As though it’s bad enough to be gone for just over two weeks, how about over a month? And unlike Roger who is totally content with wearing his “I Buy Japanese Sword T-Shirt” day after day. Yes, he has many of the “SAME” t-shirts, really

As for dealing with the climate change from humid hot in Bangkok to the cold of Anchorage? Layers- Layers and Layers! Remember, same lightweight t-shirt while strolling humid streets of Bangkok can serve as a "Base Layer" during your sightseeing hike in Alaska! Heavy layers to a minimum wearing sweater or fleece as long as your lighter shirt closest to your skin will be a good option. Bring jacket on the plane so as to not take room in your suitcase.
Another saving space option is to rent your formal cruise wear on the ship. I recently posted a separate article on this option.

Think tops to dress up or down.And yes.... Re-wear skirts, pants, shorts, skorts and dresses.
Lastly, you are in luck as the Diamond Princess has laundry facilities and they will also have laundry special sales during our cruise.
