<< I keep trying to ferret out clutter in all it's nefarious guises, the mythology of the prepared traveler being one. I've never found myself anywhere where I couldn't a) do without or b) purchase what I needed. >> Rebecca, You've got that right! I've done so well on clutter in the house, but somehow traveling is my weakness - and I've already cut way back on what I bring. It's an area I need to keep working on - especially for flying with the current airport situation. Generally I do better if we're going to fly, but when we start loading the van I just toss EVERYTHING in there. Particularly when we're traveling for soccer and have to be prepared for any weather because we're going to be out in it - no matter what. I've stood huddled under a golf umbrella while wearing a rain jacket with a poncho over it and sheets of rain pouring down around me, while the team played on and the ball "plopped" from one puddle to the next. Boy, did I regret not having my rubber boots that weekend - not somthing I really wanted to buy more of... Just the gear alone for soccer is ridiculous - 2 uniforms, 2 practice jerseys, thermal tops, 2 sets of cleats & shingaurds, etc. I need to work on packing less "extra" clothing - it ends up being so much to load, unload and keep track of.
