You've considered listing "packing" as a skill on your resume.
Pick of the WeekI can't even run errands without taking along a bottle of water. So I love this Go Caddy Water Bottle Holder that is perfect for hiking, walks on the beach, bike rides or just taking my dog for a stroll around the neighborhood. And I believe I've found a perfect replacement for my small gym bag, plus ensuring that I'll never leave my water bottle behind. Here's the best part - it has pockets in it so I can slip in keys, credit card, cell phone and even a camera. It folds flat to fit in your suitcase for traveling too. Purchase online for $19.99 at http://www.bvtproducts.com/ or check the website for store locations near you.
Here's what I love about planning a trip through REI Adventures - you can select how you want to travel by several categories, including by activity. So if you're looking for a kayaking trip in Europe, a cycling trip in Asia or a backpacking trip in Utah, you can find it here. Trips are also broken down by destination and ways to travel, like family adventures or weekend getaways. And after you book that trip it's easy to shop for all the gear and outfits you need, right on the site. http://www.rei.com/adventures
