trip and trying to decide what to bring, consider what you will really need right away, and what you could buy at your destination.
For instance, if you are taking a three week vacation to England, you may be tempted to pack shampoo and other essentials in your checked luggage. My suggestion is not to bother, because you can buy shampoo and other necessities in England for roughly the same price you'd pay at home (depending on the exchange rate, of course). Chances are, you'd probably leave that unfinished bottle of shampoo behind anyway when you return to the States, so what's the point of lugging it across the ocean to begin with?
By not packing every little thing you think you'll need, you can save yourself a lot of luggage space, as well as the hassle of carrying the extra weight around.
