Irving: Packing for a vacation really makes you face reality, doesn't it? I mean, we own all those clothes...but how much do we really need for a weeklong trip?? That wasn't the reality I was talking about facing! Cathy: I haven't started on shoes.
I always planned ahead and selected separates that combined well (especially if the events were scheduled, or a business trip with just my own choice of evenings out).

Now that I have experienced MORE lost and damaged luggage, I’d rather just ship it ahead (as I often did with my folding birdcage).
