I'm amused that a thread on packing is 6 pages long! We are obviously obsessive travelers. LOL
And I agree on changing for dinner. I don't, but since most of our trips seem to happen in the summer, and we spend all day getting hot and sweaty, I put on tomorrow's clothes for dinner.
I've also slowly acquired "performance wear" clothes for travel, looking for sales, etc, as I go. They tend to be light weight, so easier/lighter for packing, don't wrinkle, dry quickly if I do need to wash (I really try not to on vacation), and overall seem to just wear well, so that if I do need to rewear them, they still look good. I got a pair of pants from Columbia that are magic. I wore them 5 straight days to work and they looked as good on day 5 as day 1. They are my new favorite pants for travel and home. They have a few styles, all the same great fabric.

My next investment is travel underwear. I bought a few to see if I like them. I'm a cotton briefs kind of girl, but if I do need to wash while traveling, they take forever to dry.
