I am not a minimalist in the home, but it is so nice to not be overburdened on vacation.pennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727291511829658991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-31901378254536844002017-10-23T19:27:59.333-05:002017-10-23T19:27:59.333-05:00Thanks to terrible flight luck and always having t...Thanks to terrible flight luck and always having to cabin check my roller, I started packing for trips with a backpack and a mini duffel. It’s worked for trips home and two weeklong trips to Europe this summer for meetings! It’s actually freeing not being able to buy too many souvenirs, and my reasoning is I can mail things home as I want to, AND I can always buy what I need (shampoo, contact solution) there. Might not work for a trip to India, but that’s never happening again ;) <br /><br />Bonne chance à Q.C! Il y’avait dix ans depuis j’ai parlé Français, et maintenant, c’est plus difficile quand je lis un roman très facile.

I love travelling light!

It seems to be the only thing that makes me feel the slightest bit better about having to go back to work (read: leave my baby). It's funny how heavy stuff becomes.Penny @ She Picks Up Pennieshttp://shepicksuppennies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-5176800491770602202017-10-21T18:32:50.160-05:002017-10-21T18:32:50.160-05:00I typically wear my t-shirts for two days, as it i...I typically wear my t-shirts for two days, as it isn't too hot here and I don't get too sweaty. I will definitely wash them sooner if there's any sign that they need them! I did, however, manage to pack 7 t-shirts and a sweater into my carry on, so I could wear a different one every day if I wanted.Solitary Diner (Also Known as The Frugalish Physician)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01239189582752445700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4654303930129608743.post-73544595837223048372017-10-21T17:49:41.171-05:002017-10-21T17:49:41.171-05:00Do you do laundry while traveling with that amount...Do you do laundry while traveling with that amount of clothing, or rewear items? <br /><br />I hate to wear clothes that aren't clean. I don't know if I'm particularly stinky, but I think clothes smell so foul if they aren't clean. I did laundry today and happened to sniff and yes, I definitely think worn clothes stink. Am I particularly dirty and odorific? Do I have low tolerance? How do you manage it? <br /><br />I do live in the South where it is hot and I sweat a lot, so there's that. But even when I live abroad without laundry facilities, it unusual that I'll rewear much - I'll schlepp or handwash a lot. NOLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572754078356812922noreply@blogger.com
