I really wanted to pack light for this trip.
So me, being me, I researched it on the net. I found the definitive source and that is onebag.com
This is the kind of guy who could travel around the world with a single bag! How wonderful would that be? No lost luggage, no waiting, mobility..so many advantages to one- bagging it. I have learned so many practical tips on this site..( wrap a couple yards of duct tape around a pencil…cause hey..who doesn’t need a little duct tape in their lives?)
This site inspired me! Why , I can do this…even though it requires lists! I can rise above!
I’m trying really hard..but it’s coming down to choosing essentials. Clothes? Not a big issue. I can always wash clothes, and I am not a high maintenance kinda gal in that department. Golf clothes do me just fine. And, it’s warm, so I don’t have to take winter clothes.
The problem is..I need a whole bag…for my gadgets.
Actually, I have several gadget bags.
There’s the “stuff I don’t need until I get there” gadget bag..the garmin GPS, the sky caddie golf GPS ( yes, i am directionally challenged), the spare camera and all the attendant cords and chargers. Got a voltage adapter too. They are packed away neatly in..little ziplock bags
Then I have a bag for all the accessories for the stuff I need on the plane…my itouch, my macbook, my camera. Come to think of it, each of these has it’s own case..”special” bags ;-) I also have a little bag for all the cords and chargers and headphones and memory cards and usb sticks.
This bag is going in my carry-on bag.
So, perhaps one bag is a bit of a stretch…
and now…..I gotta deal with….the shoes….
it’s Ok..I have a shoe bag!
