6. Packing Update!

As Edna puts it- "TOO MUCH!"

I'm cutting every clothing group by 1-3 items to make some more room in my bag. The more I organize and test pack and converse with my travel mates, the more I question the necessity of things. Plus, if my bag weighs half as much as I do, I will seriously regret having to lug it around. I have also come to question the weight of my bag as I might be approaching the 50 lb checked bag limit.

In my last count of what to bring I totally overlooked sleepwear/comfy clothes and the outfit(s) I would wear on the plane rides. So some things got shuffled around, final choices of actual items were made, and I come to a new grand total of 36 clothing items. Being down 5 items doesn't seem like much, but when I was about to be on the verge of adding 10- I feel good about this. As mentioned in my previous post, the gear and supplies are important. Sunscreen, bug repellant, and some toiletries are hard to come by, so making sure I feel comfortable with amounts of these things is going to trump my desire for that cute tee. Plus, how will I be able to bring back fabrics and dresses and gifts?

Now I have some more room for toilet paper.
