Packing Obsessions

I HATE packing!!!

After schlepping my heavy a**ed bags up and down train station steps in Europe last trip, I am DRIVEN to reduce the amount of stuff I will take with me this trip. I bought new bags: a rolling duffle bag and a small sized hiker's backpack. I've already packed my bags, and each day I review what I've packed and remove more stuff. Forget about variety. Forget about dancing. Forget about dressing up. What makes this trip challenging is the range of climates and temperatures for which I must be prepared: hot rainy weather, the beach, glaciers. Right now I'm debating what books to take with me. Sending stuff to myself is not an option this time. Packing is hell. Argh!!!!

Cheers,
Stacey
