I am also an experienced packer, well, I should be by now. When I first went to New Zealand I took less than 15kgs of luggage and some of that was Xmas pressies, I had packed clothes for different climates cold and wet (NZ), warm and windy (Hong Kong) & boiling hot (Bangkok).
My record is 7.5kgs for a week in Menorca, funnily enough, my luggage usually weighs less than Sparky's...
