Can she do it?
I am inexplicably obsessed with the desire to use only a carry-on suitcase for our trip. One carry-on for my things, that is, not for both of our belongings. (I may be a little bit of a kook, but I'm not certifiable!)I don't really have a good reason, so it would be futile to ask why. There is no practical need for it, as we won't be trekking around with our baggage daily. But there is something so satisfying about being thoughtful and planning just right. I dream that I am a jet-setting world-traveler who can throw a few items into a bag and yet spend two weeks in Europe looking as though she's delved into her closet-full-of-clothes each day. Every item just right, looks and feels stylish and fabulous each day, never feels at a loss for something left at home.
Today is "practice packing" day. Really, that's what I wrote on my calendar - "Practice Packing." Kiefer is skeptical. I am giddy with anticipation. We'll see if I can do it!

You've been reading your Rick Steves! I'm doing it! I practiced my packing two weeks ago and came out okay. I had to estimate some of the toiletries and may end up sacrificing in either the skin- or hair-care categories (which is worse?!), but it is all so ingenious and I'm very proud of myself! I can unzip and expand the bag on the way back if I gather enough treasures to warrant it, and I am packing a day pack and tote for daily use, either or both of which can also become a carry-on if that's the case. GENIUS.
