In the last couple of days, I filled the travel backpack with things I thought I will need for a 9-day trip. I then closed the bag and carried it around for a bit, testing the bag’s weight and feel. For several times now, I kept removing things. At this point, D was surprised by how little I have. To stop myself from worrying, I have a mental image of what I shall wear repeatedly.

Unknown factors like the crazy weather can throw all this in the air. That is why I am bringing my bank cards along. 😉
