Did you just board the plane with a pack of gum and a toothbrush?
Not even that. I bought all my toiletries when I got there.
I forget what all I packed in my carry on backpack, but it wasn't much. Couple pairs of underwear, a couple of t-shirts, a couple of button downs, sweater, rain jacket, hat, couple of books, camera, and a smaller day pack. Think that was about it. This was 1999 before smartphones and tablets so I didn't really have any electronics. Being before 9/11 I also had a little weed in there.

Love the throw it all in a backpack approach....but my back can’t take it anymore, esp not if I want to sleep and walk without pain on vacay. But you’re so right about buying what you need once you’re there. 10 mins in a chain drugstore, anywhere in the world, will get you basic toiletries nearly identical to what you have at home...assuming you’re visiting civilization & not the wilderness.
I embrace tech on a long trip: my two-camera iPhone has better resolution than my digital SLR, so that’s another thing I no longer pack. All my important docs and info are on Google Drive and/or iNotes, so tech keeps me covered there.
That said, I think three pairs of pants is probably my minimum. Clean pair, yesterday’s dirty pair, and the ones you’re wearing.....
