Cubes would be ideal in a rectangular suitcase.jemilyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346405005765603380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366445851228472329.post-34646544163962743622009-03-02T11:27:00.000+11:002009-03-02T11:27:00.000+11:00Hi Jemilyea,Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for recommending it.<BR/><BR/>About packing cubes, it may be that I don't buy any, but instead MAKE some! :-) Interesting to hear that you're not completely sold on them. What didn't work?<BR/><BR/>YvetteYvette Stantonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07819109185978215096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2366445851228472329.post-46041260735396423422009-03-02T10:23:00.000+11:002009-03-02T10:23:00.000+11:00Found your blog today via the Tom Binh luggage sit...Found your blog today via the Tom Binh luggage site. I read all your archives and bookmarked your site! <BR/><BR/>I don't have children yet to travel with, but went on many trips as a child myself (standby flights with an airline employee parent). We only took carry-on luggage and had to carry it by ourselves as soon as we were old enough!<BR/><BR/>I sew too, so enjoy all your sewing related posts. (www.patternreview.com is a great site)<BR/><BR/>Main purpose of my comment: I've been reading for a few years about packing cubes and finally bought some from RickSteves in December (1 large size, 2 mediums/smalls). I've tried the cubes on 4 trips now. I still haven't decided if cubes are the perfect solution or not. I used the smaller size cubes on all the trips and the large only once and had both clothers and underwear in the large size. On the other trips I used the small size to organize small things. Before the cubes, I always used 1-gallon or 2.5 gallon ziplock bags, which worked great.<BR/><BR/>I will look forward to reading about your opinions of the cubes if you eventually buy them.jemilyeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346405005765603380noreply@blogger.com
