Learning Lessons

Kerry says:

I have been studying this lifestyle for a while now. One of the things I've learned, yet worries me more than a bit, is the Travel Light philosophy. Up until reading this I can honestly say I have never traveled light in my life. I had no idea that was part of this lifestyle either. LOL

I do now though, and I want to get good at this...so...in one week...when we go to Hawaii for a month...I plan on starting to practice.

They say to pack for no more than a week, no matter how long you travel for. Then you wash the clothes often. They say that's easier than heavy packing and lugging your bags all over the place. Some say that if you can figure out  how to pack only a carry on that you're doing even better. That is supposed to be ideal.

I really don't think I can get away with only a carry on at this point though. I am going to try very hard, however, to honor this Travel Light philosophy and I will be practicing.

What if I need something I didn't bring? What then? Oh NO!

They say that if you need something you didn't bring to just have a small budget, from $100 to $200 per trip, for buying the item(s) while you're traveling. Need a fancy dress, but didn't bring one...voila...new fancy dress bought in some awesome destination. Hmmmm...that sounds fun.

So, I will be trying very hard to pack lightly. I laugh as I type this, because I have my doubts. LOL.

I don't worry about Randy's packing. He's been traveling for business for years, and I've seen him fit a weeks worth of crap into the smallest of carry ons. He's already a master of this philosophy.

I'll try and remember to take a picture of my suitcase when I'm done...so you guys can rate how well you think I did.

Happy Travels!
