06/12/06 10:40 AM: Guide to Packing
i found this article via 43 folders this afternoon. it’s a guide to packing light… one carry-on. it’s aimed towards a hiker/outdoorsy person, but i think serves as a good guide for travel in general.
the main point is right on though, that packing for a few days versus packing for a week versus a month isn’t all that different. since it’s a “trip” and not a “move” you are not going to bring your entire wardrobe with you. so, pick and choose wisely and honestly who really cares if you wear the same two shirts for a week? (of course you will want to wash them).
reading packing tips reminds me how badly i want to go on a vacation. i have four days off for independence day… i’d like to take a train trip up to new england. we’ll see, i doubt it’s going to happen. but amtrak is pretty cheap… $66 each way to new haven.
