It's all I have to bring today –
This, and my heart beside –
This, and my heart, and all the fields –
And all the meadows wide –
Be sure you count – should I forget
Some one the sum could tell –
This, and my heart, and all the Bees
Which in the Clover dwell.
Emily Dickinson
This Texas girl has learned how to pack light. At least I'm halfway through the ordeal. I wanted you to see all the toiletries I'm taking. I was pretty proud of myself. Steves says limit yourself to 20lbs and I wonder if I can do it. I don't really need to because I have a home base, but it'll be fun to try.
Staying for longer than a week? Have really long hair and a three ounce bottle of shampoo means two washes? Buy local. Use toiletry needs as an opportunity for heading to a local pharmacy. Remember if you think you can't do without a particular American item ask yourself how do millions of Europeons survive without it?
Good job on the packing! It is so annoying to be stuck lugging around way more than you need.
ReplyDeleteI love that you posted about what you packed. Packing efficiently is so much fun and I always love learning from others about it.
