My suitcase lies empty in the corner of my room mocking my procrastination. I've gathered everything from Professor Shriver's check list--field pants, two water bottles, rain boots, binoculars, etc... Now, I'm on my own. What else will I want? A few sundresses? A pair of jeans? Some comfy sweats? Ugh, I have no clue! Do I need everything? Do I want anything?
I'm a chronic under packer. I hate feeling burdened by possessions while traveling; yet, I want to be comfortable. Smart packing requires thinking ahead. What will I want to be wearing on Day 1 while sight seeing in Quito? Definitely comfy shoes. What will I want on Day 4 while touring the shade tree coffee farm? And, what exactly is the dress code for "evening insect sampling?" Even Carrie Bradshaw's bottomless closet would be inadequate for such an excursion.
Within a few short days, we'll be away from the cold, transplanted to a new place. No matter what I bring or don't bring, I know an amazing trip is ahead of me. Just don't forget your passport!
