Pack Rat?

What does it mean to travel light?

I take personal pride in being an efficient packer (probably due to my childhood fascination with Castro Convertible furniture- I love multi-purpose things!) – bringing “just” enough to handle whatever climate or adventure situations I might come upon.

I recently returned from an amazing 4 week trip to Denmark, Norway and Iceland. Temperatures ranged from the 40’s to the 80’s, rain, sun, eating out with friends, dining at a few high-end restaurants as well as unexpected invitations to people’s homes. We traveled by air, train, car and boat.

But I was clearly WAY OVERPACKED! (photos 1&2)

Hmmm.... something to remember for my next trip. My back will thank me!
