SOME OF US ARE JUST NOT MEANT FOR THE OPEN ROAD (but this time I'm not referring to my suspect driving)
I may live on two continents, but that doesn't mean that I travel well. Maybe a photo or two of the toilettries I brought on a recent 5-day trip will suffice to explain. True confession: I am a reforming hoarder who has really tried to cut back on what I need to bring when leaving home, but you probably couldn't tell from these pictures. And this isn't even all of it. In an effort at self-help, I'm going to list some of these objects, and think out loud about how necessary they are.
ON SECOND THOUGHT, NEVER MIND! I see that I started this post over a month ago, and it just sat here waiting for me to deal with it. ARGH! More hoarding?
But maybe there's another way to look at it: I knew I had another trip coming up, and my intention was to study all this stuff and see what I could do to travel lighter. As an extra incentive, there would be no checked bags, and the weight limit for carry-on was 8 kilo...
