The first year I did this, my car and hence my room was crammed full. The next year I had a little less, nowI take one bag. Inside is 8 days of work clothes, and my computer. When I get to the 8th set of clothes it's time to drop everything else off at the laundry. I think I learned to pack light because I hate Kadi Easleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567815525192651318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-7132161177996186252010-02-15T16:34:25.072-05:002010-02-15T16:34:25.072-05:00That's pretty much my psychology, too.

When I go to a mystery conference away from home, I cram an astounding amount of clothing into my suitcase, along with everything else I could possibly need, however slight the odds. I end up using maybe half of what I take. But just having the stuff with me makes me feel more secure.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-11154171632573610412010-02-15T10:44:49.477-05:002010-02-15T10:44:49.477-05:00Hahaha.

Hubby packs minimal, five minutes before we drive out of the driveway. Sigh.<br /><br />I thought he'd learned his lesson decades ago. We went camping with our then young boys.

Interesting about the candles. I never thought of them that way.<br /><br />That's funny, Sheila. Or perhaps they were instructed what sort of things to bring and he just followed the list.
