Last night, I stayed up with my mother until midnight packing everything. I feel as though our packing strategies were just a little too convoluted: I took one (1) large dufflebag, in which we stuffed two pairs (total 4) of panniers; in two (2) of the panniers, we put one waterproof camping bag (total of 2), in which we stuff all our clothes--some of which were, themselves, compressed into ziplock bags. Only a Matryoshka doll manufacturer could've packaged it better.
