Packed At least I think I am... Actually, packing is just a long series of tough choices.  First you have to decide on a suitcase.  Do I go with the ol' trusty one, or try something new?  Then you have to decide what to take.  I'll be gone almost two weeks.  What sorts of clothing options do I need for those two weeks?  I know south Texas won't be that cold (at least not compared to Germany), so do I lean toward clothing for milder temperatures or try and have a little bit of clothing for every possible climate that could pop up?  Then there's what to carry into the airplane cabin.  Do I just take magazines and try to sleep?  Do I take books and try to sleep?  Do I take cds and try to sleep?  Do I take nothing and bore myself to sleep?  Do I go hardcore and not sleep at all and just live off the complimentary peanuts, the in-flight movie, and the facinating life story of the person sitting next to me? These are all decisions I'm dealing with right now.  It's a freakin' tightrope, I tell ya. Related site: One Bag:  The Art and Science of Traveling Light 6:36:14 PM     |
