traveling

Over the past week or so, I’ve been asking myself the question every self-respecting traveler asks well in advance of his/her trip—“What’s gonna go in the bag?” My goal, admirable but perhaps ill-advised, is to make everything except my toiletries bag fit in one bag, which I will check.I will live out of that bag for a day short of two weeks. Thankfully, the vagaries of flight will deposit me in a land known more for sunshine than for snow. It’s far easier to pack for sand and sun than it is for snow and cold. No boots, no sweaters, no scarves.
